Leopolis Resto Grill & Bar specializes in traditional Ukrainian cuisine fused with robust grill preparations. The menu features handcrafted varenyky dumplings served with sour cream alongside hearty borscht prepared with beets and fresh vegetables. Char-grilled meats take center stage with selections that highlight savory marinades and distinct flame-kissed flavors. Patrons find an environment centered on comfort and culinary heritage that prioritizes authentic ingredients and time-honored cooking techniques. The selection of dishes reflects a dedication to Central European flavors where pickled accompaniments and savory garnishes elevate every plated entree. This establishment delivers a direct and focused approach to satisfying appetites with substantial portions of familiar Slavic comfort food. The combination of smoky grill elements and classic Eastern European staples creates a distinct identity within the local culinary landscape.
Leopolis Resto Grill & Bar presents a frustrating experience for potential guests due to inconsistent operating hours and a confusing reservation policy. Visitors have reported arriving at the location only to find it closed, learning that service often depends entirely on whether a prior booking has been made. The lack of reliable information regarding business hours and the necessity of calling ahead to confirm availability makes planning a visit difficult for those unfamiliar with the establishment's unique requirements.
Food is far from traditional Ukrainian: borsch from the can,frozen varenyky of medium grade, tea for 5 $, beer 250ml 8$, uzvar -4$( though in the menu 3$), potato pancakes underdone & served with disgusting mushroom sauce instead of sour-cream mentioned in the menu...etc. Overall we spent more than 150 $ for 2 persons supper of 3 dishes & concert (30$ a ticket) , but at the end they charged us 62$ for taxes & service fees! You could have a full meal in other places for this price! Never coming back again, plus it's so far we had to drive through Laval to get there on time.
I've had a great & a not so great experience. We celebrated a birthday here & it was absolutely amazing. Food was great, really tasty, well presented. We were very impressed. & i would totally recomend. Now the less great experience was ordering this through uber eats. The prices are really expensive. 12$ for a tiny cup of Borscht. See picture. (Nespresso pod & chips bag for size comparison) 15$ for 3 cheese fritters (on the uber eats picture there's 4...) All to say, if this food matched the quality of what we had in the restaurant i would put 5 stars. But greasy cheese fritters (сирники). Borscht that has more potatoes then anything else. Was just disapointint. & i hope i was simply unlucky... but i wanted my boyfriend to try authentic ukrainian cuisine on a rainy day.

I usually avoid writing bad reviews but I would want people to avoid a similar situation. It was the longest I've ever waited for everything in the restaurant. We started off with drinks & food. It took us 40 minutes at least to get the drinks. A simple pint & a shot, mind you. There was a concert that day. So my friend nicely asked one of the servers if we could at least get something like our drinks because we've been waiting for 40 minutes & he replied asking if we came here for the restaurant or the concert in a confrontational way? Which didn't make sense because 1) the concert didn't even begin yet & 2) we are literally in a restaurant. Why would we expect to wait an hour for our drinks because a band will play soon? The place was not even half full & every single thing we had to wait for at least 30 minutes. It almost felt like a miracle getting anything because at that point I kept assuming they forgot us. So we asked for the bills & I was telling myself it's fine, whatever, just not gonna go back there, we ended up waiting another hour just for the bills. The restaurant was near empty, it seemed like they were closing up & still no one came to get our bills. We got up to try to get their attention & that's when they came with the bill & included themselves a 15% tip, because no way anyone would tip after waiting for what is literally a combined time of over 2 hours. No one seems apologetic or in a rush in any way. Hence the bad review. It just seems like they don't care.
Went with my boyfriend & they were very welcoming & conversed in English, French, & Ukrainian. The prices were fair & the hospitality was amazing. They were very passionate in representing the authentic taste of Ukraine while putting a gourmet spin on it. We had the taste of Ukraine dish & the holuptsi. It was a 10/10 & reminded me of my Ukrainian grandmother's cooking :) Slava Ukraini 💙💛
I had a delightful experience at Leopolis restaurant. Despite the bustling crowd, the service was remarkably swift. Witnessing a Ukrainian wedding celebration added a festive touch to the atmosphere. The "Taste of Ukraine" dish, featuring borscht & dumplings, was a culinary highlight. The steak & schnitzel with peasant-style potatoes were delicious, & the presentation of all dishes was impeccable. The restaurant's elegant design & impeccable cleanliness further enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommend Leopolis for a delightful dining experience that captures the essence of Ukrainian cuisine.
It's a great experience to dine at Leopolis! The food is delicious & the service is excellent! Nice environment for friends or family dining! Natalia est super! They make all kinds events often , we're super happy for event we went " the children's day " . À bientôt
Je fus étonné d'apprendre que tous les plats sont faits maison provenant de recettes familiales ukrainiennes. Tout simplement délicieux & servi dans une atmosphère sympathique & décontractée comme je les aime. Longue vie à Leopolis.
Check this place out! Great service, & the food is so fresh & delicious. Very tasty - a cuisine you can't find everywhere, & it's homemade. Would definitely recommend. We ordered dumplings, potato pancakes, cabbage rolls, borscht, & the potato balls with beef. We also had shots that looked like the flag. Enjoy!
