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.
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 !
Bouffe très bonne. Service professionnel. Terrasse paisible devant le restaurant. C'est une table à découvrir. La plat poisson - du doré - était parfait.
La guerre oubliée dans ce restaurant où notre gentille serveuse du nom de Gala se disait ukrainienne...: il faudrait envoyer sa photo - ainsi que celle du restaurant à tous les Québécois, comme une preuve supplémentaire de notre capacité à réconcilier les différences? En attendant la possibilité de faire honneur au musée lui-même. à St-Pétersbourg, la prochaine fois que j'irai au restaurant "Ermitage", j'essaie le fameux "poulet à la Kiev", autre plat offert au menu, autre démonstration qu'Ukraine & Russie peuvent faire bon ménage ensemble.
Excellent meal with best service even though it was pouring outside inside restaurant was lovely .totally recommend we enjoyed our evening. Thank you.will definitely return.
Just an amazing place. The atmosphere is very cozy, unobtrusive music, service at the highest level, inside everything is done with love, every corner. It was interesting to visit this place & look at every corner of this restaurant, every chandelier, painting & ceiling. The food here is special, every dish was top notch: soups, meat, fish, salad, cold appetizers & of course, their signature ice cream, which they make themselves, is a delight. I would give this place 10 stars if it were possible. We will remember this place, it will become for us the highlight of the city of Montreal. Thanks to the hostess & chef for such a welcome!
Extremely good experience for having a fine dinner or celebrating for birthday! Excellent food, suitable service, all is well beyond expectations! Worth going!
As usual, the service was up to par & the cuisine was delicious (always homemade, with fresh ingredients).
I would a go back again & again & would recommend this restaurant to all of my family members & friends.
Thanks for making tonight a night to remember.
