We love this place. Stumbled on it ~10 years ago, & then kept returning. A polish expat place in Montreal that is heartwarming in its superb consistency, straightforward quality. Pierogi , potato pancakes, everything with beet or cabbage are all recommended. Probably the best Schnitzels this side of the Atlantic. Also a great collection of Vodkas, some served with pickle juice - worth trying. The room is pleasant & old fashioned but not aged - highly recommended.

First time having Polish food & left very satisfied. The restaurant has a very good vibe, you can enjoy tasty cocktails while a pianist entertains. We ordered the dill pickle soup, peirogis & kroketies! Personal fav was the soup, very light flavorful & nothing like I've ever had.

The place had an authentic European feel. It was my first experience with Polish dining & it was memorable! The perogies, potato pancakes, pickled herring & croquettes (three course meal) were excellent. The apple cobbler & sweet cream were a pleasant surprise. The accordion dinner accompaniment was enjoyable, adding to the atmosphere.
Service was reasonably quick considering how packed the place was. Washrooms were clean. I would return to this charming welcoming establishment.

Delicious food! My husband & I had a lovely dinner here & enjoyed the live music. There was a gluten free option for the kotlet, which was great!

Food was very good, we made a reservation & got a good spot. We did order vegetarian though & they forgot to mark it as such & brought half meat out. They were very apologetic but you will want to confirm they write it down.

Definitely one of our favorite Montreal restaurants now. My wife & I did some research before we return this year & found many recommendations for Stash & we were not disappointed.
We didn't make reservations, but thankfully it was a weeknight & we were able to get in. Love the piano player for the added ambience.
We tried a little bit of almost everything & everything was perfect. This will definitely be a highlight to our trips in the future to Montreal & we recommend anyone trying it out.
Side note: We went to another restaurant a few days later & during a conversation with the chef there they recommended it as their favorite restaurant in Montreal before we even mentioned we had been there.

Definitely one of my favorite places in Montreal! The ambiance & decor is vintage chic - which is so nice! &, I love how there's live piano.

The food is exquisite & at a decent price. I was blown away by the stroganoff & the sledz. The drinks are also great!

Such a lovely dining experience with authentic Polish cuisine! My hubby & I walked in w/o a reservation on a Saturday evening in March at 8:30pm. Despite still being full, we were seated right away at a cozy window table. Upon walking in, you are greeted with wonderful live music from a very talented piano player right at the entrance. The restaurant is warm & cozy with a red light district vibe with the red lampshades on all the lights. Lovely beamed ceilings & church pew bench seats with a long bar on the side. Our waitress was great, professional, & courteous. We ordered perogies, schnitzel, among other Polish dishes, & yummy cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed each dish & the entire evening. We loved the perogies so much that instead of ordering dessert, we ordered another 8 mushroom perogies to go! I HIGHLY recommend for some authentic Polish cuisine!
