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.

Authentic food & decorations which bring back memories about the home & childhood. Nowadays in most of restaurants a waitress brings you a plate with an attitude & expects 30% tip. Here you have a totally different experience of being welcomed as a special guest of the house by the hosts. The prices are a bit high but they do reflect the quality & taste of the dishes.
It was a very pleasant surprise discovering this gem in Montreal. The menu was written in three languages; French, English, & Russian. It brought back tastes of childhood growing up in the country. The decor was beautiful to admire during our visit. The bread served prior to the meal was deliciously hand made. The service added a very family welcoming feel adding to the taste of the food.
Possibly my best dining experience in Montreal. My partner & I decided to celebrate our anniversary here. Both being of Eastern European heritage, our standards are quite high when it comes to cuisine resembling our own - & I can honestly say that Ermitage blew us away. Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, & incredibly authentic! Moreover, every single thing they serve is made from scratch. Each course of the tasting menu was a delight, & the amount of food served was perfect. We chose different main meals, both of which were made with meat so tender that it melts in your mouth. I also can't overstate how pleasant & attentive the service was. I'm so glad that we decided to celebrate our special day here, & am very much looking forward to our next visit!
