Chez Anna is described as a warm, homey, family run spot serving fresh, authentic Eastern European comfort food with generous portions. Dishes like schnitzel, goulash, spaetzle and apple strudel are praised for flavor and the sense that everything is made to order, with the food often felt to taste homemade. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, even though the restaurant is tucked inside a grocery store and easy to miss, and service is generally friendly and attentive, though occasionally a bit slow. The place is celebrated as a hidden gem offering hearty, comforting meals at good value, with many visitors planning to return.
Certains avis sont durs avec la nourriture…
la cuisinière n'est pas un chef.
Il n'y a pas une myriade de plats, des ingrédients simples & pas d'extravagance pour les recettes / épices
Aussi plusieurs avis parlent des gériatrie…en effet il y avait des personnes âgées, des habitués, mais j'y ai aussi vu le midi des jeunes , & des étudiants (qui emportent leur sandwich)
On y va pour l'ambiance
Il y a un piano & guitare & djembé
J'y suis allée deux fois !
La première, je me baladais sur Saint Laurent & « chez Anna » est un des endroits où je suis entrée ce jour là
J'y ai mangé car la soupe était à 10$
& que l'ambiance semblait sympa
J'y suis retourné deux jours après avec les amis , tous musiciens & chanteurs…
On a passé une super soirée
Quand on entre il y a une épicerie, fruits légumes , conserves, un étal de poissons
Il y a la cuisine, ouverte sur la salle du restaurant, c'est propre, chaleureux
Cuisine familiale, pour tous les goûts …
Des plats cuisinés, comme le goulache mais aussi de la friture, j'ai pris le fish & chip …poisson très bien , les frites , ok
En entrée on a partagé des crêpes fourrées , qui étaient accompagnées d'une sauce super bonne (comme une bisque)
Le soir ils étaient a court de dessert, le strudel aux pommes , (que j'avais vu la veille & qui a l'air super bon) alors la cuisinière a improvisé des crêpes sucrées pour une table !
Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde & c'est dommage …
Plusieurs personnes ont pris des sandwiches à emporter !
Le midi quand j'y suis allée il y avait juste deux tables , & des clients ont pris des sandwiches à emporter
Le soir (un samedi) il y avait deux tables de 4, (une table de retraités & une table familiale) & un monsieur (jeune) seul venu jouer du piano (& manger) & notre table de 5 (étudiantes)
Une des tables nous a offert des boissons !
Un monsieur (jeune) est venu à la fermeture acheter des petits gâteaux maison …alors j'en ai aussi pris pour le lendemain, c'était super bon (une pâte sablée, comme un sandwich avec une crème caramel très bonne)
L'endroit est assez calme, sauf bien sûr quand des clients jouent de la musique (& chantent) comme on a fait …
Mes amis ont dit qu'ils y reviendraient car ils ont aimé l'ambiance
Moi aussi , c'est dans ma liste des endroits où retourner !
This is definitely a place that I can see why it's easy to overlook, but it shouldn't be overlooked. The schnitzel was cooked to perfection, the spatzle was very nicely done, & the goulash was a celebration of savoury flavour. Also, our service was very attentive.
A small diamond in the ruff hidden in the back of the small grocery store Étoile Waldmans, those who like homemade Hungarian schnitzels , spetzel & goulash, will like Chez Anna, also fish specials & daily specials everyday. Fast ,warm & friendly. Food is made to order & delicious.
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.
What a great hidden gem- so hard to spot, we almost thought it didn't exist! Such a wonderful home cooked meal quality. The lamb goulash was tender & just what was needed on a cold winter night. Excellent & friendly service! Can't wait to go back & try more

Absolutely amazing food & beautiful people. Shout out to anna & her friend for the great vibes & great food! The goulash was soooo good i loved it so much.
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.
Mixed in with a grocery store, I was happy to drop by this eclectic place when visiting in Montreal a few weeks ago. The lamb goulash was incredible, & the owners make for good conversation.
looks like a supermarket but we head there for their goulash! Price is very fair & very hearty to have one especially in colder weather!!! The store workers are very friendly as well!!! 100% Recommended!
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!
