Chez Anna is everything I love about eating out: trying something fun & delicious prepared by someone who clearly loves what they do & food too.
We each sampled a schnitzel with spaetzel, my partner had the pork & I had the chicken. It was perfectly prepared, wasn't greasy at all. Anna accommodated my allergy easily & swapped my side for cucumber salad which was also excellent.
We also had her chicken noodle soup to start which was tasty & fresh too.
If I lived in Montreal, I'd be here all the time.
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.
This was our first time at Chez Anna, & we were so impressed! The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, & had that comforting, home-cooked taste that's hard to find at restaurants. You can tell everything is prepared with care. The staff at Chez Anna were warm, accommodating, & genuinely friendly, which made us feel right at home.
My brother-in-law, who's a regular, brought us here while we were visiting from out of town, & now we understand why he loves it so much. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming-perfect for sharing a meal with family. Chez Anna is the kind of place you instantly want to come back to. We'll definitely be making this a must-stop every time we're in town!
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.
First let's understand what your expectations should be before you eat here. This is old school home style authentic Hungarian cooking at a high & genuine level. You come for the food, bonus is spontaneous music for anyone to play the on display piano & guitar, the warm friendly staff & service. They are going to be moving things around so that the dining area has its own section but I find this also quite fun & different. Great portions & very reasonable prices. They also do catering & will also take special (off menu) orders but best to call in advance to be sure they are prepared. Though reservations are not mandatory they have limited seating & it's best to be sure by reservation. If you are a Hungarian speaker - do feel comfortable to speak with the staff as they appreciate this very much. The menu is not wide, however, everything on the menu is awesome. They have a fruit & vegetable grocery at the front & fresh seafood & fish at the back. Fish variety if not wide but they are all top notch quality & fresh. I personally with to thank the staff & ownership for continuing the tradition of cooking Hungarian food to the Montreal populous as we need more restaurants like yours.
Excellent cuisine. A true hidden gem to say the least. It is inside the Waldmans' on St Laurent blvd near Rachel. Looks like a fruit & veg depanneur from the outside. Don't let that away you. Nice little tables set up.in the back. Worth the search. Anna cooks everything from scratch. So fresh & tasty! An the apple strudel!!!! Delicious Will definitely return. They have take out also. You have to try it.
