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.

Je n'ai que du positif à partager sur ce superbe restaurant. Nous étions deux, & on a pris le repas de dégustation (pour 2)
Les quantités sont abondantes, & tout goûte le frais. Le service a été chaleureux & l'ambiance était parfaite.
Je recommande chaudement cette expérience -Russe- ça vaut le détour.
Merci
What a beautiful little gem of a restaurant! The atmosphere, the food (we tried the tasting menu), & the incredibly friendly & lovely owner made our experience one that we will not soon forget! I highly recommend the Hermitage Restaurant!
This place is truly a unique gem in an otherwise nondescript neighborhood. The traditional interior is wonderful & the food is simply fantastic. The staff were also very helpful & polite. Looking forward to going back.
Je vous recommande fortement ce restaurant de cuisine traditionnelle russe. J'ai eu la chance de manger un bon repas avec des amis à l'occasion d'un mariage. Le service était impeccable & la nourriture excellente. Je vais certainement y retourner un jour! Prenez le temps de saluer Oleg qui est un chef hors pair! Un secret dans le quartier Côte-des-Neiges à découvrir absolument!
Superbe restaurant, le menu dégustation était délicieux, service rapide & attentionné, ambiance calme, la musique n'est pas trop forte. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
Amazing lil place for a delicious eastern European treat. Devoted chef & owner will please your pallet with his classic creations. Menu offers great discoveries for anyone wanting to explore new flavors. Service is beyond professional, appropriate wine selection & other alcohols. A must try for the home made desserts.
This is probably the best culinary experience I've had in Montreal in a long time. Excellent service. Amazing food. Best beef stroganoff I have ever had.
