J'ai adoré ce petit resto sans prétention, mais qui offre véritablement de la bouffe maison, comme ma grand-mère faisait. C'est simple, mais délicieux, chaque bouchée est réconfortante, en étant toujours parfaitement équilibrée.
Seulement 2 personnes en cuisine, dont la propriétaire, qui prépare chaque repas un à la fois, frais à chaque fois. Cette même propriétaire est attentionnée, sympathique & généreuse. Je crois avoir véritablement trouvé un trésor caché à Montréal.
L'endroit n'a que 3 tables, est humblement décoré & c'est suffisant. On n'y va pas pour le décor, mais plutôt pour l'authenticité de la bouffe & des hôtes.
Merci encore pour ce merveilleux repas que j'ai dégusté!!! J'y reviendrai souvent :)
I really enjoyed discovering this place. The beef plov was delicious-the meat was tender, flavorful, & paired perfectly with the rice. The complimentary tea was also a nice touch.
The owners were very friendly & welcoming. We had a pleasant conversation about the cuisine & its origins. They explained that the menu is mainly inspired by Central Asian traditions, with influences from countries such as Uzbekistan & Tajikistan. It made the experience feel much more personal.
The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes & quality. On my next visit, I'd like to try the samsa, pelmeni, & mant?, as they all looked excellent in the display.
If you enjoy discovering authentic homemade food from this region, Kalabak is definitely worth a visit.
Amazing Ukrainian restaurant! The food was authentic, fresh, & full of flavor. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the service was excellent. One of the best Ukrainian dining experiences I've had. Highly recommended!
Thank you.

The plov rice here was absolutely incredible, easily one of the best rice dishes I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, rich, comforting, & unforgettable.
The'Hareng sous manteau' salad was also excellent. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & clearly made with care.
What made the experience even better was how welcoming & kind the staff were. You can really feel the warmth & passion behind this place.
On top of that, the prices are very affordable for the quality you get.
This place deserves much more attention. Highly recommended.
Every time I go to this place I cannot decide for myself what it is that I like most: their delicious & authentic food or unmatched hospitality of the people how work there. It feels like visiting your friends or family. This is how they make you feel. A huge THANK YOU!
Was an absolute pleasure! Brought my son, were greeted warmly by the two lovely ladies who run the resto (& treat you like family in the best sense possible). If like us you appreciate & seek out an authentic setting & meals lovingly prepared, fresh, delicious, a cultural immersion, Kalabok is a must-visit. We were so full we had to bring home dessert, & also a cabbage pastry, warmed up in the oven that was so delicious we regretted not buying more. Thank you for a truly memorable evening!
