Great food, great drinks, great people. It's an ideal introduction to Eastern European flavors, served by a warm & attentive team. Their cocktail menu is a rotating showcase of creative recipes, & the occasional live jazz nights elevate an already wonderful atmosphere into something memorable.

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.

Amazing cocktail bar with a russian vibe in Old Port Montréal. They make great classic martinis & mules. Ruslan, our bartender, was very insightful about the cocktails stories & folklore. Blinis, dumplings & zuski for a great cocktail & food pairing. Fun for staff party & friend gatherings.

Probably the best & possibly only place to find Adjaruli Khachapuri in Montreal that I've found. It's the Georgian cheese bread in the boat shape. Definitely modified with extra ingredients & more pizza-like but still delicious!

Olivier salad was good. Pelmeni also good. Love those dishes.

A bit of an'elevated' &'trendy' place, so the price point matches it too, even though these foods originated from a simpler (inexpensive) place.

Lovely staff. Good cocktail menu.
Great option for dinner. Will keep coming back.
