Incroyable expérience, piano live dans le restaurant, ambiance tamisée super mignonne. Il existe une formule permettant de découvrir plein de petites portions de spécialités polonaises si l'on ne connaît pas du tout cette cuisine donc c'est super pratique ! Les cocktails sont très bons & le personnel est très gentil, notamment pour les recommandations sur la carte. Je suis 100% certaine d'y retourner à mon prochain passage à Montréal ! ❤️
This restaurant is definitely one of my favourites in the entire city. The food & the atmosphere always surprise me. The only reason I'm conflicted about the service, is because I could not stop looking at the bartender today. I don't think I've seen such a charismatic & beautiful man before. Please tell Dave he made my night & I'll definitely be coming again tonight.
Comida tradicional polaca, deliciosa, la ternera estrogonoff es el mejor platillo así como la sopa de betabel y los dumplings mixtos. De postre la tarta de manzana muy recomendable.
This restaurant was amazing! The food, the decor, the service & the guy playing the piano. It all came together for a wonderful dining experience. The beet soup was a great start. The perogis were delicious. The ambiance was just right. It's deep into the old montreal area but worth the trek. Go early as the wait can be long. Without a doubt I highly recommend this place!

Cudowny klimat, tesknilam za Polska kuchnia pracujac w Stanach.. cos pieknego jedzenie przepyszne, jak u mamy, babci, w domu.. Polecam wszystkim! Made my day
An amazing experience. A must do for us every time we are visiting Montréal. The menu is great & all of the food is amazing. It's everything it should be for Polish cuisine. Highly recommended.
This beautiful restaurant was perfect, in terms of atmosphere. There were beautiful red lights providing a small amount of light making it feel very cozy & nice. What also added into this were the pretty long chair which was a nice style that went well with the piano playing. The food was really good. The perogies & salad is what I will recommend. The service, as well, was very good! They were ready for all our needs & were very polite when we needed something or they brought something to us. Service is 20/10!!!
In general the food was quite flavorless: Zurek too watery without egg & not sour at all. Bigos too sweet & without smoked sausage taste. Pierogi overcooked & also tasteless. As a lover of real traditional Polish kitchen, we were both disappointed. The Brazilian waiter was the only highlight of the evening. The Polish waitress was not at all friendly & almost rude.
We had the best food & service experience in Montreal. Kasper was our waitress & was on point all the time! Thank you so much for the great energy although was very late. We will come back:)
