My wife is from Poland...so when we checked into this cute restaurant in Old Montreal, she felt like she had been shipped back to Krakow upon entering.
My wife has me hooked on borscht, and I have become quite the borscht snob. I have had beat soup from her mother and from a Greenpoint restaurant. So when I tasted this version, I looked up at my equally disappointed wife. It was as if they had just made some powdered beat soup they picked up from a local supermarket.
We were then given some pierogies, and score! They made up for the soup, with some deliciously made pierogies. We then had a few Polish beers to end a decent dining experience.
It is family run and the waiters were from Poland. They even had a strong accent and spoke the language to my wife.
Very cute place...loses 2 points for the awful soup, and at times slow service.
