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 offers an authentic Eastern European dining experience with many dishes made in house, from bread to dairy, and a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels both cozy and refined. The menu blends world famous classics with signature specialties, including pelmeni, beef stroganoff, chicken Kiev, and delicate desserts like medovik, all crafted from high quality ingredients. Service is consistently attentive and friendly, and the setting combines quiet elegance with a welcoming, homey vibe. The restaurant earns high praise for its remarkable flavor, thoughtful touches, and good value, making it a standout choice for occasions or a special night out.
Highly recommend this place!!!! The food was AMAZING! The staff were all super friendly & welcoming! The atmosphere was also very nice. Will definitely recommend & bring more friends here when visiting Montreal again!
C était la première fois pour nous & ça ne sera surtout pas la dernière! Magnifique petit restaurant! Les plats sont délicieux de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert ... L'ambiance est chaleureuse & calme surtout à l'ouverture durant la semaine ... Le service est formidable! Très gentilles & attentionnée & nous accueille en allumant une chandelle à notre table... Nous avions pris... Soupe aux champignons Saumon mariné à l'aneth & aux baies roses Vodka Moskovskaya Pelmeni de boeuf Cinzano Côtelettes d'agneau grillés avec sauce au madère & cèpes Gâteaux du jour... Le tout accompagné de pain chaud & petit beurre... Au final, c'est un restaurant digne de son histoire tout comme le mentionne dans le début de la lecture du menu...

Restaurant Ermitage is more than a place to eat-it's an exploration of culture, history, & flavor. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a curious local, this culinary journey to Russia is worth every moment. Make a reservation, savor the dishes, & raise your glass to an unforgettable evening.
Authentic food & decorations which bring back memories about the home & childhood. Nowadays in most of restaurants a waitress brings you a plate with an attitude & expects 30% tip. Here you have a totally different experience of being welcomed as a special guest of the house by the hosts. The prices are a bit high but they do reflect the quality & taste of the dishes.
It was a very pleasant surprise discovering this gem in Montreal. The menu was written in three languages; French, English, & Russian. It brought back tastes of childhood growing up in the country. The decor was beautiful to admire during our visit. The bread served prior to the meal was deliciously hand made. The service added a very family welcoming feel adding to the taste of the food.
Possibly my best dining experience in Montreal. My partner & I decided to celebrate our anniversary here. Both being of Eastern European heritage, our standards are quite high when it comes to cuisine resembling our own - & I can honestly say that Ermitage blew us away. Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, & incredibly authentic! Moreover, every single thing they serve is made from scratch. Each course of the tasting menu was a delight, & the amount of food served was perfect. We chose different main meals, both of which were made with meat so tender that it melts in your mouth. I also can't overstate how pleasant & attentive the service was. I'm so glad that we decided to celebrate our special day here, & am very much looking forward to our next visit!
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.
