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

Wow wow wow. As someone from Kraków who cooks a lot of polish meals at home, I can definitely say this restaurant is extremely authentic. We were blown away by the quality & spot on authenticity of it. We ordered the zupa ogórkowa (pickle soup), barszcz (beet soup), krokiety (mushroom croquettes), pierogi ruskie (potato pierogis) & the szarlotka (Apple crumble pie). While everything was delicious & traditionally presented, the pierogi & szarlotka were our favorites. The pierogis were plump with great potato quality & not heavy on dough. You can def tell they were handmade. Every bite the potatoes melted in your mouth & you can taste the butter & onions. So good! Now the szarlotka. We never order dessert but based on how authentic everything else was, I could not resist trying this traditional apple dessert. Let me tell you, not only did it not disappoint but very much exceeded our expectations. It was served perfectly chilled, & you can taste both the sweet & tartness of the apple. & the fresh cream on top was so insanely delicious. We practically licked the plate. & don't skip on the cocktails! We also had the szarlotka cocktail which was served with Zubrowka vodka (our fave), apple juice & a splash of lemon. Served with a little bit of cinnamon & sugar on the rim. Wow oh wow. Refreshing & complex, what an amazing cocktail. Will def be trying to recreate at home but if not, just another excuse to visit this restaurant. Definitely don't skip this spot. If you want to try authentic polish food, this is the place! Enjoy it with the live piano player who is there most week night. Na zdrowie!View more

Our favorite Polish restaurant on either side of the border. We discovered this delicious place on an anniversary trip in 2016 to see Patrick Watson in concert. Have been talking about Stash Cafe food since. Finally returned this weekend for my birthday dinner. Love, love, love the food & atmosphere. I highly recommend anything on the menu, but especially the mushroom pierogi. We also enjoyed the live piano music in the background.View more

It was my first time having Polish food at a restaurant. Surprisingly it was very delicious--who knew simple food like Perogies could be packed with flavor? Atmosphere & service were excellent as well. I'll be back.View more

Great dinner with live piano. Polish food was solid. We had the schnitzel & sole for mains. Ambiance was busy but not crowded. Good value.View more

You write that you are a restaurant of Polish cuisine. I chose between Borscht & Zhurek, I chose Zhurek (because I can cook Borscht myself). What can I say about your Zhurek - people, don't be lazy & don't deceive others, because it's not Zhurek, but just coloured water with sausages. & where are the eggs & mushrooms? Some even serve it with mashed potatoes (it's a bomb!). The Poles treated me to Zhurek & I was delighted. & many people know that Polish cuisine is quite hearty, saturated with mega large portions. It's scary to imagine, but at the same time it's interesting, what kind of Ukrainian Borscht do you have? I also ordered dumplings (Pierogi), mix. I must note that the dumplings (Pierogi) were delicious.View more

Easily the best meal we had during our visit to Montreal, I would come back to the city just for the ogorkowa soup. It's hard to find good Polish food & this was top tier!View more

I am smitten with this place! I fell in love first time I saw it. Everything about this place is splendid: the decor, the art, the lighting, the staff & of course, the amazing Polish food!!! Rien que d'y penser, j'en ai l'eau à la bouche 😄View more

The food, atmosphere & service are amazing. Our server spoke Polish & was from Warsaw so we could communicate in English, French or Polish. The food has to be from someone's Babcia, it was that good!View more

I wish I could lower every rating I've ever given so that this could be the only 5 star review because it deserves to be at the top. The best Polish food I have ever had by far, from the juiciest Kielbasa to the most flavorful sauerkraut to the best dumpling texture & flavor. Nothing at this place disappoints. The red lighting ambience, the service, & the live piano only adds to this amazing experience. I would & probably will drive back to Montreal from Boston solely for another visit to Stash.View more

An old favorite Old Montreal restaurant of mine back in the day is still there & apparently as popular as ever - full house for lunch on Friday December 29. Quick & friendly service, reasonable prices & great, varied & genuine Polish fare. & the decor is super cozy, esconsed in a 1800s building with thick stone walls & wood beams. Highly Recommend.View more

What a lovely restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. I love the live music & the decoration. They have amazing beers & tasty cocktails to choose. Their Polish food is very delicious. Not 100% authentic but still very delicious. I highly recommend!View more

Absolutely fabulous. While perusing the menu posted outside, my wife, who does not share my Polish heritge, remarked, "There's nothing that appeals to me..." I persuaded her to indulge me. The next evening, I asked her where she wanted to dine. She replied, "Let's go back to Stash Cafe." Bigos & the herring in cream sauce were exquisite!View more
Karina
Great place. Our roots are polish. We absolutely loved that we were able to talk in polish with the server. Dishes are authentic & definitely tasted like from my childhood. Thank you for the amazing experience, Stash!View more

So, so good. If you love Polish food, or really just food, come here. There was a wonderful musician playing Nirvana & 90s Pop hits on the piano while we ate really good food in a wonderful atmosphere under red lights with great service & strong cocktails. An absolutely must in Montreal. Will be back!View more
