"Menu catchphrase: 'Where Old Montreal's stone walls meet old Poland's cuisine.'""
Michael Stern
"Stash's wiener schnitzel is listed on the menu as Sznycel Wiedenski, and described as 'The glory of Habsburg's gourmet, made now as then from the tenderest veal and served Warsaw style.' However it is spelled or labeled, it is one very delicious crisp-fried cutlet."
Michael Stern
"Pierogi are served as an entree. The classic Polish dumplings are available filled with meat, cheese, or cabbage. Customers are encouraged to choose a mixture of all three."
Michael Stern
"Tender, vividly-spiced shredded beets are a terrific companion for the sznycel Wiedensky."
Michael Stern
"Potato pancakes, known as placki, are served savory or sweet. The crunchy cakes are the same; the difference is what comes with them: sour cream or apple sauce."
Michael Stern
"The borscht is simplicity itself, a bright beety broth without meat or potatoes, presented with a dish of sour cream on the side."
Michael Stern
"A layer cake in a class of its own: chocolate poppy seed. Rich? Forget about it!"
Michael Stern
"Stash's is a cozy place in the old city where newcomers to Polish food are invited to have 'sampler meals' that include several specialties, one featuring wild boar followed by cream-slathered fruit squares, another built around a collage of bigos (hunter's stew), potato pancakes, and pierogi."
