We arrived quite early on Saturday evening with no reservations & were just lucky that there was a no show. I would definitely suggest making reservations. Just as you walk in they had a gentleman playing piano which definitely provided a great lounge atmosphere along with the lighting. It was our first time there & so we wanted to try a bit of everything. I ordered an entree of 4 meat pierogis which were hands down the best I've ever had. The meat was spiced to perfection & the caramelized onions rounded it out. I had the strognow as my main meal which the mushrooms & the meat were superb. I enjoyed the beet salad. I would say the only negative was the potato pancakes were a bit on the oily side for me. My partner had the Table hôte which came with a soup, coffee & dessert. The soup was very tasty with fresh herbs. For a main course it was the veal sznitchel, potatoes & beet salad. Dessert was apple crumble which was delicious. We would definitely go back.View more

An artist playing a piano in the background with red dimmed lights makes for a good atmosphere. The waiters are really nice & helpful, their recommendations were great. The food was great, it's good to try new cuisine!View more

Wonderful time here. Beautiful interior & music, wonderful atmosphere, & the food was tasty (good portions & prices). There was a very talented guy playing the piano. They were even occasionally chatting with coworkers & customers all while still playing perfectly!!! One of our side dishes arrived way after our mains did but we got it for free because of that. The waiter was very nice.View more

We noticed this restaurant on our first day of visiting Old Town & planned to visit it for lunch. My family is very familiar with Polish cuisine & every dish we ordered "tasted like childhood". It's pretty busy place so I would recommend to make reservation. Live piano music enhanced resturant's atmosphere.View more

Cozy. Time stands still here. Live piano music & friendly staff. It's good to have a reservation for dinner as there is a continuous line at the door. Food is the most authentic Polish cuisine I've had besides at home. A must while in Montréal!View more

Très bon menu, permet de découvrir la cuisine polonaise. Le goût est authentique & les plats sont délicieux. Ils font aussi leur propre bière 🍺. Un pianiste joue du piano sur place.View more

Some of the best food I've ever had in my life! Generous portions, & short wait time. The waiters were nice, & the piano was a nice addition. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend the Stash Café.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

Incroyable expérience, piano live dans le restaurant, ambiance tamisée super mignonne. Il existe une formule permettant de découvrir plein de petites portions de spécialités polonaises si l'on ne connaît pas du tout cette cuisine donc c'est super pratique ! Les cocktails sont très bons & le personnel est très gentil, notamment pour les recommandations sur la carte. Je suis 100% certaine d'y retourner à mon prochain passage à Montréal ! ❤️View more

This restaurant was amazing! The food, the decor, the service & the guy playing the piano. It all came together for a wonderful dining experience. The beet soup was a great start. The perogis were delicious. The ambiance was just right. It's deep into the old montreal area but worth the trek. Go early as the wait can be long. Without a doubt I highly recommend this place!View more

This beautiful restaurant was perfect, in terms of atmosphere. There were beautiful red lights providing a small amount of light making it feel very cozy & nice. What also added into this were the pretty long chair which was a nice style that went well with the piano playing. The food was really good. The perogies & salad is what I will recommend. The service, as well, was very good! They were ready for all our needs & were very polite when we needed something or they brought something to us. Service is 20/10!!!View more

Beautiful busy & lively restaurant, when I went they had live piano music. They allowed me to place a takeout order which they dont normally do so I was very appreciative of that. The beef stroganov was amazing very peppery & hearty. The side latkes are excellent as well as the julienned beet veggie side. My wife really enjoyed her mushroom krokiety. Would definitely come back again & dine-in next time. Highly recommended! We did takeout b/c we were traveling with our baby & one of us had to stay home & watch him.View more

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.View more

Wonderful Eastern European food served in an old building with cozy charm. Bar is limited, but what is available is pretty good. Service was friendly & efficient. The piano player added a nice feel to the already intimate setting.View more

This is probably one of the best little gems in Montreal. Located in the old port of the city, it doesn't disappoint. Run by a nice family. Every-time I come here, I feel like I am eating a home cook meal. Feels like home, great atmosphere & always amazing food. The live piano player adds the cherry on top. I highly recommend this place.View more

My wife & I came here on Friday night with a last minute reso. They were great with calling me back after I left a message. All the food was excellent. I got the veal schnitzel & my wife got the taster plate with a couple of a bunch of things. We also shared the beet consumé & the pickled herring which was my favourite of the night! The live piano was a great touch & lots of fun. Really great night!View more
Aleksandra
Lovely busy place. Food was reasonably priced & plentiful. The schabowy was absolutely perfect. Golabki had too much marjoram, but were very good. Great apple crumble. Service was great & the live piano was just lovely. Note to other clients that comment on how great the piano man was - give the man a tip! He deserves it!View more

What a great little find! The atmosphere was so cozy; live piano the entire time. The staff was friendly & efficient. But best of all, the food was fantastic! I really enjoyed their tasting platter as well as the beef stroganov. I also really loved their pierogi with beef! I absolutely loved my experience & will recommend to anyone who is looking to try Eastern European food!View more

I teared up in here last night because I haven't had such authentic & delicious Polish food since I was a teenager. The servers are family & shared with us, the atmosphere was just perfect. It was full, the piano was playing, but we could still hear one another & even made friends at the next table. It was the perfect end to a wonderful day & I'll never forget this place!View more
