We’re a counter in Montréal’s Mile End neighborhood serving Ukrainian dumplings, also known as perogies or varenyky. We make our own dumplings from updated family recipes, mixing traditional, seasonal, and modern flavors. We hope that when you come visit Lili, it’ll feel like coming home. Smachnoho!

Perogie Lili comes across as a cozy, welcoming neighborhood gem offering homemade Ukrainian fare that feels comforting and authentic. The space is small and colorful with floral murals, creating a homey atmosphere, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. The menu features a wide range of pierogies, many vegetarian options, and hearty borscht, with fillings like potato and cheddar, caramelized onions, sour cream, cherry, cabbage, and wild mushrooms with bacon. Dishes are described as fresh to order, soft and flavorful, with dough that melts in the mouth. There is a sense of care in the experience, with good value, generous portions, and the option to dine in or take away, plus samples and helpful guidance from staff. A portion of proceeds supporting humanitarian relief in Ukraine adds meaning to the visit. Overall, it feels like a place to return to explore more flavors and to feel at home.
The perogies are 10/10 they have the best texture & favour with lots of flavour & topping options. They are fresh & homemade & you can really tell. The borsch is also really good.
Authentic Ukrainian perogies, the ultimate comfort food, melts right on your tongue. It is more of a food counter to grab a quick bite or to take it to go, limited seating but most people don't stay too long so there is a good rotation. Friendly staff & lovely story behind the creation of this place!
My daughters & I love this spot! We have tried all of the perogies & the borscht. The atmosphere is comforting & welcoming. Friendly service! Highly recommend!
Been meaning to try this place out since its right next to Kem coba! I visited on a rainy Friday & it's very cozy. The staff is so nice & the decorations are beautiful. There's not much seating but this is the perfect thing to get on the go & eat outside on a sun day.
I got the cheddar potato Perogie & they were so soft, warm, flavourful, & filling. I especially liked the topping of sour cream, dill, & caramelized onions.
A new must stop for me in this neighborhood! I want to try the vegan borsch next time! They have a great menu full of monthly new flavours & creations.

It's a cute little hole in the wall restaurant, which is amazing! From order until eating the perogies was a fantastic experience. The lady at the counter was really helpful, kind, & courteous. We had the puffy pie & the cheddar perogies. The food is delicious! Definitely coming back!
Perogie Lili (126 Av. Fairmount O, Montréal, QC H2T 2M5) - this is a nice little spot where you can dive into the taste of real Ukrainian cuisine & feel right at home! 🇺🇦
The menu isn't huge, but you can find all the main favorite dishes. It's very clean & beautiful inside, with a warm & cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. ✨
The staff is just wonderful, very pleasant & beautiful girls working there, always with a smile & ready to help. 😊
& their borscht is simply magnificent! Rich, aromatic, with a deep flavor. & the pierogies (varenyky) are incredibly delicious - you can tell everything is made by hand & with heart, following the best traditions. 😋 Every dish feels like it's warmed with care.
If you want to try real Ukrainian borscht & pierogies in Montreal, & experience a heartfelt warmth & hospitality, this is definitely the place for you! I recommend Perogie Lili with all my heart! 👍
Skip the line at the bagels & gnocchi & come to this fairmount gem instead. The cheddar potato perogies have the smoothest most delicious filling, almost like a puree at Montreal's best fine dining restaurant. 10 stars. Limited seating, but too good for that to matter.
Stopped by for lunch the other day. Upon entering, we were impressed by the cleanliness & delicious scents of something yummy being cooked in the kitchen. We were greeted by 2 very friendly & helpful ladies who explained the choices available. I had the meat filled & my sweetie had the potato cheese. Both came covered in caramelized onions & sour cream. Yumm. The fireweed tea is not to be overlooked, the perfect accompaniment. & it would be a shame to not try the sour cherry perogies, oh my!
It's definitely worth the trip & we are looking forward to another visit.
Rick & Anne.
Delicious perogies, using the family recipes of Grandma Lili, a Ukrainian who emigrated to Montreal in the 1950s. Well worth a visit if you are in Montreal! I had ones stuffed with cabbage & topped with wild mushrooms - terrific!

I visited Ukraine Restoran Perogie Lili with friends & was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere & the incredible quality of the food. It immediately reminded me of how my mom used to cook-the smell, the taste, everything felt so authentic.
The borsch was rich & flavorful, & the Carpathian tea added a perfect cozy touch. I tried the perogies with potato & cheese, & they were soft, perfectly cooked, & full of taste. I also tried the meat ones-absolutely delicious. The chef really knows what they're doing.
This place offers a true homemade Ukrainian taste. Easily the best I've had so far. Highly recommend!
What a great addition to the Mile End food scene! The potato perogies with onions, sour cream, & dill are absolutely fabulous. A true classic like mamma used to make!
& the sweet cheese perogies are equally delicious! 😋 Friendly staff & creative artwork round up this must go to place!
