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.
This restaurant is such a gem! Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here tonight & the staff went above & beyond to make it special. The menu is very reasonable & the food was great! Highly recommend!!
Friends, I just discovered an incredible Eastern European restaurant in downtown Montreal! I went there for lunch today, & I have to say - I'm truly impressed! The borscht was a standout: rich, hearty, & bursting with flavor. The presentation was on point, making it feel like a special experience from the very first bite. The interior is warm & inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that feels like you're stepping into someone's home. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, & enjoy a meal that's made with care. The location is super convenient, & what really added to the experience was the owner, Galina. She's so welcoming & friendly, making sure everyone feels right at home. If you're curious about authentic Russian & Ukrainian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't find anything better in Montreal! I highly recommend it - perfect for anyone who loves good food with a homey touch. Let me know if you want to go there together sometime! 😊
this is the very case when all your expectations coincide with reality & what's more, reality is even nicer:) I am very glad that I came to dine here, the cuisine is excellent, in the best traditions, very tasty. The interior is a classic Russian restaurant, with a pleasant view. The service is perfect, it was as if I came to visit old friends. You broke all records, we will come & thank you for being there 🙏❤️

Celebrated a meaningful birthday on a Saturday night with family & friends. We pre-ordered the place at full capacity. We coordinated the menu servings & the seating plan in advance with the owners who are the chef & his wife (who is the chief waitress). They were extremely welcoming & cooperative throughout the whole process. On the evening of the event the restaurant's staff greeted our guests & guided them to their places around the tables according to a seating plan that we shared with the owners several days earlier. The serving was extremely efficient & pleasant without disturbance to the celebration, the staff were even going out of their way helping & adding to the atmosphere at some points. The food itself was fantastic both in serving style & quality, everyone getting exactly what they asked for & without delays. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the food, the taste & the quantities being served. Oh, & the restaurant is extremely tastefully decorated, very clean - including the toilets, & an extremely clean, highest-quality baby seat. Everything to the last detail. A wonderful experience, could not have expected a better one!
Closed for a private party & offered us all the menus, not just a small group menu. Servers were incredible, funny, kind & attentive. Tasting menu was insanely good, with beautiful presentation, & fresh flavors. Their homemade butter is the best I have EVER had! Would def go back!
Extraordinaire je recommande vivement Un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal à des prix très corrects Une fraîcheur absolue Un accueil chaleureux Nous reviendrons
