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.

The only thing is that they have some things on menu that I don't eat, so I am limited in my choices (ex: blood sausage, game...) But their salmon tartare is so so so amazing that it will have me coming back as a regular for sure.

The takeout was of course great but dining on the newly enlarged patio was on another level all together. I would normally start with a description of the food but in this case I'll start with the service. I saw the new patio being built on Tuesday and stopped by to make a reservation. The manager dropped what he was doing to take care of this task personally and treated me like an old friend. Our waitress was fantastic during the dinner. Last but not least, the sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable. She stopped by a few times for wine service which was a nice touch. One thing in particular impressed me with the wine service: the sommelier "refreshed" our bottle of red wine with a short soak in an ice bucket about half way through the service. Sweet! Speaking of sweet, I'll run through the food in opposite order starting with dessert. Many of the Yelp! reviews rave about the s'mores and I completely concur, you must try this when visiting. The mains were New York Strip with some delicious fries and Barb had the Salmon with veggies. Yum! We started with a glass of Cava and the Avocado Carpaccio. I can't explain how flavourful the avocado was...really amazing stuff! Pricing was in line with other top tier restaurants in the area and in fact I would say lower than I expected given the quality of the food and service. We'll be regulars at Jellyfish for sure.

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.
