Testy and delicious pizza and burger
Reviews / Ratings for Stash Café
This has to be my favourite meal I’ve had in my 8 months of living in Montreal. Stash Cafe had been on my bucket list for months, but due to the busy schedule and shallow pockets of a student like myself, I had to put off making the trip to Old Montreal for a while. First of all, the restaurant itself is gorgeous. The ambiance is perfect with the soft piano and all the wonderful art to admire. The beef pierogis were so flavourful and paired perfectly with the peppery sauerkraut and sour cream. Exactly what I needed today after finals. I tried both desserts, and while I felt the apple cobbler was a bit lacking (too much crust/not enough apples, and I felt like it should have been served warm instead of cold), the sweet cheese crepe was life changing. I could have drank a bucket of the raspberry coulis mixed with the sweet cream. Our server was very friendly, the food came extremely fast after ordering, and the meal wasn’t even that expensive! Two main courses and 2 desserts for $56 is extremely reasonable for this level of quality and deliciousness. I’ll be returning the first chance I get after summer break!
Despite the food being flavorful and authentic, the overall experience was disappointing due to poor customer service. The staff came across as impatient, rude, and dismissive, which took away from an otherwise enjoyable meal.
Great experience! Fun atmosphere
Very good, authentic Polish food. The service is always amazing, and the live piano music is top tier.
Very good Polish cuisine. Tasteful decor with interesting Polish art work. Tavern style seating. Soft live piano music. Weiner schnitzel was classic. Veggie barley soup was tasty. The cabbage roll with pork and rice was quite good. Good place for classic tavern grub
Beautiful restaurant, variety of soups, i loved zurek, and the chicken sznycel is highly recommended!
Great taste and warm service!
Because we had booked in advance, we were given a great table in the corner by the window. This meant we had a view of the street but also soaked up the atmosphere without being in the lord centre of it. We loved the sound of the live piano playing. We wanted the herring to start but they didn't have any so I had the kielbasa with fried onion and strong grain mustard which was tasty, whilst my husband had the Ukrainian beet consomme which was very tasty indeed. We went for the debutant main course, a kind of taster plate. The food had nice flavours but for us it was too much stodge in one go and we couldn't finish it. We wish we'd ordered the schnitzel instead.
Pierogis are the best in town tbh (get debutant plate dont play)

Growing up Polish, we always celebrated holidays with traditional Polish cuisine. My mom would also pick times to make trays of gołąbki, or pierogi. As a child, I didn't really enjoy it that much, but as I got older, I more appropriately understood the comforting value of Polish cuisine. On a recent trip to Montreal, we visited Stash Cafe, and it was like I was teleported to my childhood, surrounded by happy people serving comforting Polish cuisine. They have all the dishes you would expect, and they are all uperb. I went with a cheeky order of gołąbki plus a kielbasa dish (because I had to try both). My wife had a veal cutlet, my daughter had bigos, and it was all terrific. Five stars to the team at Stash Cafe, I cannot wait to return. Montreal continues to exceed expectations with the culinary scene, and Stash Cafe took it to new level for me personally!
Me and my dad are from germany with polish background, the food tasted exactly like the food my grandmother served! Feels like Poland and it is basically poland🇵🇱🇩🇪🇨🇦 We were surprised at how good the food was, and the waitress also speaks good Polish. Come and visit this nice restaurant.
Atmosphere was great. Food is really not anything special.
Stopped here for lunch and was blown away. The prix fixe menu was amazing value - would highly recommend. The food was all hearty and delicious - as one would expect. The dill pickle soup was a fun surprise and the menu debutant and stroganoff were both top notch picks. My highlight was dessert - the peach crumble with fresh cream was absolutely amazing. The real special thing here is the ambiance though. The dim lights, wooden benches, and the pianist playing really elevated the experience. Everyone moving through the space was absolutely struck by how great it was. Make sure to bring some cash to tip them!
Cozy, pleasant, warm atmosphere with interesting decor, great service. Marcos was very friendly and helpful. We went twice since we enjoyed it so much and he remembered us which was sweet. As a second generation polish/ukranian I found all the food very similar to my grandparents and very satisfying. I recommend the variety plate (debutant) to try everything. The borscht is more of a light and bright special occasion version than a hearty stew which was nice to see - I haven't seen that in a restaurant before. Great area too.
Great experience and helpful staff! Fun atmosphere that caters to locals and also visitors.
Nice atmosphere and authentic polish food :) Recommended by my polish colleague !
One of my most favorite local restaurants in Montreal, located right in the old port. It is the first Polish food that I tried and I was super impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and amazingly friendly, the food was delicious and portion is well proportional to the prices. Wether you're a local Montrealers or tourist, this place definitely will be worth checking out.
I did not have high expectations for polish food prior to going here - but the taste - we got the Debutant plate and golabki - and service (Marcos was very friendly and attentive) were incredible. Liked it well enough to go twice in 3 days!
Just went there with my friends. Honostly the experience was great, the ambiance was amazing and I loved the theme. Also, our server Laura was very helpful and knew the menu well. Great experience overall 👌
The most wonderful local restaurant in the Old Port!! Fresh ingredients cooked into delicious dishes of a great variety. Friendly service, a warm, cozy tune is often played from the piano, making the atmosphere even more comforting. All the dishes we ordered were incredibly delicious and memorable.
Thank you for worst service possible. As from “We would need this table in a hour” to endless waiting time at the “table they will need”. Staff not doing anything , looking at each other or phone. I’d like to give advice to the staff members to service more positive than side eyeing every table. We caught a waiter squinting at customers while taking an order and we were like.. wow. Famous borscht without any meat and with vinegar taste, with this recipe Cafe automatically can consider removing this dish from menu. If you’re gonna tell me that it’s “beet broth” maybe don’t call it a borscht.
Great vibe, delicious food and fair prices for Montreal
