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.
An old favorite Old Montreal restaurant of mine back in the day is still there & apparently as popular as ever - full house for lunch on Friday December 29. Quick & friendly service, reasonable prices & great, varied & genuine Polish fare. & the decor is super cozy, esconsed in a 1800s building with thick stone walls & wood beams. Highly Recommend.
What a lovely restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. I love the live music & the decoration. They have amazing beers & tasty cocktails to choose. Their Polish food is very delicious. Not 100% authentic but still very delicious. I highly recommend!

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!
Great place. Our roots are polish. We absolutely loved that we were able to talk in polish with the server. Dishes are authentic & definitely tasted like from my childhood. Thank you for the amazing experience, Stash!
So, so good. If you love Polish food, or really just food, come here. There was a wonderful musician playing Nirvana & 90s Pop hits on the piano while we ate really good food in a wonderful atmosphere under red lights with great service & strong cocktails. An absolutely must in Montreal. Will be back!
Wonderful polish restaurant in the Old Port area of Montreal. Food was authentic, just like babcia would make it! Service was extremely friendly & attentive. A must if you're visiting the area.

This is the closer you can get to authentic Polish food, it brings back good memories from that beautiful country & their traditional dishes. Portions & prices are more than honest for the quality you get. We had the chance to listen to the live piano set while eating dinner, great atmosphere! Don't forget to get a few vodka shots between courses: Na Zdrowie!
Definitely a welcome surprise to find such good polish food in this part of Montréal! So glad we meandered in for a late lunch. Pierogi & kielbasa were very good!
Loved it. Such great authentic polish food. The place filled within 30 min of opening & with 2 servers on they handled it quite well. I’d definitely recommend.
Incredible polish eats, just like Baba made! My husband & I wanted to try as much of the menu as possible so he ordered the Debutant, which consist of an assortment of polish dishes & I had Golabki (cabage rolls). Pierogi must be included at some point of your meal as their fabulous👌 I can't wait to go back to try their dill pickle soup amd brunch. Curie-tini cocktail proves that vodka & pickle is a winning combination. Service was courteous & super fast. Prices are incredibly reasonable. Will definitely be back!
When I read the reviews all were amazing, fresh food, beautiful decor... I don't know about you buy fried potatoes & fried crepe rolls & way too salty soup is not fresh food to me. I have never had polish food before but this is not gastronomy to me. Super uncomfortable church pews & way too dark. The only really good point is the amazing service. Not worth the ridiculous price. Maybe polish food is just not my thing.
