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.
Ermitage est un parfait endroit pour des déjeuners de groupe. Nous avons choisi ce lieu pour le dernier déjeuner de notre association & tout c'est bien passé. Table bien dressée, la nourriture prête à temps & les boissons une bonne sélection était disponible. Le service était excellent!
The Russian food was excellent, you might not believe but my first Vodka shot I took it here. For me it was a complete immersion to the Russian culture. Loved it

I had a traditional Russian food it was delicious & the size of the meal was very enough. As a drink I had some great Russian Vodka I really missed it since I am back from Russia haven't tried such a good one. A unique Russian experience in the heart of Montreal.
When I had a bit of the appetizer only I got impatient to have the rest of the food. When they served us the food was without any surprise delicious. We had also few awesome vodka shots. Excellent experience!
Ce fut un énorme plaisir de manger un excellent repas dans ce restaurant au décor original, dans une ambience très chaleureuse & aussi se voir offir un service très agréable.
We came last week here for a family dinner & I think we will be coming again. Delicious food & lovely setting, service was also outstanding excellent & the atmosphere great.

Been to this restaurant to have my favorite beef stroganoff. Seating one of their comfortable chairs in this cozy interior of the restaurant I took my time to enjoy the delight & didn’t want to leave the place even.
My ex husband was a Russian & it’s because of him I got to know Ermitage. Since then I got addicted to the Borscht! It’s extremely tasty & I like it a lot. The service is excellent & the staff very professional. A great restaurant!
I love this restaurant first of all because they always have new Russian recipes. Overall I can say the service is 5/5, food: 5/5 & their way of handling guests is also top. Would recommend!
Ermitage is one the best Eastern European restaurant in Montreal. The food is excellent especially the Russian one that I have tasted was adorable. will be surely return.
The food was very good except for my duck magret, it was over cooked. They cut it first & than put it on the grill. They should have done the opposite. It was a bit expensive also for the plate they make. & the beer, do not buy beer there, it is way too expensive at $9.50.
