Charming service in a gorgeous Old Town building. Classic polish dishes. Get some soup & pirogies for a light lunch.

I was so impressed with this restaurant during a visit on a Friday for lunch (only day M-F that they serve lunch). I had visited Poland earlier this year & really enjoyed the pierogis & other items. This cozy restaurant was so true to Polish cuisine that I'll return in March when I visit Montreal next. I overdid it in order to try pierogis (they have a mixed platter of 4 total with each filling represented), golubki (stuffed cabbage), dessert, an excellent rioja, & finally a shot of vodka. The pianist was a fantastic touch for lunch. Don't let my spend scare you. I had everything & 3 glasses of wine. You could probably get out for less per person.

Between two people we ordered a rye soup, pierogi plate, kielbasa, plus a peach cobbler for dessert. All were excellent though the cobbler was the most memorable!
It was a well-rounded, tasty meal that was surprisingly light. The ambiance is well thought out too; it's dark inside & lit by red lampshades. Will go back again!

L'atmosphère est chaleureuse. Le menu comporte une sélection de mets traditionnels qui semblent authentiques. La table d'hôte est une bonne façon de découvrir le menu & reste abordable. Le repas est rassasiant.

This is a busy restaurant but they do take reservations. I would recommend that you make one. Delish food, amazing atmosphere, the wait for food was not long. However, our server never once asked if we wanted another drink & did not refill our water. Otherwise an excellent experience.

Perfect amount of fancy - exceptional place to have the best polish food in town without breaking the bank. Live music is a pure cherry on top 🍒

We arrived at 1:10 PM for lunch & were seated at 1:30 PM, which is not really a problem. However, unfortunately, we received the bill at 5 PM.
In more detail, an hour went by after our order was taken before our appetizers arrived, another hour for our mains, & another hour for dessert. The food was delicious but needing to wait nearly 4 hours for lunch (all the food was ordered promptly by 1:30 PM) is insanity.
For the prices being charged, the slowness of the service was unacceptable. The waiters were polite & largely this is the fault of the kitchen. Some kind of comping given the circumstances would have been appreciated, but hey...

Definitely add this to your list. The ambience was quite cozy & romantic. They had a pianist playing music & it was a the right level. We tried the mixed perogis, crepe, & the potato pancake. The food was absolutely delicious & we will definitely be coming back.

I had an enjoyable time at Stash Cafe, I deduct a star for a few minor inconveniences.
We had specifically booked for after 7 for the live piano. Unfortunately, not much of it was heard as it's by the door & no mic present to amplify throughout the restaurant.
As you can see there is maybe 20cm of space between the tables. I could barely hear my wife across from me with the older gentleman on my side screaming over to his wife, let alone the piano.
The cabbage rolls were very nice. The goulash was okay, I will say the Mrs makes an amazing one so hard to be blown away when we go out.
We have asked for tequila to be substituted for vodka in a cocktail, was happy it was not a problem. Not so happy when the bill came with an extra $4 charge for this change. I don't care for $4, but I would've liked to know ahead.
Overall it was a pleasant experience, not mind blowing.
