Nevski is described as a unique spot in Montreal offering authentic Eastern European and Russian inspired dishes such as borscht, pelmeni, varenikis, pirozhki and a memorable cheese boat, with cocktails and vodka infusions earning particular praise. Service is consistently noted as friendly, welcoming, and professional, contributing to a warm, atmospheric dining experience. Many reviewers highlight strong value for the quality, with generous drinks and reasonably priced menu items, though some critique small portions and occasional higher prices. Occasionally items are missing from the menu, and service can be slow on busy nights, with seating at times tight, especially near the bar. The ambiance is described as stylish, cozy and with a distinctive Russian vibe, including decor and live music at times, making it a memorable backdrop. Overall the reviews position Nevski as a top pick and a hidden gem in Montreal, recommended for those seeking unique flavors and a vibrant, convivial atmosphere.
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.
One of my favourite bars in the city! The food is amazing & the drinks are just as good. Prices are very reasonable for what you get, & the portions, especially the drinks, are super generous. The staff is always friendly & welcoming, & the bar itself is beautifully & tastefully decorated. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

The food is authentic Russian 🪆 food & the service is great. Most of the staff actually speak Russian & are super nice 👍🙂. I would recommend to check their social media feed & go for a special event. We were there for'Maslinitsa' which is a special holiday & they serve delicious 🤤 crapes 🥞 🍯 I don't usually even like sweets but it was delicious. We also had the borscht which was ok, the pelmeni 🥟 with 🍄 were delicious & the drinks 🍻🍷 🍸 were very original as well. Over all great experience well worth checking out. Only negative is that we were seating all the way in the back & it was super hot in the winter ❄?☃? time as I guess people near the entrance must feel a breese. The live music was absolutely great. 🎶 🎷. *The entrance is not easy to find it's actually on the little side street between King 👑 & Queen streets.
My partner's cousin brought him & I here - it did not disappoint! From the minute you walk in you are greeted with the smell of delicious food & a trendy & welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely phenomenal - shared a cheese boat, salmon blini, cucumber salad, some khinkali, & the veal & mushroom pelmeni. To drink - try the Don nevski or the St. Petersburg (why not both?). For dessert we had the freshly made cinnamon sugar donuts. 10/10 recommend & my partner & I will be bringing all our friends here!
Such a fantastic bar! The drinks & food are absolutely amazing, fresh & flavorful. I'll definitely be back! Thank you, Ruslan, for preparing our drinks! They were fantastic! ☺️

Just amazing. Stopped in on a whim & were blown away by how great the food was! We were looking for a casual place with delicious food at an affordable price, with outdoor seating (we had our 3 year old with us). It scored on all counts. Perfect casual environment outside & amazing food, drinks & service. We got the veal dumplings, the chicken dumplings & the spinach & cheese cheeseboat. The cheeseboat was good but the dumplings were so delicious I'd just order more of those instead next time. We were talking about them the rest of the night, & wish we had another night in Montreal so we could go back! Also - try the Sasha shots!
I came here for the first time yesterday & it was great. The service was on point, staff were friendly & the food & drinks were really good. Definitely coming back:)))
I came here recently & it was a very surprising location as it is not on a very well walked path in the city. But I'm glad I came here. The atmosphere is fantastic with dimly lit & somewhat more ambient lighting & excellent artistic pieces on the wall. The service was great & had a great variety of traditional foods & drinks. The prices were fairly comparable to other places in the city with no real drink or food specials mentioned. But the quality of the food & drinks were in my opinion. Very good. Our server was really attentive & helpful & I really enjoyed my experience there & would go back again.
Quelle belle découverte que cet endroit ! Ambiance parfaite pour une soirée en amoureux. La nourriture est délicate & délicieuse. Les drinks très bons! Je recommande fortement !

Really worth going for kachapurri especially the spinach & special cheese one, drinks are great a bit pricy but not unexpected. The medovik dessert is a must order.
More of a cocktail bar than a place for food. Portions are SUPER small. Also drinks are super pricey for what is served. Large ice cubes kinda place if you catch my drift.... It's a fun place to hang out but it's way over priced
I went there with my bf in july (2023). We were very disappointed. I don't plan to go back there & I don't recommand it even for drinks unless you want to pay 15$ for sugary water. I paid 15$ for a drink (Cocktail) which was basically a glass full of ice & then they put liquid in it to fill what's left (not much). Even without letting the ice melt, it tasted like it was alrealy too diulated. As for the food, we took 3 dishes of pelmini (dumplings). I did recognize the pelmini as the same frozen one that you can buy at any eastern european grocery stores. So, I wasn't happy to see that I was served with frozen pelmini with probably a sauce that was from a can, & some green onion to make it look fresh.
