My wife is from Poland & she felt back at home with the pierogi & kielbasa flavours! Great food & love piano. A Polish staple for Montreal

I had a great time at Stash Café on Saturday, April 5th, celebrating a friend's birthday with a group of nine. The decor felt straight out of a Wes Anderson movie or an old-school train cabin-super charming & nostalgic. The food was decent, but what really stood out for me were the drinks-especially the pickle martini, which was a hit. They even made us a plate of pickles upon request, even though it wasn't on the menu, which was a really nice touch.

Overall, the vibe was lovely & we were having a great time-until our interaction with our server, which unfortunately didn't match the rest of the experience. She approached our table without a greeting & bluntly asked,'What do you want to drink?' It felt a bit off-putting right from the start. Then, before even offering dessert, she told us she needed to make sure we were leaving soon. This caught us off guard, as we were still ordering drinks & planning to enjoy coffee & dessert.

It felt like we were being rushed out, though the restaurant didn't appear to be full-there was no one waiting at the door when we checked. She also entered the wrong payment amount for one of our friends, & when he pointed it out, she implied that he hadn't paid her in full, which wasn't the case. It turned into an awkward exchange. After we left, we all realized she had been cold or distant with everyone at the table-not just a one-off moment.

On the bright side, the bartender who brought us our drinks was incredibly kind & all smiles-he really added warmth to our night.

Just a heads-up: the bathroom is located upstairs, so it might be a bit tricky if you have mobility issues. I was in a boot & using a cane at the time, & navigating the stairs wasn't the easiest. Getting around the table was also a bit of a challenge.

All in all, it was a fun night with great company & unique drinks, but the service unfortunately took away from what could have been an excellent experience.

As a Polish person myself, I can confidently say that this is the best spot for Polish food in all of Canada. I haven't food like this since I was back in Poland. The service is top notch & the live music with inside scenery makes for an excellent experience!

Cute place with live piano. Attentive service. Great food. If you want to sample a variety of Polish dishes, debutant is a good choice. Sznycel wiedenski & sznycel mielony are both good. Also their beer tastes great. The apple cobbler is a little milder than I expected but still tasty.

This is our favourite restaurant in Old Montreal, we simply always have to go whenever we visit. The 3 course menu is always our go-to. The atmosphere alone could make this restaurant a must-see but the authentic food & hospitality is what keeps us coming back.
