Great night out for authentic European cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Handmade desserts (cheese cake was our favorite), we each ordered something different from the menu and enjoyed our meals.

My Husband and a friend had a lovely lunch yesterday, July 19, at My Place. My Madras soup was delicious ( never had it before). It was a delight to be back after 4 years and it was just as good as I had remembered...it! The server was excellent; she heard us talking about our it being our friend's birthday and when his pecan pie was brought out it sported a candle and she led the whole restaurant in singing "Happy Birthday" to him - what a delight! Thank you! Looking forward to our next visit soon! Lorna Glennie, Ottawa, ONMore

One of my very favourite restaurants and still the best in the area for Eastern European food! Have had the wonderful schnitzels in the past and last night had two of the three different goulashs offered. I had the Szekely Goulash with a light gravy...and sour cream and dumplings which was fantastic! My partner had the classic Hungarian goulash which was also incredible. We also saw a lot of very yummy looking fish and chip platters going by which we will be back to try in the near future! The atmosphere is always very cozy and the service always stellar. I highly recommend reservations, we were there on a Saturday night and the place was packed!More

We enjoyed a family gathering to celebrate a special birthday and all 7 people ordered the Bohemian Schnitzel, which is a family favorite. Meal is very large with 2 pieces of pork so be sure to save some for takeout in order to have a...wonderful dessert. Great food and great service every time we visit.More

We chose this restaurant based on other reviews It is indeed a good place. A nit small, it reminded me of a small village restaurant. But the food is great,very tasty and huge portions. None of our family members were able to eat all their...food. I would have definitely taken the rest of my food as take out if I were not staying in a hotel for the night. Lots of variety food at reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed if you choose to go and try it out yourselves.More

The food and server were excellent, however… The restaurant is not licensed to serve alcohol, they do not take reservations after 6:30 pm and it takes a long time to get your food. We waited just shy of 1 hour to receive our order, 15...minutes to take the order and 45 to prepare it. When I brought it to the attention of the server she thought that was a normal amount of time to wait. If you have the time, don’t care to eat late and are ok with no alcoholic beverages, the food is great.More

I did previously enjoy this restaurant a few times, with a friends who was a "regular", and couldn't go anywhere else to get his wiener schnitzel. Yesterday, we were about 20 to enjoy the food. Most took the wiener schnitzel, some with sauerkraut, red cabbage...and/or dumpling, and also the famous Madras soup. Filling and delicious. Cooks and service were just amazing to serve us all in no time. There were no much space in our stomachs for desserts, but the owner offered to take out their fabulous home made apple strudel.More

My husband's mom lives in Smiths Falls, and when visiting, we wanted to take her out to lunch, but not to a chain restaurant. We checked at the tripadvisor, and there was My Place, described as "Eastern European" -- we were intrigued. Eastern European in...Smiths Falls? It was certainly worth trying, and we did not regret. It was a surprise to find a place in Smiths Falls with authentic Hungarian food. We had schnitzel, goulash and Pork Dracula, and all these tasted like homemade food, the kind people in Eastern Europe eat every day. That lunch brought back all kinds of memories for me. I should mention that apple strudel was delicious, and coffee was excellent.More
