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.
What an amazing place! Cute little restaurant where owners work tirelessly for the most authentic food.
Everything tasted amazing, caviar was very fresh & all the dishes were perfect. The ambiance, the candles, music were all perfect. Definitely coming back.
Amazing food, celebrated my birthday with a friend & loved the experience from A to Z! A must try! One of the best restaurants in the city, it's hard to find these days!
Our family enjoyed a delicious Christmas Eve dinner together. The hosts were incredibly welcoming & attentive & the food was shared with care & pride. My daughter shared that it felt like having a home cooked meal made just for each one of us!

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.
