Perogie Lili presents a cozy, welcoming spot with homemade Ukrainian fare that tastes like comfort. Pierogies are generously filled and richly flavored, with varieties including potato and cheddar, cabbage and potato, and cherry, often enjoyed with sour cream, dill, and caramelized onions. The borsch is hearty and flavorful, and the menu offers vegetarian options alongside meaty favorites, all at fair prices. The atmosphere is warm and homely, with friendly service and a charming vibe that makes it easy to linger or grab a quick bite to go.
Visited this Ukrainian perogies place for lunch. The server was welcoming & explained the menu well. I ordered a trio with borscht, salad, & six viande gourmande perogies with sour cream & onions, & they were kind enough to let me try a potato & cheddar one for free :)
The food was fresh, warm, full of flavour, & really comforting, with a homemade feel. There's enough space to sit & eat at the counter on stools. Overall, it's a cozy spot with nice music & friendly staff.
Excellent restaurant with good service & cozy atmosphere. Perogies & borsch were absolutely delicious. I tried potato, cabbage & sour cherry perogies & all were insane. I absolutely recommend.
i've been having such a hard time finding good perogie in the city & i used to work at a eastern european grocery store so the standards are highhh but these might just be some of the best i've had ever so comforting & hearty & the staff were so nice pls go out & support your locally owned restaurants !!!!!

Nice, cozy place with simple but well-done décor & friendly service. It was our first time trying perogies & they fully met expectations: soft, fresh, & very tasty. Good portions & fair prices for the quality. Definitely a spot worth coming back to try more flavours.
Second time ordering here & it truly is the best perogies you could ever have. The wild mushrooms & bacon combination is a 10/10, & it's worth the extra cost to get them fried. Friendly, great atmosphere, thank you :)
Not a fan. Perogies were very very mushy with a potato mash inside that was far too smooth, creamy, & oily. The onions were also sooooo soooo greasy! I felt sick after eating only a few
The borscht was good though. Could definitely use more flavour, but it's a pretty cozy soup.
I love this place so much! Best perogies I've ever had. They melt in your mouth. So satisfying & comforting without feeling heavy. I feel the love in them! A must try place for sure. So happy to discover this gem.

Absolutely loved both the food & the atmosphere! The perogies tasted just like the ones from my childhood - so comforting & authentic. The staff were friendly, attentive, & genuinely seemed to care about their customers. A wonderful experience overall - can't wait to come back to try other flavors!
By FAR my favorite place I ate while visiting Montreal! I can't recommend this place enough, definitely stop by for a bite.
The food was excellent, the staff was incredibly friendly. There's a lovely little patio to sit at outside the shop.
10/10 perogies. I ordered the patates/ cheddar, a portion of 6 perogies for $11.
The potatoes were smooth & creamy & the cheddar taste was sharp & perfect. I wish I could have taken them home with me!
I'm probably a little spoiled as my mom made some of the best perogies ever but I found them ok a little on the mushy side a little light on the cheddar but the toppings were excellent
J'ai appris l'existence de ces petits raviolis conçus depuis plusieurs siècles dans les maisons ukrainiennes & polonaises par l'entremise d'un article de La Presse : « Aider l'Ukraine un pierogi à la fois » où il est question Perogie Lili & de la remise de 2 % des revenus des ventes à leur pays d'origine. Donc, 35 cents provenant des deux plats que j'ai consommés avec A. [celui aux pommes de terre (7,50 $) & celui aux cerises (10 $)] iront directement en soutien de ce peuple en temps de crise. Pris individuellement, ça a l'air peu, mais ça représente un grand acte de charité des propriétaires, sachant que les marges de profits de ce milieu sont toujours infimes.
Quant à moi, je me suis rendu sur la rue Fairmount pas nécessairement pour faire « un bon geste », mais plutôt pour mettre à l'épreuve ce mets dont on vante l'onctuosité.
« Ils fondent en bouche » semble dire à peu près tout le monde.
Effectivement, la texture des pierogis classiques à la pomme de terre est très agréable : la dent ne rencontre aucune résistance alors qu'elle perce la coquille du ravioli. On les garnit volontiers de crème sure (« à l'Ukrainienne », m'a-t-on assuré derrière la caisse) & d'oignons caramélisés. Après quoi, on constate toutefois que les saveurs en elles-mêmes sont moins évocatrices par leur simplicité. Idem pour les pierogis à la cerise (que A. m'a signalés comme lui ayant plus davantage.)
Puisque les raviolis sont déjà prêts au moment de l'achat, les titulaires de l'établissement pourraient éventuellement songer à employer deux personnes pour assurer le service, & ce, dans le but de permettre un enchaînement plus rapide. Idéalement, on aurait payé & obtenu nos pierogis en moins d'une minute & on les dégusterait soit à l'intérieur où l'on peut admirer une grande peinture foisonnante de symboles de Kurkul Arts ou soit confortablement assis sur un banc avec des conditions météorologiques clémentes.
De plus, je me demande s'il serait opportun d'ajouter un peu de musique, traditionnelle ou autre, pour rendre l'ambiance encore plus accueillante.
En tout état de cause, c'est un beau projet qui ajoute à la diversité culinaire de cette rue réputée, c'est un projet qui mérite d'être encouragé.
