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.
Amazing food ,had the best chicken soup in my whole entire life,staff are very friendly & welcoming, i recommend this place 100%,for sure i will go there every week
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.
Delicious food & the people are so warm & friendly. Bit of a hole in the wall hiding in a small grocery store, but well worth stopping in here. If you have a craving for schnitzel, you won't be disappointed. After tasting the schnitzel, I couldn't stay away, & am excited for tonight's paprikash. Thank you Anna!
Fabuleux. Que dire de cette experience lunaire? On rentre par la partie supermarché & on s'installe au milieu pour manger. La matrone est aux manettes & croyez-moi, elle sait ce qu'elle fait. Au menu, paprikas, gulashs, spaetzle, schnitzel, etc... De ce que je peux en dire, difficile de trouver plus authentique. Les produits sont frais, le gout est fabuleux, l'ambiance est plus que lunaire avec les gens qui font leurs courses. Bref, c'est le genre d'endroits secrets qu'on doit essayer a tout prix quand on aime sortir des sentiers battus. Merci Anna, vous avez fait ma semaine!!! Par ailleurs, meilleure schnitzel depuis que j'ai quitté Vienne.
Fantastic & authentic Hungarian home cooked food. As my dear friend, who grew up with his Hungarian mother's cooking, it reminds him of his earlier days eating at his mom's dinner table. Flavorful & hearty comfort food, feels like a warm hug on a plate. Loved it, & will definitely be back for more.
My husband discovered this l'il gem of a place on the internet. We were coming into town for a concert, & wanted to go for an early dinner. As foodies our objective is real good food for a decent price. We'll, we certainly found it at Chez Anna. The portions were generous, the price was good, the food was delicious, delicious, delicious!!! Thank you to Anna & Edith for their kindness & hospitality. We are eagerly looking to return, this time with our young adult children. Give it a try, very much worth it. We loved our choices of veal paprikash & pork schnitzel 😋❤️😋❤️😋❤️😋❤️
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.
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.

This place is amazing. Hands down one of the best Hungarian places to go around. The homey atmosphere & the piano with nice artwork & quick service. They even went out to get our favourite beers! Please try this place out & bring friends. They treat you like royalty.
What a great concept of the whole place! Besides that - GREAT food! Typical Austro-Hungarian cuisine, served in the most authentic way! Kaskaval pane was one of the best ones I have ever tried in my life! Compliments & greetings from Europe. Chapeau!
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.

Delicious authentic Hungarian food in a cozy restaurant inside a small grocery. Everything we had was excellent, including the paprika chicken, rabbit, & chicken schnitzel.
I've never been in person, but I have ordered many times. The food is so good & smells so delicious once a skunk robbed my meal on my front door within minutes of it being delivered. Generous portions, fast service, worth fighting a skunk for!
A small hidden gem in a small grocery store! Delicious! We took the cordon bleu & the schnitzel with the crepe as a starter. It was a very nice experience, specially dining in a supermarket! We will definitely come back!
