This is a family owned restaurant in Ville-Saint-Laurent..1 minute from Du College Metro and easy to find parking.
I have had only positive experiences with the restaurant. I was shocked to see the choices on the menu. Some of these items I would not consider, but after a leap of faith I was amazed.. for example the Herring Filet, I did not expect the fine taste, it wasn't fishy at all and I really loved it. If yo are fan of mushrooms I loved the Julien it's baked in cream mushroom sauce but packed with flavor. The one dish I hesitated because I've had it in the past ad a friend's place was the Borsch soup, Ican't say it's for everyone but this one was one of my favorite and I would reorder it (I have). Since I'm a mushroom lover I had to try the Chicken Kiev! Chicken filled with goodness... It melts i n your mouth. I can keep going on.. Duck rasputin will be my last but not least (more like my favorite).
The service was friendly and if you go on the weekend Friday night and Saturday the owners and other performers are on stage... I really like there was not extra charge and what great environment for group of friends or a date.
They did make some minor renovations, the place looks clean and well kept.

During Covid I have ordered a few times and I found that its really important to help out locals and especially ones that hidden gems in your local area. I try hard to switch it up as much as I can. I would recommend you give this one a try. I did find there portions very generous and you pay for quality (and the right kind of quantity).. Those living in the Ville Saint Lauren I would recommend ordering takeout, you can order it online. Uber if you must (I find it painful to have restaurants loose a % of there profits when they have so much overhead :( but it's an option. We all need to eat and why not eat with a cause #helpinglocals
