Stash Café

It was our first night in Montreal & out of all the restaurants in the city, we chose Stash Cafe to start our journey. When we walked in, we immediately loved the atmosphere with the red lights & a piano playing. We had reservations & arrived right on time. We were told that our table wasn't ready, even though there were empty tables for two. We were then sat at a table for four & did not realize they would later seat two more people at our table. Very odd. Here's where it went downhill. The waiter came over - didn't introduce himself or say hello & basically asked us what we wanted. Hubbie ordered a beer which came out in a reasonable time. I asked for ice which I never received. Our meal started with soup, & we were quite hungry after a full day of traveling. We waited & waited for the soup while watching all the other tables around us get their full meals. After 30 minutes they sat the other two people at our'communal' table. Luckily, they were lovely & we enjoyed their company. After 45 minutes-- the other couple's order had been taken, & no one had checked on us or offered more drinks literally. We walked up to a waiter & said we had been waiting a long time. He just basically barked at me & said it was coming. After an hour, the other couple at the table who were seated at our table 30 minutes after us got their food! & we still had nothing not even soup. We again walked up to a different waiter who now realized we had been forgotten & worked on getting out the food. He did mumble something about the bus boy made a mistake. So our waiter was the bus boy? But when we did finally get our food, it was all stone cold. Had it been sitting there for an hour? They did try to make it right at the end, but honestly there is no recovery from the way we were treated. We have been to restaurants all over the world & this was up there with one of the worst overall experiences. Looking forward to a better experience at a different restaurant next time. The best part of the meal turned out the best the wonderful locals seated next to us.

It's about as authentic as it gets. Located in historic location in old Montreal. Perogies fork tender & delicate. Beef & mushrooms crepes were amazing. Portion & pricing are very reasonable. Didn't have any drinks but couple of polish beers available. Food not heavy at all

Une succulente cuisine polonaise dans une ambiance musicale exclusive. Un pianiste accompagne votre dîner.
Il est préférable de réserver votre table.
