617 Decarie Blvd, Saint-Laurent, Quebec H4L 3L2, Canada
Eastern European restaurant serving a mix of traditional dishes know around Europe and a selection of Mediterranean dishes.
I am shocked at the rudeness of this restaurant. Be VERY VERY careful what you order because the add or smother food in things that are not listed like 0an fried mushrooms on Perogies. I ordered the perogies and because I saw in the photo it has green onions on it I added NO onions, NO green onions and NO shallots to the allergy list. The man first said wheni called that mushrooms comes on every order, I informed him as a Master Chef that he must by law, list the items that come with food or place warnings. Once he realized what I said he then said he didn't want me to have plain potato and cheese perogies and added mushrooms as a favor. I told him again, it's not allowed. He started to yell at me and blame me for his mistake. Horrible customer service and failing to take responsibility for doing something he shouldn't have. He even said, what if the perogies were made with mushroom flavored flour ..LOL. THERE IS NO SUCH THING!! I do NOT recommend this establishment.
It was our first time in this restaurant. We arrived shortly before closing and therefore took only tea and dessert, which turned out to be very very tasty. Great service. The waiter Slava was very polite and gave good advice to my friend regarding the order. And the restaurant is incredibly clean, everything just shines and sparkles. I'll definitely go back there again.
First time trying Russian food, and I have to say: I loved it. Very cozy restaurant - if you go Saturday night, you might be able to enjoy some Russian music live. Very friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely recommend the place and come back again if I have the opportunity.
One of the best Russian resturant in Montreal. We reserved a table for a Saterday (for our family post Covid - backing to normal life party🤣🤣) and the owner was kind enough to give us party menu although we were a small group.We reached there at 7pm and non of us thought that we would stay there for 5 hours. Our table was filled with very delicious Russian appitizers and salads (Egg plant roll was astonishing 🤪- Jouline was extra ordinary🥰🤩 ). Overall the tastes of all the meals were great and resturant serve them on time in a proper maner and size.Delsious food plus great music and dancing place made the expirence unforgetable 🥰🥰🥰 . They also packed all left overs for us upon our request and it means we had a chance to eat tasty meal the next day too🤗🤗🤗.10 from 10 . I have a plane to make a biger party there very soon 🥳🥳🎊🍻👯♀️🥂👯♂️stay tuned. Update 30 July 2022: I went there with my international family (USA-Iran-Russia) once more and the experience was amazing🤗🤗. I resereved for party menu for 8 people for Saterday night. My family were in love with great music, tasty foods and positivity. The singer could sang in many launguages and owner also sang that night. We all danced like there would be no tomorrow💃💃. My whole family were obsessed😎. Make sure to reserve before going and do not lose your chance to have great russian party 😍😍🥰
Absolutely delicious. We ordered out to eat in the backyard and everyone in my family loved it. The eggplant filled with cheese is amazing. My dad didn’t want to share his beef stroganoff because he loved it too much. Everything was perfect, we will go there again. Very happy to support local family business.
Absolutely delicious traditional Russian food. We had Cesar salad and Pelmini with a main dish of cabbage rolls and Kiev chicken, Napoleon cake and everything was fantastic. Terrace was quiet and service was quick. I look forward to come back soon!
Good food and great multinational music, with the convenience of metro proximity. The only down side was that they told us each order should be at least 25$, but I guess it was to compensate for the weekend live music, which was worth it.
Excellent place to try Russian cuisine. Parking in front by meters only. The place is not big, but quite cozy. Typical Russian menu, good choice of drinks, nice service in French, English, Russian. Borscht, Turkey breast, blinchiki, and dessert (honey cake) were awesome! Pirogi were a bit dry. I've been there 4 times. I recommend to visit if you crave delicious Russian food.
Great food and amazing atmosphere.
Food is disappointing
Incredible experience I recommend!! The food was simply delicious and full of flavor! We got a free shot of vodka for our first time in the restaurant and it was the best vodka ever! The waiter was super nice, he even taught us a few phrases/words in Russian. This is a wow for me!
Excellent Russian and Eastern European cuisine. Lamb skewer, beef stroganoff and exquisite borsh soup.
