Food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced for the quality, though some notes mention small portions, occasional menu gaps, or slow service, and a few mention higher prices for the portion size. Overall, Nevski is seen as a unique Montreal option with repeat visits suggested.
C'était notre première fois dans un restaurant de cuisine de l'Europe de l'Est & nous avons trouvé cela délicieux !
De plus, notre serveur était agréable & la déco très belle.
Seul petit bémol, la musique très forte à 19h mais qui a été un peu baissé il me semble.
Really delicious food, & drinks! Great atmosphere & friendly service. However, it took a while for the food to come out (30 minutes each time) & a bit expensive for the portion size.

Notre soirée chez Nevski a commencé très bien mais elle s'est terminée avec une déception au niveau de service. Lorsque le restaurant s'est rempli, nous avons été complètement délaissé par notre serveur. Non seulement a-t-il apparement oublié notre dernière commande, il n'est pas revenu pour nous voir pendant plus de 30 minutes. Nous n'avions plus rien à boire ni à manger pendant ce temps-là. Nous avons dû interpeller une autre serveuse pour faire un rappel concernant notre dernière commande qui a finalement été servie 20 minutes plus tard. De plus, le serveur ne parlait pas le français. Notre groupe a été servi en russe & en anglais.
La nourriture était bonne, mais on a trouvé les portions trop petites par rapport au prix.
J'avais déjà passé de belles soirées chez Nevski dans les dernières années mais je ne pense plus y revenir.
This was hands down one of my favorite places that I've eaten at on my trip in Montreal! The food was EXCELLENT & the atmosphere was amazing! I highly recommend the bacon & sausage cheeseboat. Our server was also very sweet. The cocktails & mocktails were delicious
This is such a cool little spot! The food is unique & diverse with deep, subtle flavors. The cocktail list is fun & creative, & our server was so nice. The vibes are super chill, it would definitely make a great date spot.

Loved the place, music & service. We found them online & decided to hive it a try & did not regret our decision even for a minute during our Saturday evening on 21-Mar-2006.
Misha made us feel welcomed & helped us out with choosing our drinks & food. 5 stars to him & for excellent & welcoming service.
Thank you. We will be back on our next trip from Toronto.
Upon making a reservation for someone with reduced mobility & myself, I added a comment to put us at a regular table (no bar stool). I make this accessibility request for all our restaurant reservations. Restaurants usually acquiesce.
But Nevski went above & beyond. I received a call a few hours prior to our reservation to validate the accessibility need mentioned & any other we may have. They also volunteer information for the most accessible way in & accessible parking. Even going as far as offering that someone meet us on a street corner to guide & assist us.
Though in this case these measures were not necessary, I think it speaks volumes as to their accessibility policy & outstanding service.

Cute, kitschy fun with tastes of the old country done up in a modern style. The cheeseboat was what brought us here, & the braised beef with pickles option was delicious. Even better were the pelmeni, especially the veal & mushroom with their rich, earthy sauce. Sour cherry cocktails were the perfect accompaniment to the night.
Unique restaurant in Montreal. The food is always delicious & the staff is friendly. Great classics from Eastern Europe. Special mention to the varenikis, really excellent!
Super belle découverte comme lorsqu'on est en voyage…mais dans sa propre ville! Décor joli, original & chaleureux, service vraiment sympathique & professionnel, cocktails fabuleux. La vodka infusée est magnifique ❤?
We had a lovely time at Nevski. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, & loud. Tables were hard to come by when we went, & I don't usually like sitting at the bar, but this was a great place to do that. We had borsht, pirozhki, & a cheese boat, all of which were delicious, & we'd enthusiastically recommend them. The staff were fun & friendly, & we're an obviously LGBTQ+ couple, so that counted for extra with us.
