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.
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.
I love everything about Chez Anna. I love that you're sitting in the back of a small grocery store, I love that there are only like 6 tables, I love that the service is warm & welcoming, but most of all I love the food. This is Hungarian food as it should be - home cooked, rich, warm, filling, & so so delicious. I haven't had my nagymama's cooking since the last time I visited Hungary, but Chez Anna is the next best thing. Go here, eat everything, you will not be sorry. Nagyon szépen köszönöm a finom vacsorát, Chez Anna.

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.
I really enjoyed dining at chez Anna, the ladies working there are lovely, food is great, big portions & reasonably priced, the setting is inside a grocery store but the vibe is intimate & cute, I love it. 10/10
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!
By far the BEST place to eat on St. Laurent. The food is absolutely incredible & the service was lovely! I come back again & again because it's just so good & feels so homey:)
Fantastic spot. Best authentic Hungarian food we've had in a long time! Great service, quick, great portions & good prices. Couldn't ask for more. We will return for sure!
Très bonne expérience chez Anna ! Le lieu est atypique : la salle est au milieu d'un marché couvert, donnant sur la grande cuisine ouverte. Les produits sont frais, d'excellente qualité, les portions sont très généreuses & la cuisine est exquise. Tout ça pour un tarif imbattable. Je recommande !
We visited the city for conferencing, got bored of the event on its third day & decided to climb up Mt. Royal, & on our way down found this absolute gem where we thought we could perhaps find some figs & smetana. After we realized they also serve food, we decided to stay for an unexpected feast. The food was as every bit good as the one I had tasted in Budapest during the two months I spent there, the wine was great & underrated as you would expect from a Hungarian wine, & our waiter was extremely nice to us - even more so after he learned we were from Turkey. If you want a quaint corner which feels like home & where you can have great food for a very reasonable price, this is probably the best Montreal has to offer.
It's a very enjoyable restaurant, it makes you feel at home, portions are a big & at a good price for value, food is delicious & service is great. A great place to go if you want to support a small business & to relax.
Food was amazing, price was fantastic, the team was so warm & inviting, & oddly enough eating in the middle of a grocery store was a fun experience. HIGHLY recommend eating here.

Petit restau atypique à Montreal, si manger hongrois au milieu d une petite épicerie ne vous fait pas peur... Tout était parfait, plats copieux & délicieux, service attentionné & prix contenu. Une belle découverte... A refaire avant notre départ...
Que dire ? L’accueil & le service ont été impeccables ! Les plats sont délicieux. Nous avions l’impression d’être en Hongrie l’espace d’une soirée. Encore merci à Anna & le serveur (son fils ?) !
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!
