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.
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.
Nous avons réservé une section du Nevski pour une fête avec le menu bouchées/cocktails pour une vingtaine de personnes. Excellent service & ambiance conviviale. La nourriture était excellente & en bonne quantité, parfait pour accompagner des Moscow Mules ;) Je recommande fortement le Nevski!
Really really good, flavourful food. The ambiance inside is dark & there are large tables that are perfect for groups. The cheeseboats are a must, as well as the dumplings.

Me & my partner were very excited to find a place that serves Khachapuri, it was very delicious as expected. We ordered 2 borscht , 2 khachapuri & a pitcher of mule. The mule was very good as well. The borscht was okay. We knew that since the location was in the old port it would be a little pricey but for 2 appetizers, 2 single portions of khachapuri & a pitcher of mule totalled 110$ before tip. The mule was expected price as cocktails in Montréal prices are on par, but 50$ for 2 soups & 2 khachapuri was a bit much, I also ordered the "saucy braised beef & pickle khachapuri" (18$) & it was more like beef bits sparsely covering the small cheese boat. It could have maybe came with a side portion of Russian salad or cabbage, since the size of the khachapuri is comparison to a large slice of pizza. Additionally we even decided to have dessert at home since the bill was already racked up. Unfortunately, We won't be going back.
Trendy atmosphere however surprisingly not packed for a Friday night. Our waiter was charming but forgetful, we did need to remind & correct him on a few of our orders. We ordered two different cheese boats, dumplings, salmon fish cakes & pirojki. The dough for the cheese boats & pirojki were like a soft pillowy cloud. All very small portions but delicious. That being said, I do believe this is really more of a bakery/home style cuisine & doesn't quite fit in a trendy atmosphere. To end the night we got the medovik slice of cake which was very different from anything i've ever tasted before! Our waiter did disappear at one point & we needed to ask two other waiters for our bill. Overall cute but wouldn't go back.
Une excellente découverte! J'ignorais la gastronomie russe & je dois dire que j'ai été épaté. Les plats étaient très goûteux & généreux! Les dumplings Veau & Champignons étaient tellement délicieux que nous avons commandés une deuxième portion en plus du Cheeseboat, bortsch, & les duos pirojki. Les deux cocktails auxquels nous avons goûtés étaient le Transiberiens ainsi que le St-Petersbourg Mule; ces derniers étaient sublimes! Nous y retournerons absolument 💯

Ordered takeout from here & was a bit disappointed as the portions were quite small. I got the meatball cheese boat & it was a bit too salty for my taste. The dough was well made though! Maybe will give it another shot & try dining in in person.
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 !
If you're looking to enjoy both (Eastern European dishes & the house's cocktails) The mules "their speciality", you need to give Nevski a try, Lowkey place, behind the Morgan's Stanley Building. The atmosphere is great for (5 à 7) date nights or friends or family. Music is never too loud.

We had a few hours in Montreal, out of which 4 hours spent at Nevski & it was worth it. Great atmosphere & music, cozy decorations, really nice staff & delicious food. But the signature feature of that place - cocktails.
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.
Passé une soirée un samedi, restaurant à moitié plein. L'ambiance est sympa, par contre le service est d'une lenteur abominable. Les plats ne sont pas arrivés en même temps, & les portions étaient vraiment petites. Les cocktails sont assez chers & peu chargés également. Même après que plusieurs se soient plains de la lenteur & du fait qu'a priori les portions soient plus petites qu'auparavant, aucun geste n'a été proposé. Bref, une fois mais pas deux :)
