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 feels like a cozy, elegant hideaway with old world decor and a warm, family run atmosphere. The menu embraces authentic Eastern European and European flavors, with many items made from scratch, from bread and butter to desserts. Dishes such as beef stroganoff, pelmeni, chicken Kiev and borscht earn standout praise, along with vareniki and a memorable tasting menu that showcases traditional technique. Desserts like medovik, blinchiki crepes and homemade ice cream top off meals, while the service is consistently attentive, friendly and welcoming. The ambiance, candlelight and refined yet comforting decor transport guests, making it a great setting for celebrations or intimate meals at good value. Ermitage is frequently described as a memorable, homey and special dining experience that keeps guests coming back.
the best European cuisine in the city! this place is wonderful! We came from Florida for a couple of days & just fell in love with this restaurant! the hostess is super! the food is great! It's unforgettable
Je suis allé mangé là 2 fois pour mon anniversaire. La nourriture est excellente, le service est très bon & rapide, l'atmosphère russe est immersive! Les plats russes & européens sont excellents à ce restaurant! Le chef m'a cuisiné un gâteau spécial secret pour célébrer mon anniversaire. Je suis très content! Je recommande à tout le monde qui veulent s'initier à la nourriture Russe d'aller manger à ce restaurant. Je recommande aussi aux amateurs de nourriture russe d'y aller, aussi! Bravo, merci & j'ai hâte de retourner à ce restaurant pour une troisième fois!

A very authentic Russian fine dining experience. Excellent variety of food, all homemade. The présentation & service was excellent as well. I highly recommend trying the tasting menu.
Amazing place! The atmosphere was very friendly & welcoming, & all the staff were very kind as well. The food was delicious & everything was hand-made. I would definitely come back - one of the best places I've been to in Montreal for sure! We also celebrated a friends birthday & the staff made sure it was an amazing experience :)
Loved the experience to enjoy great & delicious Russian food. The 3 kind fish, the borscht, the Kiev chicken with veggies & the dessert all yummy 😋 loved the presentation & the warm service 🤠🤩 for sure I'll be back.
We had a really good time. The decor is like something out of Dr. Zhivago, & the food & service were terrific. I can't remember when I last went to a restaurant with actual lit taper candles on the table.
Nous y avons fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari. C'était notre première fois chez Ermitage & ce fut la plus belle découverte de la soirée. L'atmosphère & les décorations du resto te transportent dans un autre siècle. Gala, la hôte, nous a accompagné avec des conseils & des recommandations dans nos choix. Elle fait vraiment attention à chaque petit détail pour nous offrir une expérience de rêve. Nous avons pris le boeuf bourguignon, l'agneau, le filet mignon Rossini & la caille flambée. Absolument impeccable, pas un mot à redire. Pour une petite entrée à partager, le plat principal & une bouteille de vin à quatre, on a payé entre 50-60$ par personne, ce qui est un prix super décent considérant la fraîcheur des plats préparés sur le coup & maison. Notre seul regret c'est de ne pas avoir pu prendre un dessert, mais ça va nous donner l'occasion d'y retourner.
Super tasty food & beer, & great attentive service. Even better than the food I had back in Russia. Best I've ever had in Canada. Will come back to Montreal just for the food ♥️ this place is a gem.
Dont remember the names of what we got but it was all incredible & tasty:) Service really nice & attentive too!! Picture is one of the crepes with cavia

The host was very very nice & made sure we were very well taken care of, this is not to mention the quality of the food we had there. I highly recommend the degustation menu for a nice variety of Russian staples!
Repas & service exceptionnel à prix très raisonnable. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & les quantités sont très généreuses, la serveuse est attentionnée & le lieu propre. Nous reviendrons encore souvent
It was amazing service was very very excellent . in fact it was like eating at home with family the food was made from scratch & fresh even the butter !
Je n'ai pas eu l'opportunité d'essayer davantage la cuisine russe. Dans l'ensemble j'ai bien aimé sauf le dessert. Le borscht est très bon. Service très courtois & joli décor. J'ai beaucoup aimé les objects anciens disposés, les cadres & le simple fait d'avoir une vraie bougie sur la table.
Beautiful restaurant! Relaxing Atmosphere. Amazing & Attentive Service! Homemade Eastern European cuisine. 5 stars! I Definitely recommend! I was impressed from the time I walked in, to the time I left.
