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.
Upon making a reservation for someone with reduced mobility & myself, I added a comment to put us at a regular table (no bar stool). I make this accessibility request for all our restaurant reservations. Restaurants usually acquiesce.
But Nevski went above & beyond. I received a call a few hours prior to our reservation to validate the accessibility need mentioned & any other we may have. They also volunteer information for the most accessible way in & accessible parking. Even going as far as offering that someone meet us on a street corner to guide & assist us.
Though in this case these measures were not necessary, I think it speaks volumes as to their accessibility policy & outstanding service.
Cute, kitschy fun with tastes of the old country done up in a modern style. The cheeseboat was what brought us here, & the braised beef with pickles option was delicious. Even better were the pelmeni, especially the veal & mushroom with their rich, earthy sauce. Sour cherry cocktails were the perfect accompaniment to the night.
Unique restaurant in Montreal. The food is always delicious & the staff is friendly. Great classics from Eastern Europe. Special mention to the varenikis, really excellent!
Super belle découverte comme lorsqu'on est en voyage…mais dans sa propre ville! Décor joli, original & chaleureux, service vraiment sympathique & professionnel, cocktails fabuleux. La vodka infusée est magnifique ❤?
We had a lovely time at Nevski. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, & loud. Tables were hard to come by when we went, & I don't usually like sitting at the bar, but this was a great place to do that. We had borsht, pirozhki, & a cheese boat, all of which were delicious, & we'd enthusiastically recommend them. The staff were fun & friendly, & we're an obviously LGBTQ+ couple, so that counted for extra with us.
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.
