Very nice atmosphere, beautiful interior, kind & friendly staff, delicious food 100/10, affordable prices, exactly what I was looking for all 3 years of living in Montreal 🥰🤗
We have been coming to Montréal for years & today for the first time we tried Ermitage for lunch. It is truly a gem to be visited. The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing. You feel like you have walked into an Eastern Europe restaurant. The waitress was outstanding & the selection of food was amazing. We had th avocado stuffed with shrimp & the pork schnitzel. It was the best schnitzel I have had outside of Germany or Austria. I look forward to going back & trying some of the other dishes. I wish we had tried this restaurant years ago. We will eat out here once a week until we go home in October.
I'd rate 100/5 for service. Two lovely kind ladies made us feel like we're guests in their house. You won't be feeling you're at a restaurant, its just their house, their delicious food, & their lovely service & hospitality.
The restaurant has a warm & welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. It is a cozy Russian restaurant in Montreal that can accommodate around 30 to 40 guests, giving it an intimate & friendly feeling. The decor is unique & elegant, with golden mirrors, beautiful paintings, & many vintage decorative pieces that create a rich & memorable ambiance.
One of the most special things about this place is that the owners & waitresses have brought many personal family items & souvenirs to decorate the restaurant. These old pieces add charm, history, & authenticity to the space, making it feel more like a family home than just a restaurant.
The food is delicious, full of authentic flavors & prepared with great care. The waitresses, Gala & Nana, are incredibly kind, generous, & attentive. They truly take good care of their customers & make everyone feel appreciated & welcomed. The combination of excellent food, beautiful decor, & warm hospitality makes this restaurant a wonderful place to visit.
As a true gastronomy enthusiast, exploring different cuisines is one of my favorite hobbies, & Ermitage was a wonderful discovery.