I like Russian food. I have many friends from Eastern Europe: Ukraine, Russian Federation, Belarus, Moldova. And I have tasted their food, being their guests (home made food). But the food prepared at Majeur (Rasputin) was out of that wolrd, very delicious, that gave me a big surprise (usually, restaurant food is inferior to homemade one.) I am talking about food of Ukrainian origine: Borsch and Golubtsi. Great, calm ambiance, nice background music, friednly staff. What more: they offer Vodka of the best brand existing in Russian Federation (my modest opinion) - vodka Stolichnaya. Have to be tasted combined with Russian food! I really enjoyed that place. Strongly recommend to people wanting to taste Eastern-Eauropean food!
Yummy food and great presentation. Recommend
Amazing food, the service from our kind waitress was simply perfect. Music and singer was great. Definitely recommend for your group dinners! Thank you so much!
Terrible food,I wouldnt go back new owner . Owner doesnt care about his customers .Staff rush to bring all your food at the same time entrees and meals .You have to get up to request water service is terribly slow.
I had my wedding there and we had an amazing time! Food, service, decoration and music were fantastic. Slava (owner) and his wife, Olga were very kind, patient and helpful during the organizational process.
We had a great dinner with our friends. Everyone had a chance to try different dishes. The best one was a beef stroganoff. Highly recommend visiting this place. Food : 5/5 |
Delicious food. Courteous service. Pleasant ambiance.
Loved this restaurant!
Absolutely fantastic. This was the best goulash that I have in my life. The stuffed chicken was good as well but not as remarkable as the goulash. Im very happy with the quality of the food. Its pricey, but you get what you pay for!
With all my respect but, very sad
We really enjoyed this place. We tried a variety of dishes all of which were delicious. The borscht was out of this world, the raznasol is fresh, tangy and delicious, the pierogies were just incredible. Really excellent overall. Beautiful presentation. You should try it.
Theyve unfortunately lost their once-charming ambiance and overall quality. Its disappointing about a week ago marked my final visit.
From soup to dessert very satisfied and thank you for the explanations
The only russian restaurant in town that go beyond the best
epic, the beef stroganoff was excellent, the staff friendly, cozy atmosphere.
Very good and affordable for the service I have the impression of being in a very expensive gourmet restaurant its good and whats more its very beautiful
The ambiance and food is exemplary! I didn t give one more star as their behavior is not that friendly!!
Super
Fantastic place
Delicious European cuisine and very good service. Always a great welcome!
I really liked the atmosphere, the music and especially the Schnitzel. I strongly recommend it.
I had my bridal shower, it was amazing the food was delicious!
Food is not the best part of our experience but service, atmosphere, music group, all were amazing Kid-friendliness: Chicken strips and fries Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor restaurant
The service is very warm. I believe that as a customer you feel like someone special. Also good place to practice your Russian!
All about this place is 5 star. Perfect food quality (chicken broschet was super amazing). The vibe is perfect. DJ accomodates everyones ask for songs. Servers are kind & attentive. Owner is very kind & caring as well. He ensures best service is provided. We have been here multiple time and every sinhle one of them was amazing.
First and Best place that reminds me my native country and home
Excellent
Nice food! If you would like to try russian food, definitely the spot
Great Eastern European food. My husband and friends tried it and came back blown away from the service and food.
Great place to have dinner. Thanka to Slava, who is great with service. Have enjoyed my evening.
This place blew me away. There is something simple yet refined about their food. Best borscht Ive ever tried. Pelmenis were also on point -- comparable to some of the best dim sum Ive had. Place was cozy and quiet, a nice gentleman served us.
Merci!
Excellent food, traditional, amazing
Good one
One of my favorite places. Exemplary menu, everything is absolutely delicious!!!
Food is absolutely amazing, reminds me of real home cooked meals. Very good prices for drinks too.
The google was not updated. I drove all the way to this restaurant and it was closed.
Place was closed recently, the door was lock and all light were turn off. I missed my chance
Great atmosphere, fresh and tasty food. Impeccable service. An exceptional experience.
Great experience.
