Every time I'm in Montreal, Stash Café is my dinner place - without question. We just went three nights in a row, & I still couldn't get enough. I could honestly go a fourth.

This place feels like a warm hug the second you walk in. The food is pure comfort - hearty, rich, & absolutely delicious. & the best part? There was nothing bad on the menu that I've tried. Every dish has been a hit, each one better than the last.

The vibe is fantastic - cozy & full of soul, especially with the live piano player creating the perfect ambiance (& yes, make sure to tip - it's part of the magic!). This is easily one of my favourite spots in Montreal, especially on a cold winter evening when it truly warms your soul.

The experience is made even better by the incredible staff. The servers are always polite, smiling, & genuinely kind - warm service that matches the restaurant's atmosphere. It makes you want to stay longer, order more, & come back tomorrow… which we did.

If it's your first time, trust me & go for the pierogies & the mixed platter - the best way to try a bit of everything. Also - don't skip dessert. The desserts are just as delicious as the mains, perfectly sweet, comforting, & unforgettable.

Authentic. Soul-warming. Addictive.
Highly recommend - just be warned, you might end up going three nights in a row too.

Already dreaming about my next plate of pierogies… & dessert. 🥟🎹🍰

Definitely one of our favorite Montreal restaurants now. My wife & I did some research before we return this year & found many recommendations for Stash & we were not disappointed.
We didn't make reservations, but thankfully it was a weeknight & we were able to get in. Love the piano player for the added ambience.
We tried a little bit of almost everything & everything was perfect. This will definitely be a highlight to our trips in the future to Montreal & we recommend anyone trying it out.
Side note: We went to another restaurant a few days later & during a conversation with the chef there they recommended it as their favorite restaurant in Montreal before we even mentioned we had been there.

Such a lovely dining experience with authentic Polish cuisine! My hubby & I walked in w/o a reservation on a Saturday evening in March at 8:30pm. Despite still being full, we were seated right away at a cozy window table. Upon walking in, you are greeted with wonderful live music from a very talented piano player right at the entrance. The restaurant is warm & cozy with a red light district vibe with the red lampshades on all the lights. Lovely beamed ceilings & church pew bench seats with a long bar on the side. Our waitress was great, professional, & courteous. We ordered perogies, schnitzel, among other Polish dishes, & yummy cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed each dish & the entire evening. We loved the perogies so much that instead of ordering dessert, we ordered another 8 mushroom perogies to go! I HIGHLY recommend for some authentic Polish cuisine!

If you love Eastern European cuisine, this is your place.
We tried:
Dill soup. Latkes. Perogies. Cabbage rolls. Breaded chicken. Sauerkraut. Beet salad. Everything 💯
Can't say enough abt this place. Food. Atmosphere. Cozy dining room. (Live piano player)
Would be wise to make a reservation.

What a surprise this spot was! We had never eaten Polish food before & boy have we been missing out. The food was great! Our server was super nice & helped us get the best food for our first time. We left stuffed & happy. Loved the cabbage & mushroom pierogis plus the potato pancakes along with the barszcz (beet soup) make sure to add the mushroom dumplings. The sauerkraut is warm & so so delicious. The piano player is phenomenal & plays covers of popular songs. The ambiance is kitschy & cozy. Make reservations or go early because this place is popular. A must when in Montreal.

Cozy, comfortable & very welcoming, from the quality & quantity of food to the warmth of the staff, it's a great place for a meal with friends or family, or at the bar if you're on your own. & the piano player has been playing there for 28 years! Say hi - he's very friendly & keeps playing while you chat!

Food: always good. During covid I went there every time I could to support them Service: I was a bit disappointed this time. Service was slower than usual, we waited for 20' before getting the drinks & we had to ask twice to 2 different waiter/ waitress. & I noticed that the wait staff paid more attention on the floor than people, they often missed the call gesture from clients Atmosphere: lighting is BAD. Piano player is amazing!

We had an amazing experience tonight at this wonderful place. Usually you hope the wait for your table at a busy restaurant goes quickly but this wasn't true here. I enjoyed our wait for the table with their talented piano player & it was so much fun to listen to the music as we waited. The food was just off the chart delicious. I usually don't get dessert but tonight I did because I figured if the main course is this good then I have to see what the dessert is like. Also, I got an ultimate Manhattan... Best Manhattan ever.

This is a lovely little spot in a quaint pedestrian district in Montreal. Overall the food was great (amazing pierogi, but DAMN it took forever for the server to make it to our table. I will say the (busy) day we were there only three servers covered the entire spot, & they DID bring out piping hot food...eventually😂 The best thing about this place, however, was the live piano player in the corner keying up all the hits of the 80s & 90s. Make sure you bring some singles to leave in his cup on your way out the door; because he'll definitely play something that makes you go, "Wait. Is that...?" He had me at Dirty Diana.

I rarely rate any establishment as a 5* experience overall, including food, service, & atmosphere... But this place was top tier. The charm, the coziness, the atmosphere, the service, the food (including portion size, taste, & texture), the decor, the ambiance, the music, the people - *everything* was incredible. I'm usually a little awkward & reserved, but I guess the never ending rain made for some great conversation, because but I didn't feel out of place at any point during the evening. The piano player? Amazing. The wait staff? Phenomenal. The amount of people here were also not too many, which is a solid a+. I had the Table D'hôte with the crêpes, & everything was divine. Great night for a goodbye dinner with friends.

This is the best restaurant I've been to in Montreal. I have gone twice now & will be coming back again. The food is authentic, good portions, & good prices. The atmosphere is also great especially with the live piano player. Service is on point, but honestly, I'm here for the culinary & atmospheric knockout, & this place delivers a TKO every time.
