It was super good & the service was nice & the piano music too! My ONLY complaint is that there was an over head lamp right over the spot I was sitting & the intensity of the light was really uncomfortable when the rest of the restaurant was pretty dimly lit & I couldn't move the bench away from the light but if I hadn't been at that spot it would have probably been perfect

Our favorite Polish restaurant on either side of the border. We discovered this delicious place on an anniversary trip in 2016 to see Patrick Watson in concert. Have been talking about Stash Cafe food since. Finally returned this weekend for my birthday dinner. Love, love, love the food & atmosphere. I highly recommend anything on the menu, but especially the mushroom pierogi. We also enjoyed the live piano music in the background.

An absolute European gem in the Old Port. The staff is lovely, the pianist is fantastic, the place is cozy, even the path to the washroom is charming. The barszcz, cabbage rolls, schnitzels, krokiety, & pierogi are great, but the star is the placki for me. The desserts are a must-try, both the apple crumble & the cheese filled crepe! However, be warned that there are not many choices for vegetarians.

Not reserving a table ahead of time on the day of the eclipse was definitely a mistake on my end but from the moment I walked in, Kacper truly went above & beyond to make sure my husband & I had a great meal & a memorable final night in Montreal. I do not have enough great things to say about Kacper & the service at stash cafe. We can't wait to visit Montreal again & come back to eat here.