Excellent service. Food a bit ordinary but at least original.
It was really good The dishes were delicious. Good service.
Fantastic service and delicious food. One of my favourite restaurants by far!
Food wow, service wow, ambience wow. For an authentic Russian kitchen, here is the perfect place.
Good was great and same with the service!
A truly remarkable and unforgettable experience! The dishes are prepared with care, love, and authenticity and are all absolutely delicious!!! We enjoy a perfect atmosphere for a romantic evening or a meal with friends/family. The service is courteous, warm, and attentive. In addition, on Saturdays, a music group livens up the evening with enthusiasm! This restaurant is a gem, clean and original, which is worth the detour.
Very good service, like the russian soup and lamb brochette, really tasty, the isreal wine is beyond expectation as well!
One of the best Russian restaurants in Canada
Very good atmosphere and the owner even gave us shots of vodka on the house and the food is excellent
Good place
Thank you Slavik for a pleasant and cool restaurant, I recommend it to everyone)))) Glory to Ukraine
Très bonne adresse et une excellente référence pour des mets traditionnels de lEurope de lest. Cuisine roumaine, moldave, russe etc. Pour des soirées inoubliables entre familles et amis... Réservez la salle les week-ends. Karaoké, petits shows et scène de danse disponible. Je recommande pour une belle découverte gastronomique et festivités.
Great place, russian perfect cuisine and good music ,i recomend
Absolutely delicious food. Everything was fresh and well cooked, packaged well and definitely worth the wait. 10/10.
A total surprise, the food is really good and the service is excellent, I will come back! Theres even free vodka for the first visit!
Very, tasty, cozy. Well done, well done.
I really liked the restaurant, good cuisine, excellent music. accompaniment, friendly staff, enough space. Thanks for your time!
I was looking to have soup around 11ish Saturday evening and this place up in my search. After kitchen was closed they were sweet enough to make me hot fish soup And I am loved it They only reason I am giving them 4 star is bcoz I am yet to their food! But customer excellent
I found this restaurant while looking for a new culinary experience, and I didn t regret it. The whole experience was awesome. Starting g from the table setting, the service, the house wine, and the table d hôtes were excellent. The final coffee was not the traditional plain drink you would end your meal with. And we got complimentary chocolate too. Eating there felt like the Europe family owned placed you would try back on the old continent. I would highly recommend it, and would definitely go back. Bravo to the owners.
Super Restaurant)) Ukrainians, Russians are brothers!!!! I recommend!!! Biden And now I ll show you where the dumplings wanted to attack my mouth Lukashenko...
Excellent restaurant serving European and Russian cuisine. A find on the island
Eggplant with cheese ($9) Hungarian goulash: beef in a spicy paprika sauce ($22) Honey cake ($9) Very classy place, a little too expensive personally but it was pretty good! The starter was soooooo good!
Unique
I was in a big group, even with the reservation, maybe they were not prepared for it. The manu was not the same as in the website. Also, after we ordered, it took too long gor the food to get ready. On the other hand, the staff was very calm and nive with everybody.
Very good restaurant with traditional Russian dishes. Atmosphere also very Slavic ( ). The owner is warm and the waitress is very attentive. Every time when I go, they really do a good job, not like in medicore restaurants (3brasseurs for example) where people come to see you once every 3 hours and ask for tips or sometimes even without asking, they put the 15%.
Wonderful family time. Warm atmosphere and delicious dishes!
Loved the Russian cuisine as my first experience. The steak was amazing with a spicy accompaniment. My husband beef with veggies dish was as good.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere, clean restaurant.
If you want to have fun and enjoy of great night this is the place food was very good also
Nice ambiance, great food!
Belle découverte. Livraison à domicile durant la Covid. Nous avons été impressionnés par la qualité « fait maison » de la nourriture. (Salade roquette, pierogi, brochette d agneau, patates, choux farcis, b uf strogonof, tout était délicieux! Il y avait du pain, de la crème sure et même des petits chocolats.) Nous allons recommander certainement.
Fantastic service and delicious food!
