Bonne ambiance, mais honnêtement, le service était lent & minimaliste. & pourtant, on s'attend à ce qu'on laisse un pourboire de 15, 20, voire 25 % sur une facture de 100 $ pour deux personnes ? J'ai donné 8$, après avoir attendu 45 minutes pour nos assiettes & reçu de l'eau une seule fois. Ensuite, j'ai vu la serveuse se plaindre à son collègue. What?!

Le coût de la vie explose, mais c'est toujours au consommateur de suivre la règle'traditionnelle' du pourcentage ?! Désolé, mais je ne reviendrai pas.

I will dream about this place. Everything was perfectly cooked & tasted the way it should. Overall cool vibe & atmopsphere. The only thing was is that.. it was very silent lol. My friend & I felt like we had to whisper. I'd recommend having a little background music. Maybe it was just during the time I was there. Anyways, 10/10 would recommend.

La nourriture est juste délicieuse ! Un menu découverte permet de goûter à tous les plats principaux, c'est super surtout quand on ne connaît pas bien la cuisine polonaise. Un cadre très chaleureux & atypique, avec du piano en guise de musique d'ambiance. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant !

Would die for this restaurant. I'm never disappointed when I go. The staff is friendly & the food is always fantastic. Always a bonus when the pianist is there! Definitely recommend eating your weight in pierogi.

I loved Stash Cafe, the atmosphere was super unique & cozy. They have created the perfect environment to enjoy hearty comforting meals. The pricing & portions was very good value for the overall experience. I will definitely be returning.

Highlights: Cabbage rolls were super tender, flavourful, & the right amount of meat.
The warm sauerkraut goes perfectly with the pork schnitzel.
The potatoes were so fluffy too & everything was seasoned nicely nothing was bland in the slightest.

Bonus points for the subtle live music from the pianist.
