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.
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:)))

I had a mixed experience. The food was delicious & the prices were reasonable, but the service was disappointing. Our server seemed overwhelmed & it took a long time to place our orders, receive our food, & get the check. The wait was excessive & it felt like we were neglected for parts of the meal. While the food was tasty & the prices were fair, the slow & inattentive service detracted from our overall experience. With some improvements in service, this restaurant could be a great option, but for now, I would caution others to be prepared for a wait.
A colleague from Russia strongly recommended me to come to Nevski, as the cuisine & ambiance are authentic Russian. I really enjoyed the cheeseboat (spinach & peppers), borscht, & multi-layered cake. The waiters were very attentive & most helpful in guiding me as to the best dishes to sample. The mule (with ginger beer & mint) was so refreshing! I look forward to returning soon!
The atmosphere is great, stuff is really lovely. The only thing is that it's not traditional Eastern Eu cuisine, it's with Canadian vibe. But it was good tho, not expensive. Would come here again for sure, cocktails are amazing. 😊
