In the middle of service, a piano player begun playing and so the vibe was pretty moody/lively. Our table wasn't quite ready for us but it was worth the wait! As a table, we shared a large beet salad that literally felt like it could cure cancer and mixed pierogis. They were a mix of meat, potato, cheese and mushroom (my favorite!!!). The dough was SO soft yet somehow they held their own. For my main, I ordered the Migos, which was a fairly healthy option consisting of savory cooked cabbage, sausage, meat and mushrooms. My dad had the Debutant and so got a variety that I was able to try including the crispy potato pancakes and a large croquette of sorts. My stepfamily put away a few glasses of Szarlotka, which I'd never heard of before but had a wonderfully sugared rim. I imagine if I knew what these were in college I would have been in trouble. I stuck with a mimosa like drink with Polish compote juice (so good!) and then after brunch we took Belvedere shots (a little disappointing they didn't offer options of other Eastern European vodkas). Oh, and the best part? The Nalesnik which were rich but not overly sweet crepes. Sooooooo good.

It's 360 miles from my home in Northern NJ to Montreal but I make the pilgrimage gladly each year…read more Love has no bounds. If you have not experienced Montreal, I recommend it. One of my favorite restaurants is "Stash Cafe" named after the original owner Stanislav Proszyaski. You might have guessed it's a Polish restaurant. The Stash Cafe serves hearty and authentic Polish comfort food like cabbage rolls (Golaki), potato pancakes (Placki), and Kielbasa. The Stash Cafe is a stone building with an intimate rustic interior. Red shaded lambs and sturdy wooden tables complete the decor. I was dining with a friend on this last visit. She ordered Golaki ($23), two cabbage rolls filled with pork & rice, potatoes and a choice of salads. I ordered a Kielbasa ($26) plate which consisted of 2 Polish sausages from a local provider, salad, a biscuit and a grainy dijon mustard. We shared 4 potato pancakes Placki ($12)) served with sour cream or apple sauce. We both enjoyed our meal and I took the bill. Old school, I guess. Dessert offerings included poppy seed cake or strudel.

SCORE!! Jellyfish had incredibly flavorful food and service top notch!! We started with the tuna crudo which was UH-May-Zing! The combination of textures and flavors was superb and the tuna wonderfully fresh! Chilmole tempura was MAGNIFIQUE!!! Honestly, I'd come here and just get 2 servings for my entire meal and be happy, haha. We also split the fried polenta. That was heartier than expected for polenta - almost like fried mashed potatoes - but still very delicious with the meat stock as a flavorful "thick" broth. I had the hanger steak with French fries (felt kinda steak frite-ish tonight) and my friend had the rotelle with bone marrow. The hanger steak was cooked to perfection and fries just the right crispness for my liking. My friends rotelle was just OK (hence the 4 stars) and the big bone with fatty marrow scooped out at the table was just - unexpected and weird. Just wasn't appetizing after that Perhaps it's more of the norm with French Quebec culture and cuisine and our American expectations jaded the experience. But hey! We tried it Overall, I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to tourists and if I were staying longer, I'd definitely come back.

There's ample parking available on the streets. It has a bar on one side and a family-friendly seating area (with a wood-burning pizza oven in the center) on the other.

My go-to meal is a Guinness and the German Plate as it's filled with all the goods you want: schnitzel, sausage, spaetzle, sauerkraut, and potato salad! Even outside of whatever events they might be hosting, it is such a relaxing and warming place to enjoy a great meal!

We had the meatball vegetable soup to start, and that came accompanied with a basket of fresh warm bread and butter. So good! Then we tried three different plates: the sarmale with mamaliga (cabbage rolls with polenta), the mici with fries (ground meat rolls with freshly cut and fried potato strips), and the chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes. Did I mention that the food was so good? We were so full but made space for the grand finale of desserts: the clatite (crepes with your choice of nutella or jam - we chose one of each) and the pananasi, which are like donuts with a miniball of fried dough with sour cream and jam. The portions were generous and the price was very reasonable too! We're looking forward to returning next time we're in Montreal!

The best dish was these raviolis filled with different Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala or saag aloo. I don't know how that's Canadian but they were delicious. An assortment of lobster snacks at the beginning was also very good. Some dishes really didn't work for me; they were too rich in my opinion. And as a whole meal, I thought the dishes didn't necessarily go with one another. The staff were amazing. Extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. They really added to the experience. My only real complaint is that the place is very noisy. It's a small space, and I realize they need to maximize the space to make money, but the result is a very loud experience, so much so that it was hard for me by the end to even think. The price btw for a meal like this was remarkably reasonable.

I thought I understood the plan…read more We arrived at Wolf & Workman and I spotted the outdoor tables in front. Ah. Dog seating. I know how this works. But then something unexpected happened. They took me INSIDE. Through the restaurant. And out the other side into this absolutely fantastic hidden courtyard. Excuse me?? Why did nobody tell me we had upgraded accommodations? The back patio is one of those spaces you'd never know existed from the street. There are stone walls, greenery climbing everywhere, strings of lights overhead and some seriously cool artwork and murals. It feels tucked away from the bustle of Old Montreal and, once the lights came on, had a really warm, relaxed atmosphere. Most importantly, nobody seemed remotely concerned that a tiny Italian Greyhound had joined the dinner party. I was welcomed right in. Mum ordered the trout over couscous, which looked extremely impressive. She did give me some of the trout. Dad ordered the steak frites. I repeat: Dad ordered steak. At a dog-friendly restaurant. While sitting next to a dog. He did not share. I feel like we've covered this issue before. Dad had wine, Mum had a Diet Coke, and I spent much of dinner curled up comfortably with Mum while monitoring the steak situation. There were developments. None favorable to me. But Wolf & Workman is exactly the kind of place we're always hoping to find when traveling: somewhere the humans don't have to compromise on having a genuinely great dinner just because I'm with them. This wasn't simply "there are a couple of tables outside where you can put the dog." I got the good patio. Dogba's verdict: 5 paws out of 5. Dog welcome: enthusiastic Surprise hidden courtyard: exceptional Murals: excellent photo opportunities Evening atmosphere: Mum approved Mum's trout: apparently delicious Dad ordering steak in my presence: provocative Wine for Dad: yes Steak for Dogba: I'd prefer not to discuss it Would absolutely return. Although next time, when someone says Wolf & Workman, I expect considerably more attention to the wolf portion of the clientele.
