It was my first time having Polish food at a restaurant. Surprisingly it was very delicious--who knew simple food like Perogies could be packed with flavor? Atmosphere & service were excellent as well. I'll be back.

Great dinner with live piano. Polish food was solid. We had the schnitzel & sole for mains. Ambiance was busy but not crowded. Good value.

You write that you are a restaurant of Polish cuisine. I chose between Borscht & Zhurek, I chose Zhurek (because I can cook Borscht myself). What can I say about your Zhurek - people, don't be lazy & don't deceive others, because it's not Zhurek, but just coloured water with sausages. & where are the eggs & mushrooms? Some even serve it with mashed potatoes (it's a bomb!). The Poles treated me to Zhurek & I was delighted. & many people know that Polish cuisine is quite hearty, saturated with mega large portions. It's scary to imagine, but at the same time it's interesting, what kind of Ukrainian Borscht do you have? I also ordered dumplings (Pierogi), mix. I must note that the dumplings (Pierogi) were delicious.

Stash Café est un lieu désuet en mal d'une rénovation. Les bancs d'église rappellent une époque révolue quand la révolution tranquille au Québec visait la destruction de la religion. L'atmosphère du café est triste & moribonde. Les mets sont préparés d'une façon trop rapide, ils sont médiocres. Rien à voir avec les pierogis de ma défunte mère. Ou le bigos que je suis capable de préparer moi-même. Le Zurek était fade & la saucisse coupée en petits morceaux était très loin de satisfaire. Le plat de soupe comme le reste contenait des ingrédients passés de date. Voir les champignons de Paris du bigos, gris & peu appétissants. Le service était bon & la jeune serveuse contrastait avec les vieux plats & l'endroit caverneux. Finalement la bière polonaise Zywiec avait un mauvais arrière goût. On a le droit de s'attendre à beaucoup mieux de la part de la cuisine polonaise.

Everything is great about this place! Starting with food & finishing with the atmosphere. I especially recommend it to people who like Slavic food. Order "Debutant" because it is a mix of almost everything on the menu.

Easily the best meal we had during our visit to Montreal, I would come back to the city just for the ogorkowa soup. It's hard to find good Polish food & this was top tier!
