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.
Great time, very generous portions of fresh hand made authentic Russian foods. Had the tasting menu & it was 100% worth it, very honest pricing too. We had drinks, extras & it was less than 100$ per person. The host was charming & made us feel welcome, definitely recommend.
Simply put - top notch. Nicely decorated, welcoming atmosphere, delicious & good sized portions food, beautifully presented. Additional compliments for the overall service, Galina, many thanks to you! Will be back.
My family & I decided to have dinner here while on our vacation. Stepping into Ermitage feels like going home. The ambiance & decor created the perfect environment. The food was fresh & perfectly prepared. Each dish was carefully crafted. I highly recommend stopping by for a bite.

Best food in Montreal we had over the course of our five day visit!!! Salads, soups, meat, vegetables, cakes - everything was excellent!!! We shared the info on this gem with our friends who live in Montreal.
Merveilleux restaurant! Les serveuses sont très gentilles. Nous sommes allés manger à l'Ermitage pour l'anniversaire de mon père. Nous avions tous choisis la table d'hôte. Repas très copieux & délicieux. La nourriture est simplement parfaite.
