The fixed menu was fantastic especially for the price (which was very fair relative to other places in old Montreal). I don't have much experience with Polish food, but I thought the soup complemented the mains quite well, especially because most of the main dishes are very hearty/comfort food oriented. For dessert, I was impressed by the sweet cream though the apple cobbler wasn't that remarkable.

The restaurant has a great location, a very cozy atmosphere, & quality live piano which is not too loud or overbearing. Service was good as well, & I would definitely come back.

What a gem of a place. They speak English, French, & Polish. You can really feel like back home for a bit. Nothing is modified to suit other tastes. It's as genuine as your grandma's kitchen. I came to Montreal for a week & I ate there 3 times. I don't have any Polish places anywhere near my house, so...

Been coming to Stash Café for years & it never gets old, especially on a quiet Saturday afternoon when the lunch crowd thins out & you can actually hear the old Polish folk music they play softly in the background. Last weekend I had the bigos again, that slow-cooked hunter's stew, & it was exactly as hearty & comforting as I remembered it. The staff recognized me from previous visits & brought out a little extra bread without me even asking, which is the kind of small thing that keeps regulars coming back. If you have not been yet & you want a genuinely warm, no-fuss meal in the Old Port area, this is the place.

Polish menu with English subtitles. Lots of traditional polish dishes. Polish beer. Reservation is required otherwise talking a chance on seating. Was crowded when I ate there. On the expensive side. Located in Old Montreal. Small bar with seating.
