The beef stroganoff is what pulled us in, & honestly, it was so worth it. It was rich, comforting, & seriously delicious. The place also had a really cozy, welcoming vibe, which made the whole meal even better.

The fixed menu was fantastic especially for the price (which was very fair relative to other places in old Montreal). I don't have much experience with Polish food, but I thought the soup complemented the mains quite well, especially because most of the main dishes are very hearty/comfort food oriented. For dessert, I was impressed by the sweet cream though the apple cobbler wasn't that remarkable.

The restaurant has a great location, a very cozy atmosphere, & quality live piano which is not too loud or overbearing. Service was good as well, & I would definitely come back.
