Small, atmospheric restaurant with good food & kind, informed servers! We were there early in the evening on a Friday (5-7) & it was nice & quiet. They also have lots of drinks & some mocktails.
Highly recommend the Zakuski Extravaganza if you want to try a bunch of food without the pressure of decision making :) everything we had was delicious (lots of cheese so bring your lactaid pills if you need haha)!
Découvert par hasard, nous avons apprécié l'endroit mais n'avons pas été transcendés par les saveurs.
L'ensemble de ce que nous avions choisi était bon, mais nous n'avons pas eu cet effet « wouaou ». Qui plus est le rapport prix/quantité était très élevé selon nous.
À tester pour l'ambiance jazz avec les musiciens, mais pas un incontournable niveau culinaire.
The food is EXCELLENT: very flavourful & many options. The vibe of the restaurant is unique & the service was great :) My only complaint is that the portion sizes are a bit small for the cost & the restaurant is a bit difficult to locate from google maps.
An heartfelt thank you to the crew of the Nevski! An outstanding team of creative, hardworking, efficient & unbelievably welcoming people! Thank you for making this a memorable experience of Montreal!! Cheers to you! & look forward to visiting in the future!
My first time trying authentic Russian & Georgian cuisine, & it was such a fun experience! While the dishes weren't mind-blowing, the food was well-crafted, fascinating to try, & very satisfying. To top it off, the staff were super friendly & welcoming!
The food is incredible. Everything is extremely delicious & the atmosphere is really nice. The service is extremely slow so I suggest reading the menu before going & making sure you order enough food initially.
Première expérience a ce resto, première expérience avec la cuisine Russe, & vraiment ravis, les plats étais tous succulent, le service impeccable, les prix plus que raisonnable, belle ambiance, je recommande vraiment.
Delivery: bacon & smoked sausage cheeseboat was amazing, love the stuffed crust. The Siberian Pelmeni dumplings were well seasoned. The poutine stroganoff would have been perfect if the fries were crispier, maybe a little more meat. The donuts were good. Service was good but could have been bette
