Cozy, pleasant, warm atmosphere with interesting decor, great service. Marcos was very friendly & helpful. We went twice since we enjoyed it so much & he remembered us which was sweet. As a second generation polish/ukranian I found all the food very similar to my grandparents & very satisfying. I recommend the variety plate (debutant) to try everything. The borscht is more of a light & bright special occasion version than a hearty stew which was nice to see - I haven't seen that in a restaurant before. Great area too.

One of my most favorite local restaurants in Montreal, located right in the old port. It is the first Polish food that I tried & I was super impressed. The atmosphere is cozy & amazingly friendly, the food was delicious & portion is well proportional to the prices. Wether you're a local Montrealers or tourist, this place definitely will be worth checking out.

I did not have high expectations for polish food prior to going here - but the taste - we got the Debutant plate & golabki - & service (Marcos was very friendly & attentive) were incredible. Liked it well enough to go twice in 3 days!

The most wonderful local restaurant in the Old Port!! Fresh ingredients cooked into delicious dishes of a great variety. Friendly service, a warm, cozy tune is often played from the piano, making the atmosphere even more comforting.

All the dishes we ordered were incredibly delicious & memorable.

Thank you for worst service possible.
As from'We would need this table in a hour' to endless waiting time at the'table they will need'. Staff not doing anything , looking at each other or phone.

I'd like to give advice to the staff members to service more positive than side eyeing every table. We caught a waiter squinting at customers while taking an order & we were like.. wow.

Famous borscht without any meat & with vinegar taste, with this recipe Cafe automatically can consider removing this dish from menu. If you're gonna tell me that it's'beet broth' maybe don't call it a borscht.

Delicious Polish food. Had the pierogis & kielbasa & both were excellent. The apple cobbler dessert was also very nice! They have a solid cocktail list as well!
