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.
It's been 3 years since we've been coming to this restaurant for my husband's birthday. Service is always good, the lady is very generous & polite, ambience is pleasant, food is good & fresh! Best Russian resto in Montreal.
Was a wonderful dinner & service at this wonderful Russian restaurant in Montreal. We had a great time for my mom's birthday! Will certainly be back. Thank you!
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 🥰🥰🥰.

Great atmosphere & service, the restaurant almost feels like a museum thanks to the antique russian decor. The staff is very friendly & know multiple different languages. The food is amazing & everything tastes home made & authentic. Would highly reccomend the cottage cheese blini especially. The pricing is also very good. I wish i could eat here every day :)
This Russian cuisine restaurant, offers delicious food that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone! If you're in the mood for authentic Russian flavors, this is the place to go! Perfect service & a warm, inviting atmosphere
This is Russian cuisine at its best! I felt very nostalgic, & indeed, this experience was the most memorable part of my visit to Montreal. The service was great, the décor & ambience was perfect, & the food - the food!! The vodka was served in a lovely chilled decanter, the duck was cooked perfectly, but perhaps my favourite part was the appetizer platter with cured fish & a brilliant spread of classic Russian snacks. I can't say enough good about this wonderful place. It is a given that next time in Montreal, I won't be going just once, but as many times as I can!
I loved my experience at Ermitage.
Food was delicious & the service excellent.
My husband is russian & he loved it as well.
Everything was homemade & the atmosphere super warm.
highly recommend !
What a wonderful restaurant! The food was delicious & the people running the place are so welcoming, you get to experience the proper Russian hospitality. & you must try the desserts! I have a soft spot for Russian cakes, & the ones at this restaurant are clearly made with love.
A lovely restaurant offering Russian, Georgian & European specialties. I had their Georgian soup with a perfect blend of spices & filet mignon with chanterelles & foie gras, both dishes were delicious. The owner is charming & welcoming.
