Absolutely the best restaurant in Montreal-no doubt about it! Nothing else even comes close. It's like tasting food straight from heaven. The ambiance is a perfect mix of chic, romantic, & family-friendly. The décor adds so much charm to the atmosphere. The owner is impeccable-friendly, welcoming, & completely hands-on, making sure every detail is perfect. I highly recommend this place. Never skip it-go eat there!

Our dinner & overall experience at Ermitage was one of the highlights of our 4 day trip to Montreal. We had so much fun with our host (the owner, I believe), who talked us decisively through her recommendations. My family loved the beef stroganoff & my vareniki - served in a little pot with incredible flavor - was my favorite meal of the trip. I cannot stress enough - save room & order the medovik (honey cake). Such a good meal & experience in a fun, welcoming & eclectic setting. Highly highly recommend.

Ermitage: More Than Just a Restaurant - A Family Experience!
While visiting Montreal with my husband, we discovered Ermitage - & our experience there exceeded all expectations.
Galina, the exceptional host, along with her friend Nona who was working with her that evening, made the night unforgettable. Their genuine warmth & care made us feel so welcome that we didn't want to leave. We ended up spending more than four hours there, feeling like we were sharing time with very close friends.
We enjoyed pelmeni, vareniki, medovik, & olivie - every dish bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of home. As someone from the same cultural background, it was a truly comforting & nostalgic meal.
That evening, two celebrations were happening, filling the restaurant with lively music, sparkling cakes, & golden crowns placed on honored guests. The joyful, festive atmosphere made us feel like part of a big, happy family. We were warmly included in the celebrations, which made the experience even more special.
Wishing Galina, her husband-the talented chef-Nona, their friend, & the entire team continued success & all the best in their wonderful family business. If you want authentic Eastern European cuisine served with heartfelt hospitality, Ermitage is a true Montreal treasure. I highly recommend visiting Ermitage!

Friends, I just discovered an incredible Eastern European restaurant in downtown Montreal! I went there for lunch today, & I have to say - I'm truly impressed! The borscht was a standout: rich, hearty, & bursting with flavor. The presentation was on point, making it feel like a special experience from the very first bite. The interior is warm & inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that feels like you're stepping into someone's home. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, & enjoy a meal that's made with care. The location is super convenient, & what really added to the experience was the owner, Galina. She's so welcoming & friendly, making sure everyone feels right at home. If you're curious about authentic Russian & Ukrainian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't find anything better in Montreal! I highly recommend it - perfect for anyone who loves good food with a homey touch. Let me know if you want to go there together sometime! 😊
