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.
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!
Le menu est super intéressant & le cachet du resto est parfait ! J'aime bien le fait que l'emplacement est un peu reculé & que de cette façon ça ne semble pas être un endroit trop achalandé. Le petit moins est que ça a pris un bon 30 minutes avant de pouvoir capter l'attention de la serveuse que nous avons dû aller chercher derrière le comptoir.

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! ☺️
The food was fantastic. The service was not good though. The wait time was quite a lot & we had to hunt down our server to get updates. We ordered twice & each time the food was delayed & took 40 minutes to arrive.
Was excited to have Russian & Georgian food again. However, this place was a bit of a disappointment. We arrived & were told that we needed to order quickly as they were having a private event at 930pm, which was lots of time since we arrived at 830pm. However, the server took forever & we were clearly forgotten. we were finally able to flag down someone & placed our order. The mushroom dumplings & the chicken adjika dumplings were good but only lukewarm. The tefteli meatball cheese boat / khachapuri was a fraction of the size of what you see in their Instagram posts with only 3 meatballs & the cheese was still hard & not fully melted. You can see in the video the egg is runny but the cheese is hard & it was difficult to dip the bread as instructed on their menu on how to eat! The donuts were also hard & not sweet enough as a dessert. It was all ok & tasty but because everything wasn't hot, it didn't seem fresh.
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:)))
