Chez Anna pushes generous portions hard. Fish & chips come stacked: large fillets, light batter, & their battered fries hit the same crisp-satisfying note. The fish is fresh, which shows in both texture & flavor, & makes sense given the place doubles as a fish shop.
There is a strong Hungarian thread in the menu. Hearty stews, comforting sides, & seasoning profiles you don't often see in similar casual spots. That mix of a fish counter with Central European comfort food makes the place feel distinct.
Tucked away & easy to overlook, it fits the hidden gem label. Unpretentious, good value, & memorable for both portion size & the unexpected range of dishes.
I really wanted to like this place because of the amazing reviews, but we just weren't impressed. Yes it's home style food, but it wasn't even salted & there was hardly any flavor. We had a cucumber salad, paprika chicken, & the stuffed crepe. The cucumber salad was the best thing we had but the other two dishes were very meh.
We love trying new cuisines from different countries & I'm eastern european so I know these kinds of comfort foods, but this place just didn't do it for us.
Service was fine, lady was nice, & I liked the casual feel of the seating.
Edith & Anna & the bartender; fantastic enthusiastic sweet crew! They've added seafood dishes! Delicious ceviche style salad & salmon, fish & chips! All delicioso!
I'll start with the phone call for making the reservation. What Anna told me describes the restaurant perfectly:'we got good food & we got alcohol. The only thing you need to bring is your appetite'
You want good authentic hungarian food? That is your spot. Most generous portions I have seen in MTL for a while!
So far you understand you come to a mom-&-pops type restaurant, you'll have a great time. The menu is one page, & each meal they make they make well!!
Anna is a great host & Lili was a very good waitress, it felt like we were at home.
We took the salads, soups & the crepe appetizer. The crepe is like nothijg you had before, definitely would recommend as an introduction to hungarian food.
Then the schnitzel, cordon bleu & rabbit for main dishes. All of them delicious.
The desserts are either an apple or cherry strudel. both are equally delicious! Anna really knows her craft.
I cannot believe it is still a hidden gem, you must visit!
What a jewel. The ultimate place, if you want to experience home cooking quality dishes. I had the veal crêpe (remember to ask for a bun to lap up sauce). The main, Goulash was everything one could expect. I had the plum strudel, & you tell it was made there. My son had apple, you could taste how fresh the apples were. The restaurant section is a portion, within "marketplace ". There's à Piano + Guitar if anyone wants to play. I'll definitely be back. BTW 3 course meal for 2 was < $80. Simply can't béat that.
All the dishes on the menu are excellent!! However, it's too bad the restaurant isn't really visible from the outside & the atmosphere could be better given it's in depanneur/fish store.
Hidden in the rear of Waldman's fish market is a hidden gem. With a few tables to eat at, this Hungarian restaurant serves all the delights. From Cucumer & Beet salads to Veal Paprikash & Beef Goulash, all is made to order. The menu is small. Explanations of the dishes are clear. If you are in the area & are looking for something new, different, & delicious, this is the place to stop.
Excellent food prepared by a sweet cook making authentic Hungarian dishes! Eatery tucked into the back of a mainly Latino grocery store with plans to expand their Hungarian food offerings.
Quaint little place which taste like a home cooked meal made by your own grandmother. The owner is very kind & attentive. My husband had the lamb goulash & I had the kashakaval dish (warning, it’s a lot of cheese!). Both dishes were delicious!
