Their menu incorporates Russian foods as well, but I went to take Georgian dishes only. 9.5/10 - The Khatchapouri (basically fired dough with melted cheese, a sort of cheese pie) was practically perfect. Oily, crispy and a perfectly melted stringy cheese inside. 8.5/10 - The Blintchiki with cabbage (fried crepes with cabbage stuffed inside) and a side of cream-cheese was extremely good, like some crispy, oily, cabbage roll. It might have been slightly too oily but otherwise great. 4/10 - The Tolma (basically rice-stuffed grape leaves) were not on par at all with the usual Lebanese version. It was very mushy, it fell apart and the spices were odd. 8/10 - The Borscht (beet soup with vegetables) was fantastic, however I personally prefer the version with dumplings inside (i.e. Polish version). It was nonetheless very good and heart warming, however it had a more pronounced vegetable-like flavor than what you'd get from the Polish version. ~/10 - The Khinkali (meat-stuffed dumplings), I'll withhold judgement because I personally don't tolerate meat that's fatty and I also don't tolerate cilantro. However, if you like a more fatty beef stuffed into dumplings with cilantro, that's for you. 8.5/10 - The Chuchkella (walnuts coated by some sweet chewy roux/candy shell), it's extremely good and it's one of those things you could cut up into pieces and snack on them all day long. It's a unique flavor I personally never had before but I could summarize it as sweet-coated walnuts. As for the ambiance, it was very cozy. It has that oldschool classical brown & red decor and the place is very small. Overall, I give it a 8/10. Worth it. read more

My husband and I decided to visit here as part of our vacation to Montreal. We both had never had Georgian food and were looking for a new experience. Decor/Ambiance: The primary reason this is a 4 and not 5 star review is because the place is kinda tough on the eyes. It had some odd bright art and the background music was what we could only assume was a Russian pop music video station. Honestly, we ended up finding it charming but it will definitely raise a foodie's skeptical eyebrow. Wait staff: Out waitress was Russian, with a heavy accent and little reticent to suggest our dishes... but she knocked it of the park and beamed with pride over the food. There's really nothing like someone who cares about the place doing the serving. Food: So delicious. We can't speak to it's authenticity (first timers and all), but everything was delicious. I had the Chicken Kiev which came with a unique Georgian plum sauce that could make shoe leather delectable. My husband had a authentic Georgian beef dish (the name escapes me) cooked with garlic, spices and walnuts. It was also unique and delicious! We will definitely return in the event that we are back in Montreal. read more

Georgia - Russian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

See all

On a whim, me and the Missus decided on a night out on the town to sample the flavours of Georgia. Not the peach-tree Georgia but rather the ancient country of Georgia that is nestled between the shores of the Black Sea and the crumpled mountains of Azerbaijan. The menu offers plates from Georgia as well as other areas of the former Soviet Union but we tried to keep to a traditional Georgian meal plan. Entree: Khatchapouri - A baked cheese Kharcho soup - OMG the flavours! Main: Lamb Chachlyk - Brochettes Khinkali -Giant Georgian Dumplings! Desert: Tchourtchkhela- try saying that five times fast! The cheese entree was very basic and, sadly forgettable but the Khacho soup... oh my! The broth was rich and hearty and left the happiest of coatings on my glistening lips while the body of the soup fortified me with its delicious morsels of lamb, walnuts, barley and cilantro. Had this not been a civilized restaurant I'd have been smacking my lips like a gleeful medieval emperor at his royal birthday feast. What a great recovery from the lackluster start that was the Khatchapouri. What followed was only going to add to our delight. Promptly following our starters I had the lamb brochettes while the Missus was served 4 gigantic dumplings. My lamb, marinated to perfection and full of flavour was a bit on the overcooked side, but the Missus' dumplings ... oh ho! Those were fragrant with beef and cilantro redolent with the flavours of a caucasian summer. Absolutely wonderful! A bit of a side note here; I tricked the Missus into sharing two starters with the hopes that she might later feel too full to eat all her dumplings. Heehee; mission accomplished! The meal complete, we threw all caution to the wind and ordered a desert. Our shared Tchourtchkhela was essentially a plump fruit roll-up loaded with honeyed walnuts and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It was the perfect sweet and chewy finish to a wonderful meal. The service throughout the meal was the most professional that the Missus had experienced in a long while. Plates arrived in perfect time and order and our wine glasses were topped up with discretion. The ambiance itself was comfortable and a little anachronistic, almost like a pre-tourist-boom Europe. Eurovision flickered silently on the the giant wall-mounted screen behind me while a sixty-something year old violinist sat by the far wall and accompanied his eclectic and endearing playlist during the meal. read more

Amazing russian restaurant. The service was very good and the food, delicious. Yummy appetizers. Highly recommend

Absolute worst dining experience I've ever had anywhere. We went there for a late dinner on a Friday night and had to leave before the main course because after asking them to turn it down a few times because of static and feedback from the speakers, the music was ear splittingly loud. Someone brought out a drum and a fiddle and the loud thudding from dancing shook our table. There was a large family group and they decided to have karaoke night featuring hip hop music with the N-word. At that point we canceled the main course, asked for the cheque from our waitress who sheepishly apologized. I told her we had never been treated with so little regard or made to feel so unwelcome in any restaurant before. It was the most bizarre, unsettling experience and I would never recommend this place to anyone because that is not how you treat people. read more
