The Hermitage Museum in Saint-Petersburg is world famous. Real gourmets also remember the Hermitage (Ermitage) restaurant in Moscow. It is there, at the end of the XIX century, that French chef Lucien Olivier invented his renowned Russian salad.
Ermitage restaurant in Montreal keeps both traditions: the artistic atmosphere of the Saint-Petersburg Museum and the refined cuisine of Moscow famous French restaurant.
Ermitage is widely celebrated as a cozy, authentic gem in Montreal that offers an exceptional Eastern European dining experience. Guests consistently praise the high quality of the homemade cuisine, noting that everything from the bread to the desserts is prepared with remarkable care and love. The atmosphere is frequently described as warm, elegant, and nostalgic, feeling more like a private home than a traditional restaurant. Furthermore, the service is consistently highlighted for being exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and professional, making it a favorite destination for both special celebrations and relaxed meals.
Wow, wow, wow.... This was the first time eating Russian food. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the Christmas holiday. We were greeted & immediately seated at a table for two. Since it was the first time here, we opted for the tasting menu. A basket of warm bread was brought to the table with butter. We started with the fish platter, then the salmon caviar & blini. A small bit of homemade sour cream was provided. Next was a platter of piroshki & pelmeni. To clean our pallets, we had sherbet that was doused with vodka. How refreshing. The main dishes, which we selected, consisted of an order to lamb chops & an order of wapiti steak. Both have light gravy, roasted potatoes, & a variety of vegetables. A dessert of blinchiki with a light cheese stuffing & a drizzle of a cherry/raspberry coulis. Tea & / or coffee was also available. We were stuffed. The food was ALL, absolutely delicious. We will definitely go back. The service was unbelievable. Parking is a bit tough but doable. Reservations are highly recommended. The restaurant is very small & fills up quickly. Enjoy...
Cozy, good for families, a nice decoration, great & friendly staff, a peaceful environment, authentic dishes & tasty food! Delicious desserts, Highly Recommended ;)

Couldn't ask for a better experience in Montreal with my friends. From the infinite bread to the free ice cream that they gave us. Definitely recommend it to the others
If you yearn for the charm of old-fashioned gatherings sans self-service, where a gracious host attends to your every need, this restaurant is a nostalgic haven. With its unique character, it pampers you like a true bourgeois, sparing you dishwashing duties 😉. I recommend the "Degustation for Two" menu, offering a delightful journey through 7 distinct Russian flavors, including cold & warm starters 🤪, sorbet in Vodka🤯, a main dish of your choice 🤗, & a warm cheese crepe. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that makes time fly. Perfect for a charming date 😎. Indulge & savor because life is fleeting 🥰🥰🥰.
