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.
Delicious pierogi! Twarog (fromage sucre / dessert cheese) was my favorite, but everything tasted great. Very friendly & patient staff, ready to inform you about the different options, if you've never eaten ukrainian food before.
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.
My heart exploded entering this place. I'm Ukrainian-American & the varenyky tasted like home. We had cabbage & potato filled, with sour cream, caramelized onions, & dill. They also had white kvas!! I was surrounded by my language & music & folk art, great food but even better atmosphere.
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!

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!

Hidden gem spot in Mile end for authentic Ukrainian food, highly recommend! Try the freshly made borscht & varenyky (potato & cheese, cherry for dessert)
I may not be Ukrainian but as a Polish Canadian these perogies hit the spot. Had this restaurant come up on my Tiktok & knew I had to try & it definitely didn't disappoint. Incredibly authentic & reminded me of my own family dinners. The borsch was also delicious. I overheard they've only been only for about 5 months so I encourage everyone to come try it out. Plus a portion of your order goes to support humanitarian relief in Ukraine.
As someone with a Ukrainian background, I've eaten my fair share of pierogis, so I know good ones when I taste them. Unfortunately, the pierogis here were just average-not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The setup is very much takeaway-focused, with everything served in boxes & only wooden or cardboard utensils provided, which made the experience less enjoyable. There's also very little seating, so it's not the kind of place to sit down & savor your meal. If you're in a pinch & need a quick snack, it might do the trick, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
