Just happened upon this restaurant with my wife & two good friends. We had a very traditional Polish meal & everything was fantastic. The Apple cobbler is the best I've ever had. The staff were super friendly & the price is reasonable. I'm sorry I don't live here because I would eat in this restaurant all the time.

Dinner on Friday night.
Lunch on Saturday.
(It was that good.)
If you love Eastern European cuisine, this is your place.
We tried:
Dill soup. Latkes. Perogies. Cabbage rolls. Breaded chicken. Sauerkraut. Beet salad. Everything 💯
Can't say enough abt this place. Food. Atmosphere. Cozy dining room. (Live piano player)
Would be wise to make a reservation.

Visited a couple of days ago. There were two of us, & I asked to sit at a four-person table in an almost empty restaurant. They refused, stating that larger tables were only for bigger groups. However, as we were leaving, I noticed three other couples seated at the very tables I had requested, even though the restaurant was still half-empty.

This is not the right way to treat customers, especially on a first visit. First & last.

What a surprise this spot was! We had never eaten Polish food before & boy have we been missing out. The food was great! Our server was super nice & helped us get the best food for our first time. We left stuffed & happy. Loved the cabbage & mushroom pierogis plus the potato pancakes along with the barszcz (beet soup) make sure to add the mushroom dumplings. The sauerkraut is warm & so so delicious. The piano player is phenomenal & plays covers of popular songs. The ambiance is kitschy & cozy. Make reservations or go early because this place is popular. A must when in Montreal.

Went here for Valentine's day with the fiancée, food was absolutely delicious, ambiance with the dimmed lights, suspended paintings, very nice. The pianist at the entrance was super chill & welcomed us warmly. The whole experience was awesome. When do you go out to a polish restaurant?? Definitely worth our time. Will go back for sure!
