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.
Here to say that this is one of my top picks in Montréal !
The restaurant is sooo well priced considering the incredibly good food & the service (the alcohol is veeeeeery tasty too).
It was my first time trying Russian food & i'm really happy it was at this specific place ✨?
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.

Definitely a hidden gem. Food was spectacular from start to finish. Get yourself a cheese boat & mini Kamchatkas. & the honey cake also a sweet finish.
A little pricy for the portion size but all good ingredients & unique recipes make the experience worth it. They let me stay the whole shift from start to finish without bothering me. They were super polite & good humoured even after I brought up the high price point. To me that shows this is a good business. They really value their customers enough to not be dismissive or angry about criticism.
The place looks great & the service is very nice & polite - no complaints there. But the food was really disappointing. The plates are *very, very small*, & the taste is far from what it's supposed to be. Honestly, even Costco pelmeni taste better. Beautiful atmosphere, but the food definitely doesn't match the presentation.
Nice vibe, food was decent. Just extremely small portions, not worth the price, & slow service. Once again, not a horrible spot, but I just didn't find it worth it in my opinion.
Went early on a Friday night & they were missing a lot of items on the menu. The food was good, but the service was slow & they are charging the tip AFTER taxes, which is now illegal.
Tres belle exper?ence, la nourr?ture eta?t excellente, on a pr?s borscht, cheeseboat bacon & medovik, le service etait tres bon & rapide ! On a aussi pris shot de vodka avec cornichons
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.
