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.
Really fun place for a night out with friends. Great organic wine; awesome dumplings & dessert (we had the honey cake); very attentive & professional service. Decor is very fun, too.
More of a cocktail bar than a place for food. Portions are SUPER small. Also drinks are super pricey for what is served. Large ice cubes kinda place if you catch my drift.... It's a fun place to hang out but it's way over priced
Great place for a New Year celebrations. The menu was great, but the place felt a bit tight on space. There was a delay in service, but it is understandable as it was packed.

This Russian restaurant/bar in Old Port offers delicious cuisine at reasonable prices, although the portions are a tad small. The staff's warmth shines through, as they generously offered us complimentary shots. The captivating decor seamlessly blends Russian & Soviet styles, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience - a solid 5/5.

J'ai adoré mon expérience dans ce restaurant où les serveurs sont très sympathiques & parlent français, anglais & russe. Les plats étaient délicieux, une adresse à retenir !
Nothing outstanding (very basic Russian cuisine - nothing wow) & very little quantity for the high price tag, So it's definitely not worth going here more than one time. But service & atmosphere were really top notch!

I was wandering around & had no expectations when entering Nevski the other night, what a surprise! The staff are passionate & super caring for their customers, they really want to share their knowledge on Eastern European food & vodka! The small restaurant is a hidden gem & is worth every penny, the quality of the food is incredible considering the price you pay. I will definitely go back thanks to Darek (I think that's how you pronounce his name) & his crew!
I went there with my bf in july (2023). We were very disappointed. I don't plan to go back there & I don't recommand it even for drinks unless you want to pay 15$ for sugary water. I paid 15$ for a drink (Cocktail) which was basically a glass full of ice & then they put liquid in it to fill what's left (not much). Even without letting the ice melt, it tasted like it was alrealy too diulated. As for the food, we took 3 dishes of pelmini (dumplings). I did recognize the pelmini as the same frozen one that you can buy at any eastern european grocery stores. So, I wasn't happy to see that I was served with frozen pelmini with probably a sauce that was from a can, & some green onion to make it look fresh.
love this place, everything about it! Being Russian this is a place that truly shows off the best of the best of Soviet cuisine, but with a modern twist. The vybe, the art, music, even the location all is perfect. I’ve dreamt about a place like this appearing in Montreal. This location is way better than the previous one downtown, more intimate I’d say. It’s good for a date, girls night out, 5 a 7… you name it! Also beyond the food, in my humble opinion they have the best cocktails in Montreal. Thanks to Misha & the rest of the staff for the great service. Cannot wait to be back !
Beautifully decorated. Great vibe. The borscht was delicious! A lot of the non meat dishes had fresh dill. Such a refreshing taste but almost on all our dishes. Wish they had different sauces or spices. But then we thought...hmmm maybe the fresh sour cream & dill is their main sauce, just like Vietnamese food & their fish sauce!
But I will definitely eat this again.
