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.
Très belle expérience hier soir. D'abord un excellent service, une serveuse efficace, souriante & qui connait très bien le menu. Nous avons très bien mangé. Il y a beaucoup de choix.
Nous sommes très-très contents!!! La nourriture était délicieuse aux superlatif, le service était magnifique, le personnel - très respectueux & les propriétaires sont merveilleux! La propriétaire était toujours impliquée dans tous & nous aider dans chaque situation & ça se voyait, elle faisait ça de tout son coeur, pas juste pour les argent, & très souvent elle était avec des enfants dans ses bras, en aident nos invités! Merci mille fois pour la magnifique soirée !
Superb setting, service, food. Our group ordered a wide variety of appetizers & entrees & all of these items were traditionally delicious & beautifully presented. We look forward to our next visit to Montreal & to another enjoyable evening at this excellent establishment.
Impeccable!
Service attentionné, courtois & chaleureux.
Nourriture de tout premier ordre, abondante, variée & exquise! À retenir pour revenir souvent d'autant plus que le stationnement à proximité est facile!

The setting was quaint but lacked in ambiance. Food was simple but not well prepared. The meat was served in very tasty sauces but was of poor quality & very tough to chew.
Un très bon accueil & de très bons plats, de l'entrée au dessert. Nous avions pris la table d'hôte du soir & c'était également parfait en quantité : on n'est pas ressorti avec le ventre trop plein, c'était juste ce qu'il fallait ! On recommande chaudement !
Visited Ermitage with my boyfriend last night. I've lived in Canada for 11 years now but am Russian-Ukrainian. The taste of food really hit home for me. I highly recommend this restaurant for some truly authentic Russian homemade food including Borchtch, Solianka & Chicken Kiev. You must have a slice of Medovik for dessert, it is to die for.
Its been 20 years of awesome, delicious & authentic Russian food in a magnificent ambience. They do catering & everything is home made starting from the bread to the end dessert. Thank you so much!
