Definitely a welcome surprise to find such good polish food in this part of Montréal! So glad we meandered in for a late lunch. Pierogi & kielbasa were very good!

Incredible polish eats, just like Baba made! My husband & I wanted to try as much of the menu as possible so he ordered the Debutant, which consist of an assortment of polish dishes & I had Golabki (cabage rolls). Pierogi must be included at some point of your meal as their fabulous👌 I can't wait to go back to try their dill pickle soup amd brunch. Curie-tini cocktail proves that vodka & pickle is a winning combination. Service was courteous & super fast. Prices are incredibly reasonable. Will definitely be back!

J'y suis allée avec mon copain & la nourriture est exceptionnelle. Il faut absolument commander les perogis. Notre serveur était très gentil & la nourriture est arrivée relativement vite. Je vais certainement revenir!

Nous avons découvert ce restaurant avec plaisir. Ambiance agréable, bon service & très bonne nourriture. Mes amies se sont partagé le canard à 2. La portion était très généreuse & le canard délicieux. Mon conjoint & moi avons chacun pris une choucroute. Très bonne! Le choux n'était pas trop vinaigré & les saucisses pas trop grasses. & la moutarde était très bonne. on s'est régalé! En entrée, le hareng fumé & les croquettes de pomme de terre sont très bons. & pour finir, le gâteau aux noisettes est un vrai régal! On y retournera, c'est certain.

When I read the reviews all were amazing, fresh food, beautiful decor... I don't know about you buy fried potatoes & fried crepe rolls & way too salty soup is not fresh food to me. I have never had polish food before but this is not gastronomy to me. Super uncomfortable church pews & way too dark. The only really good point is the amazing service. Not worth the ridiculous price. Maybe polish food is just not my thing.
