Reviews describe Chez Anna as a warm, unpretentious homey spot with a strong Hungarian influence, where everything is made to order and portions are notably generous. Patrons highlight fresh ingredients, comforting soups, hearty stews, and standout dishes like schnitzel with spaetzle, goulash, and fish and chips, as well as sweet notes from apple strudel and crepes. A market setting inside a small grocery storefront adds a unique backdrop, with an open kitchen and a casual family run vibe that makes guests feel at home. Service is described as friendly and attentive by many, though a few note occasional slow timing. Many reviewers call it a hidden gem and a great value for Montreal, with generous portions that align with homemade flavors. Some comments mention the ambience with music and a diverse clientele, which enhances the welcoming neighbourhood feel. Overall the consensus is that Chez Anna offers authentic comforting home cooking with a distinct Central European twist and is worth a return visit.
i just had my meal experience ruined & I am feeling ill in my stomach after I went to pay & had the woman at the counter (I was told her name is Edith) verbally assaulting me. I was getting ready to pay & she uttered xenophobic remarks at me telling me it is the last time she wants to see me at'her' store. she said this in such an aggressive & full of hate manner as she was taking my money.
she said,'Spanish sl*ts are not welcome to come here'
??? I am not even Spanish, I am latina.
Completely unhinged behavior that I never experienced anywhere in Montreal before. I am still stunted.
First time we tried this restaurant. Guys, it was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING !!! Delicious food, super kind staff, perfect portion, good price! Definitely we'll be back! 🤩🤩🤩
A few tables located in the back of a dep made for a lovely experience. The women who served us were very kind & helpful, & the food was delicious. They served us water with cucumber too which was very refreshing :) I hope to come back

Avy-Loren Cohen's review is spot on. This isn't so much a formal restaurant as it is a small grocery store with an attached kitchen & dedicated dining area in the back (there are about 8 or so 4 person tables). What you can expect food-wise is an authentic Hungarian home-cooked meal. If that's the vibe you're looking for, then you absolutely won't be disappointed. As far as quality goes, the food was excellent, the service was prompt & very kind, & the value given the amount of food you get is solid. I would absolutely recommend Chez Anna if you are looking for a homestyle Hungarian meal in the city.
A wonderful place with an old soul & an interesting layout. You step into what seems like a small grocery store, & turn the corner to see a comfy group of tables set up (some with gorgeous designs on top-looks handpainted). The menu is perfect. Enough selection to give you choices, but not so much that it takes 20 minutes to figure out what you want. We came for my birthday, & I received the most heartfelt well wishes from our server, & she even put a candle in my strudel & sang Happy Birthday to me! I nearly cried. It was so, so nice. The perfect warm & cozy atmosphere, with the most comforting delicious food. I can't wait to come back!
It's exactly like visiting your grandmas house but in a grocery store setting! We got big glasses of wine on arrival & ordered the pork schnitzel which was absolutely divine! So happy we found this hidden spot! Best schnitzel 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.
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
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.
