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!

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!

A perfect find on a snowy evening. The live pianist was great. The barszcz was a great start to warm up, the pierogi & golabki were both excellent, & we finished with the krokiety crepes - a great closer to a really satisfying meal. Honest Polish cooking at a fair price. We'll definitely be back.

A staple in the Old Port, the best (& only) Polish restaurant in Montreal. Every meal is like homemade, you will not be disappointed!

We loved the Stash Cafe! The food was so great. We had the side salad, potato pancakes & perogies. I also tried my first Polish beer. The live piano music enhanced the experience. I would definitely recommend it!

We had a fantastic culinary experience at Café Stash & would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, authentic Polish cuisine in old Montreal.

The atmosphere immediately stood out - warm wooden tables, cozy bench seating, & those iconic red hanging lamps that give the dining room a lively but intimate feel. A live piano player during dinner added a wonderful touch & made the whole evening feel special without being overwhelming.

Food-wise, everything delivered. The beef stroganoff was rich & deeply flavorful, perfectly paired with crispy potato pancakes. The kielbasa was juicy & nicely grilled, served with tangy sauerkraut & mustard that balanced the dish beautifully. The breaded pork cutlet was classic comfort food done right.

Both soups were highlights: the pickle soup was surprisingly bright & addictive, while the mushroom soup was earthy & satisfying. Desserts - apple & peach cobblers - were excellent, pleasantly flavoured & not overly sweet.

Drinks were equally enjoyable. The cocktails were solid, & the raspberry & tobacco vodka shots were memorable & fun.

Great food, lively ambiance, & genuine hospitality - Café Stash is an easy recommendation.

Among the top Polish food I've had (& I lived in Poland). The atmosphere was also great with the live piano music & red-ish lights, & service was top notch! My friends & I ended up ordering entrées family style so we could try more things.

Charming service in a gorgeous Old Town building. Classic polish dishes. Get some soup & pirogies for a light lunch.

I was so impressed with this restaurant during a visit on a Friday for lunch (only day M-F that they serve lunch). I had visited Poland earlier this year & really enjoyed the pierogis & other items. This cozy restaurant was so true to Polish cuisine that I'll return in March when I visit Montreal next. I overdid it in order to try pierogis (they have a mixed platter of 4 total with each filling represented), golubki (stuffed cabbage), dessert, an excellent rioja, & finally a shot of vodka. The pianist was a fantastic touch for lunch. Don't let my spend scare you. I had everything & 3 glasses of wine. You could probably get out for less per person.
