Review Summary

Stash Café stands out for authentic Polish comfort food served in a warm, intimate Old Montreal setting, with generous portions of pierogies, kielbasa, barszcz, zurek and other classics, complemented by a live piano performance and a solid cocktail menu. While most reviews praise the welcoming staff, cozy decor, and homey vibes that feel like a hug, some note slow or busy service and occasional long waits, especially on weekends, but the meals are widely described as delicious, satisfying, and reasonably priced. Reservations are recommended on busy nights, and many diners leave feeling they discovered a special, comforting dining experience that still delivers on flavor and authenticity.

Some of the best food I've ever had in my life! Generous portions, & short wait time. The waiters were nice, & the piano was a nice addition. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend the Stash Café.

Legit polish food in the middle of Montreal. My wife's family is Polish. We've had lots of opportunities to enjoy polish cuisine. Stash Cafe's offerings held their own against the family recipes we were accustomed to. Really good, genuine Polish food.

Our favorite Polish restaurant on either side of the border. We discovered this delicious place on an anniversary trip in 2016 to see Patrick Watson in concert. Have been talking about Stash Cafe food since. Finally returned this weekend for my birthday dinner. Love, love, love the food & atmosphere. I highly recommend anything on the menu, but especially the mushroom pierogi. We also enjoyed the live piano music in the background.

Not reserving a table ahead of time on the day of the eclipse was definitely a mistake on my end but from the moment I walked in, Kacper truly went above & beyond to make sure my husband & I had a great meal & a memorable final night in Montreal. I do not have enough great things to say about Kacper & the service at stash cafe. We can't wait to visit Montreal again & come back to eat here.

Stash Café est un lieu désuet en mal d'une rénovation. Les bancs d'église rappellent une époque révolue quand la révolution tranquille au Québec visait la destruction de la religion. L'atmosphère du café est triste & moribonde. Les mets sont préparés d'une façon trop rapide, ils sont médiocres. Rien à voir avec les pierogis de ma défunte mère. Ou le bigos que je suis capable de préparer moi-même. Le Zurek était fade & la saucisse coupée en petits morceaux était très loin de satisfaire. Le plat de soupe comme le reste contenait des ingrédients passés de date. Voir les champignons de Paris du bigos, gris & peu appétissants. Le service était bon & la jeune serveuse contrastait avec les vieux plats & l'endroit caverneux. Finalement la bière polonaise Zywiec avait un mauvais arrière goût. On a le droit de s'attendre à beaucoup mieux de la part de la cuisine polonaise.

Absolutely fabulous. While perusing the menu posted outside, my wife, who does not share my Polish heritge, remarked, "There's nothing that appeals to me..." I persuaded her to indulge me. The next evening, I asked her where she wanted to dine. She replied, "Let's go back to Stash Cafe." Bigos & the herring in cream sauce were exquisite!

Came here for a coffee & pastry. Service was quick, efficient & very welcoming. Café is located in the old Montreal & very cozy.
