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.
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.
AMAZING!!! I was here for my 3 year anniversary & it really felt special! The service was incredible & we were even surprised by a cake with some fireworks! 100% coming back!!!
Nice, classy place.
Delicious food cooked from scratch.
Solianka & chicken Kiyev were truly impressive.
So much better than anything we tried in old Montreal.
It was my first visit, but from the moment I entered the restaurant, I was struck by the wonderful atmosphere reminiscent of Eastern Europe. We chose the course menu, & every dish was exquisite, unlike anything I had ever tasted before. The beef stroganoff, in particular, was a taste I had never experienced before & was truly memorable. The service was attentive yet not intrusive, making for a very comfortable dining experience.
Owners are the most wonderful, kind & helpful people you will ever meet. Delicious upscale Eastern European & European cuisine! I ordered with DOORDASH during quarantine. I live in laval. The food arrived within 20 mins, extremely well packaged - no spills (unlike some other places I had delivered from), everything was warm & just SO GOOD. I got beef stroganoff, the meat was tender & so fresh - you would think we were dining out! 2 Borscht soups (tasty unlike any other), Vareniki (dumplings) with sour cherry filling (you may wanna get more of those! 😉) & vareniki (dumplings) with potatoe filling. The cake Medovik is literally the best one I've had! If I may say: UN VRAI RÉGAL! Ermitage knows how to create a fine dining experience RIGHT in the comfort of your own home! Will definitely be ordering again very soon. Very recommended!!! Please don't miss out on this unforgettable culinary experience 😊😊😊
