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.
Wonderful little Ukrainian spot, the food is simple & delicious, staff is friendly, barelly speak any english, I love this, it's a' secret local spot' in my opinion & will become a lot more popular soon!
Absolutely the best place for homemade-style dumplings! The flavors were comforting, just like home. The service was top-notch-friendly, attentive & warm. Thank you for creating such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back🤗
This is one of the best Ukrainian restaurant I've visited, it's truly authentic & delicious! The warm welcome & calm ambience make the dining experience even better. Highly recommend!
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.

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)
