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!
Bon appétit!

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.
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.

Experience spontanée pour gouter pour la premiere fois des perogies. La dame qui nous a servie nous a tout expliqué & était très excitée de pouvoir nous faire découvrir cette cuisine !
Nous avons pris ceux patates+fromage, ceux saisonniers au choux & ceux signatures au cheesecake. Tous étaient très delicieux mais ceux au cheesecake etaient vraiment un standout. Elle nous a aussi offert généreusement leur vin chaud sans alcool qui etait aussi très bon.
Je recommande a 100% pour un petit repas réconfortant & simple !
What a lovely shop! From the exterior to the wallpaper pattern to the uniforms to the teeny tiny window that goes back to the kitchen to the artwork on the chalkboard menu- the sweetest!
The perogies are exceptional!
There are high counter seating around the perimeter of the restaurant but everyone orders at the front counter. This is a great stop for a snack/ lunch!

I went for lunch on a cold blustery day & the pierogis were just what we needed! They were delicious. The different fillings were so good & the service was lovely. My baba would approve😀
Incroyablement bon!!! Nous avons essayé presque tous les types de perogie (vareniki), patate, chou (kapusta), cérise (je conseille de les essayer avec la crème sûre!), fromage avec la sauce à la cérise, & bien sûr nous avons pris leur borsch totalement délicieux. L'ambiance est aussi sympa & la musique, agréable & pas trop forte.

Delicious, authentic ukranian food with beautiful & thoughtful decor! Highly recommend! Plenty of vegetarian & vegan friendly options, which is hard to find for ukranian cuisine!
À absolument visiter dans le Mile-End ! Les perogies sont simplement divins & fondent quasiment dans la bouche ! Je recommande les perogies patates + fromage & les kapusta :) Le borsch était pas mal, & le glühwein est un peu cher mais vaut vraiment la peine d'essayer. Le décor est très beau & il y a suffisamment de sièges pour accueillir les clients. Le service était superbe aussi, la demoiselle a pris le temps de m'expliquer le menu & m'a offert des recommandations. Bel endroit pour se réchauffer & se régaler !
Just came to grab a late lunch today before I heading to the airport & I'm so glad I did. These pierogies are absolutely phenomenal. I got the cheese & potato with sour cream, onions, dill, & bacon. 🤯🤤
The service was great! very friendly very warm very inviting & they convinced me that I had to try the borscht before I left & it did not disappoint. Great way to warm up a cold day.
On a mangé les meilleures pirogies ukrainiens chez LiLi. Plat vraiment délicieux & bien servi à votre choix : patates, chedder, cerises, etc. Ambiance douce & familiale. La décoration faite par des maîtres ukrainiens Fedir & Alexandra Kurkchi à voir absolument.