Its covid time. I was out on a walk and had an I need a bathroom moment. Rasputin obliged, I then bought a borscht, because why not, and it was legit authentic; just like my moms. Nicely done on both the soup and on being human.
Great food
Ordered Pelmeni, Vareniki, Oladii, Golubtsi, Chnitzel. Everything we had was delicious.
Excellent service and food! Owner is passionate and checked up on us every 5 minutes. Fresh ingredients, will definitely come back
Excellent food and service
Very interesting place. My first russian restaurant.
The best atmosphere of all Russian restaurants in Montreal.
Excellent and refined dishes and service. I will go back there, for sure!! Thanks to the owner who came to offer us the first shot of vodka and toast with us. I really appreciated it!!
Always a really fun place to visit. Great food and music
Very cozy and reasonably priced place, with delicious food
Excellent food and impeccable service. Prices are affordable. I highly recommend.
Was very excited to try this restaurant . BUT Owner Canceled my reservation last minute without any consideration, rude and unprofessional ! Anyone looking for a great Russian restaurant is to try this lovely restaurant : Ermitage
Great experience! Tasty dishes. Friendly owner.
I finally tried this place, as I love eastern European food. Just to get a broad sampling, I ordered a borscht, piroshkis, perogies and pelmene. The borscht is an explosion of flavor - delicious. I also loved the pelmene. Almost as good as my bubbys! I did feel a little out of place, given that the place was full of Russians (always a good sign in a Russian restaurant lol) in their going-out clothes and I was just walking by dressed shorts and a T-shirt. No matter, the owner and wait staff were super-friendly. Great food, not too pricy, pleasant service even when busy... great spot.
Calm an relaxing environment. The service was great and the food was excellent! Will be back for sure!
Waited over 20 minutes for service, no one was there.
Delicious food, perfect service Authentic dishes with a warm welcome Highly recommended to anybody who is hungry for hearty homemade dishes.
An amazing place, better than my grandmother s, could I have imagined that I would find such beauty so far from home. 10/10, bring all your friends, you wont regret it.
Authentic experience of Russian food and hospitality that has been going on for 14 years. Friendly and generous owner. I highly recommend.
Omg! First time tryin Russian cuisine and I am glad I went to this restaurant. Food is really good. I tried their dumpling and the shrimp and beef with cream sauce.
I went with my husband and son and daughter in law last night, it was amazing. The service, the food , we just can t wait to go back ! Had the beef stroganoff which was delicious . Nothing is overpriced, it all makes sense. The 4 of us highly recommend it
Just great!
very Russian! good food, lots of choice Very kind and efficient staff Good place to discover this cuisine not so different from Quebec but full of new tastes
It was our first experience and we were very happy with the excellent service and all the food was delicious
Great restaurant!!
Super atmosphere
I went there for the first time today and Im really impressed! The welcome was very warm, we chatted a little, the golubtsi were served with lots of rice, salad and sour cream, the honey cake was sweet, and finally, they had the Ochakovski kvass which I already knew, it is fantastic! All for a very reasonable price. Ill come back to try something else!
Very good restaurant, the food is simply delicious
An excellent place to have fun w/live music and thoughtful hosts :)
Great service, great vibe good food
Every time I go to Rasputin - its unforgettable experience! Food is delicious, its real home made! All those salads and meats! Service is always excellent! The best time to go to this restaurant is on Friday and Saturday as there is a live music! Owners are singing too! And you dance your night away!!! Parties are great at this restaurant! I recommend this restaurant to people who enjoy eastern European cuisine and feisty atmosphere with music and dance!
Very pleasant atmosphere and service.
Called on monday to make a reservation for Wednesday. They took our phone number, name and everything. On Wednesday when we arrived restaurant was closed and when we called they denied ever speaking to us. Never going back
Excelent food! The perogis were awesome, I had the shrimp and beef and it was outstanding, the service was the best one in Montreal, a must go guys!
Nice, quiet and cozy restaurant. Beef stroganoff was delicious.
Delicious food, beautiful presentation, excellent service. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to have a beautiful time. Dont hesitate visit them during this COVID situation, they have all the measures needed for protect you.
