Reviews describe Nevski as a lively and welcoming spot for Russian and Eastern European flavors, with a cute, kitschy decor and a vibrant atmosphere that can feel loud in a good way. The menu highlights signature items like a cheese boat, pelmeni, borscht, pirozhki and varenikis, along with strong cocktails and a notable vodka infusion selection, while guests praise friendly, attentive staff and an active accessibility policy that includes advance calls and help with directions. 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.
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.

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
