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.
Food: the food here is amazing. This is the single best Russian/eastern European that I've ever been too. The food was amazing & the recommendations were all spot on. I usually eat meat medium, they encouraged me that the best way for my meal to be eaten (the medallions i belive) was rare & oh boy it did not disappoint, it was one of the best meals I've eaten. I am also a huge hater of zucchini & was not going to eat it when it came with my meal, I ended up trying it & it was cooked to perfection. I split the tasting menu (witc was for two people, costed $110, gave 4 appetizers a main meal each, dessert & a drink)& everything on it was made with love & delicious. Service: The people that work at the restaurant are the nicest workers I've seen. It's clear they care about each consumer & value a nice, peaceful environment. They gave helpful truthful suggestions about what to order, made jokes with my party of four throughout the dinner, & when leaving encouraged us to take a lot of tiny candies on the way out. The service from beginning to end was amazing. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is very homey & peaceful. Though the restaurant is small, I've never had any trouble with getting a table for four. If anything, the restaurant allows for a nice personal vibe. The lighting dimmed with the light outside, it was made up of warm candle & overhead lighting. The decorations in the restaurant & wallpaper also furthered the homey feeling, it felt like going to a grandparents house. :]

Une belle decouverte à côté de l'Oratoire Saint-Joseph. La nourriture était delicieuse, la decoration splendide & le service impeccable, les employés etaient attentifs à notre groupe & connaissaient bien le menu pour nous l'expliquer. Recommandation dessert: les fraises Romanov!
We celebrated a birthday here, & it turned out to be the owner's birthday too - what a fun coincidence! The whole experience felt so personal & lively. Birthday cake & songs made everything feel extra festive. The decor is super interesting & gives the place a lot of character, & the food was genuinely delicious. It's one of those places that feels really warm & inviting. Honestly, if you're looking for a cozy spot with a lot of heart, this place is perfect.
Un bijou culinaire! Quelle belle expérience exceptionnelle que nous avons eue. Les plats étaient tout simplement divins & délicieux! Le service était irréprochable : attentif, chaleureux & toujours avec le sourire.

Excellent restaurant russe. Tout est parfait. La salle est jolie. Le service vous met direct dans l'ambiance russe. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation est nous n'avons pas été déçu! Boeuf strogonof est délicieux. À recommander!
j'y ai invité toute ma famille pour un dîner retrouvaille, nous etions neuf & avons tous pris le menu degustation nous avons passé un tres beau moment tous ensemble, l'ambiance & le gentil service etait parfait, & le fait qu'il y a dans ce menu 7 servives ( je peux me tromper sur le nombre) fait que justement, pour une reunion de famille nous avons pu passer un bon 3 heures ensemble a nous retrouver. & pendant ce temps on s'est bien occupé de nous sans nous pousser vers la porte. bien au contraire apres les entrees, & rendu au trou normand, plusieurs etaient inquiets si ils seraient capables de manger le plat principal. Pas d'inquietude! c'est tellement bon, qu'il n'est rien resté, meme pas le dessert au total le menu degustation demande un budget mais on en a vraiment pour notre argent, le prix est plus queraisonable , je recommande cette experience. tout le monde a hate que je les invite a nouveau & ça arrivera,

We went here for my dad's 78th birthday - I wanted to give him a taste of home & it did not disappoint! Amazing food, service & decor. You could taste the care they put in the dishes they serve & I really appreciated the warm service we received. Good pricing too. We will be back! Спасибо 🤍
