Authentic Polish food. The atmosphere is great, with a live piano player. The pierogi were delicious. The staff is very kind.

I am so glad we heard about this amazing restaurant well in advance and made reservations. The food is incredible, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is charming. Loved the piano player! It's not to be missed if you're in Montreal.

Had dinner at this place and the food was really delicious. We had the Debutant which was nice as it gave us a chance to try a few different things at once. Their zurek was also tasty as were cabbage rolls. The only thing is they forgot to bring us the tea we ordered but just a minor thing. Service is fine otherwise.

Really delicious, homemade-style food! The beef stroganoff was so tender and juicy, served with potato pancakes (draniki) and beet salad. Everything tasted just like home! The potato pierogi were a little too peppery for my son, so he didn’t eat them, but I really liked them. We also had a good laugh when we ordered the borsch and realized that Polish and Ukrainian borscht are completely different! Polish borsh is basically a clear beet broth, while Ukrainian borsh is a hearty soup with lots of vegetables. Now we know! 😊 Overall, we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and we really enjoyed our visit!

Service was slow but the atmosphere is so pleasant and it was raining unmercifully outside so it was ok. Had the perogies, delicious!

I’d definitely advise making a reservation. Our party of four was lucky to get the one table free as a walk-in. We’re not familiar with Polish food, but anything with a beef filling wasn’t to our taste. It appeared to be cooked beef that was then minced and pulverised, so it had a grainy, chalky mouthfeel that you wouldn’t experience with ground beef. Perhaps that is just the technique for those Polish dishes. Otherwise, it was not bad. My rolled cabbage was pleasant enough and the set meal was decently priced. The ambience was lively and bustling, though they set the lighting quite low, so my parents had to use a flashlight to read the menu.

Loved this restaurant in Montreal. Glad we made a reservation because it was busy, but very lively and had a great atmosphere with live music. Tasty pierogis and I had a pea soup which was the soup of the day. Would recommend!!

Stopped by Stash Café last Friday evening after wandering around with my camera for a few hours, and the warm lighting inside made for a nice break from the grey outside. I ended up getting the mushroom risotto, which was rich without being heavy, and I may have taken more photos of the plate than I'd like to admit. The server actually asked what I was shooting and pointed me toward a window seat with better light, which I thought was a nice touch. Small spot, cozy atmosphere, and it felt like the kind of place that's used to regulars but still makes a wandering photographer feel welcome.

Slow, sloooow service, mixing up orders, including serving gluten stuff to the person who very clearly ordered gluten-free. I used to enjoy eating here in past years. Sadly not anymore.

Delicious food. Start with the tripe soup if you can handle it. Then the stuffed cabbage rolls and maybe the “hunter’s stew”. The apple desert is a must have.

I was there on a Monday night and people were lining up to get in. I sat at the bar and the bartender said this is one of the quiet nights..I totally got why. The room, the food, the service, were cozy and lovely. A 50 year old family restaurant run by Polish women, situated in a heritage building, live piano 🎹, checks all the boxes.

Amazing spot! I was visiting from the U.S. and came across this place on Reddit. It was my first time having polish food, and they definitely set the bar high! The staff were super friendly, the food was delicious, and the pianist was very talented. Plus the vibe with the red lights is cozy and chic!

Our second time at Stache, and we loved it just as much as the first! The Polish cuisine is delicious and comforting. The pierogi are a must-try, especially the mushroom ones absolutely delicious. I also had the tripe soup and schnitzel, and both were excellent. The atmosphere is also wonderful, with the pianist playing live music. It makes the whole experience feel warm, cozy, and special. Great food, great atmosphere, and a lovely place to enjoy Polish cuisine. Definitely coming back again!

We stopped by Stash Cafe on a weekday afternoon while wandering around Montreal and ended up staying almost two hours because the atmosphere was so relaxed. My husband had the duck rillettes and couldn't stop talking about it, and I really enjoyed my salmon tartare with a glass of local wine. The server was friendly and patient with us as we asked a dozen questions about the neighborhood, even sketching out a little walking route for us afterward. It's the kind of cozy, unpretentious spot that made our trip feel special, and we'd definitely go back next time we're in the city.

I’m truly impressed; honestly, I haven’t had *krokiety* (croquettes) prepared this well—even in Poland. If you’re in Montreal and want to taste authentic Polish cuisine, this is definitely the best place to go.

What a wonderful experience! We had tried to visit earlier in the week, but unfortunately, there was a power outage. Since we were heading home to Toronto the next day, we thought we had missed our chance — but Adam, our server, went truly above and beyond to make it happen. He graciously found us seats at the bar and provided the most incredible, warm, and personalized service. Adam’s genuine care and hospitality turned a disappointing first attempt into a memorable dining experience. And the food was absolutely worth the wait! Be sure to try the perogies — they practically melt in your mouth. The beef stroganoff, cabbage rolls, beet salad, and potato pancakes were all delicious and comforting. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we finished with the best peach cobbler! A huge thank you to Adam for making us feel so welcome and going out of his way to accommodate us. Exceptional hospitality, delicious food, and a meal we won’t soon forget! With appreciation, Caron
