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.

Merci pour l'excellent repas!

Ermitage has become our go-to place for many special occasions- anniversaries, birthdays & even a wedding party. Chef Oleg & the staff are consistently attentive, & the décor effortlessly chic. It's the perfect setting for a sophisticated ambiance. The house wine is delightful, & the price is excellent value given the fine-dining feel of the candles, fresh linen & it's European-style décor. I strongly recommend this gem for any form of gathering over a nice meal &/or celebration.

Celebrated our 6th anniversary here & it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had (which is high praise considering the options in Montreal). We ordered foie gras & borscht for appetizers, & for the main course, I ordered the Duck Magret & my partner had the Beef Stroganoff. We ended on a delightful Fraises Romanoff. The server was very courteous & helpful!
Très bon restaurant de cuisine russe & europeene, je ne me souviens pas avoir été aussi bien acceuili dans un restaurant, je le recommande autant pour la gentillesse des 2 dames qui font le service que pour sa cuisine, merci encore !
J'ai adoré mon service & la nourriture! J'ai eu l'occasion de danser sur de la bonne musique après mon repas succulent (servi avec amour & connaissance par Galina). L'ambiance est excellente & la décoration très jolie. La multitude de saveurs est à partager en famille!
Ce lieu est une véritable pépite : excellent rapport qualité-prix, expérience culturelle enrichissante & accueil chaleureux. Une expérience à recommander sans hésitation.
La propriétaire, d'une grande gentillesse, a pris le temps de tout expliquer & nous a même offert une attention. On sent une véritable passion & une volonté sincère de faire plaisir.
La nourriture était délicieuse. Nous sommes venus pour les soupes & avons eu la belle surprise de découvrir une cuisine authentique & raffinée. Le restaurant, décoré avec élégance, reflète le soin des propriétaires jusque dans les détails, comme les superbes orchidées naturelles.
