The best Polish food in Montreal (so far)
This past September 11, I turned 30. Leading up to the weekend I began to think where do I want to go out and eat in Montreal….I was in the mood for something small, a place in Old Montreal and maybe even something Eastern European. Stash Café was the answer….offering authentic Polish cuisine which brought back memories of our boyz trip to Krakow.
We sat on the wooden benches in back of the restaurant which was very much like Krakow, Poland. The place felt old (European old) and it was busy. They were out of Pilsner Urquell (which is a Czech beer) so I settled for a French (France) beer which was good. Jon, who’s half Polish, helped me with ordering and we loaded up on Placki (deep fried potato pancakes with sour cream on the side), sausage soup to begin and lots of Pierogis (dumplings stuffed with meat, cheese, cabbage served with sour cream on the side)
I felt like it took a long time to get the food but I was in good company. The beers were flowing and we exchanged stories of our days in Eastern Europe. The food at Stash Café is very hardy, lots of stews, cabbage; it’s perfect if you’re planning to go out drinking after. It was part of my strategy as I anticipated many birthday drinks so I needed a big meal to absorb the shock and awe of drinks that awaited me that night. It was my second time there and once again I left knowing that I will be back…..for more pierogis and more sausage soup!