I have ordered strogonoff, and there are no adjectives to compliment how great the dish was. It was extremely flavourful, by far the best strogonoff I have ever had in my life. On top of the delicious food, the service provided by the owner has been remarkable. Whenever I am back to Montreal, I am going back to this place.
Good but very expensive
Excellent food and service.
We ordered takeout from this cute little place last week - the food was delicous!! It is the first time we try this restaurant, but it definitely wont be our last. Everything was so tasty, from the appetizers to the dessert - we definitly would recommend it. As well, we had a chance to speak with the family who owns it, and they are just as wonderful. We cant wait to eat there in the dining room, as we saw they have entertainment as well. Definitely rate this gem a 5 star! Thank you!
Ordered Oladi, Small pancakes topped with smoked salmon and red caviar, verniki Russian dumplings filled with potatoes and cheese, salmon with rice, all delicious and yummy!
I Ordered Schnitzel, Hungarian Goulash and Vareniki. I have had Goulash soup before in Prague, there it was different, the Hungarian one seems to have more herbs, is thicker and is more like a sauce. Still very tasty though, a lot of flavor and meat was nice and tender. Another dish that I have gotten from them is Borsch, really amazing and satisfying wintery soup. Their pelmeni are also good, when I have bought pelmeni from the Russian store my stomach would hurt after but Rasputin s pelmeni are much better, definitely different quality. Order has come usually with some black bread and butter.
Great service, super tasty, fresh and good quality food, very clean. I definitely recommend to go there !
Good ambience, relatively fast service and tasty food. Plan to go for dinner and not lunch since the menu then has more choices. There are live performance at night too. Remember to make a reservation!
Delicious menu, reasonable prices, nice and friendly service.
A place where you can try Russian dishes such as borscht, fried fish soup. Russian salads. Calm atmosphere Nothing special.
Good food, nice staff. Nice evening
Amazing people
Delicious!
Warm and comforting food
disgusting attitude towards customers and children.
Atmosphere and food
Perfect for a group or office party, dance floor.
We celebrated our wedding there, it was simply magnificent!
We loved it here. Fresh and quality food, reasonable prices. Good service. Eggplants, dumplings, and goulash were extra delicious.
Good service and food. Nice place to eat and have a good time! Recommend.
Excellent! My wife and I tried it for the first time last night. The decor was warm and inviting, the owner welcomed us as soon as we walked in, then we sat and looked at the menu. There are many dished to chose from but we went for the Solyanka and Borscht. Both Excellent. The Pelmeni were fantastic as well. The real highlight however was my wifes Goulash!! Ive never had better. I had the cabbage rolls and they were probably some of the best Ive ever had. All in all, between the warm service, and the excellent food, it gets 5 stars. If youve never had Russian food then this is a great place to start.
Very nice place to throw in a party (reservation required). Excellent menus.
The best Russian restaurant in Montreal. Gorgeous cuisine. (Respect to the chef)
Elegant for the area
The standard is average, salads and soups are very good, main dishes are 0k
Super food and a good music.
Great food and atmosphere.
Amazing food!! The stroganoff was to die for. There was so much food offered, and the server was friendly.
Exceptional dishes and a warm atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The food is very delicious. I often come here to eat and invite friends over to share the delicious food. The environment is elegant.
Not a great experience. Was disappointed because the reviews were so good.
Seriously...... Another real gem!!!!! If you like and want to eat authentic Eastern European food, including Russian... try this place for lunch... Its good! The chicken snitzel, and the pork chop dish were plentiful and delicious. Cost wise lunch meals between 14-18 $
I wasnt super impressed. Not a bad place but I didnt leave the place thinking I have to come back here it was super quiet, I liked that. Oldish design, not a bad point for me. The fact that the waitress made a mistake with my order didnt help. I give this place a meh score
The gentleman who welcomes you is very welcoming and the meal is very good in addition to excellent service during receptions
There are many choices of food and they are delicious. The service attitude is super good. I will come again in the future.
Good food and friendly owner. Very flexible with orders and even choice of music when no band is playing
GOOD
Excellent service and very tasty food, great live entertainment on Friday and Saturday.
Great service, great food, great music!
