I got some good hearty food here, smoked meats or good chicken breast all with things like potato or dumplings, so they were hearty meals despite the high prices. They did seem rather bland though in comparison to the food I had at Alchemy (it's been a long time since I went to Poland but I remember some things like soups being very flavoursome). For straight up meat and potatoes, places like Tommy's up the road are better value.
The pork loin stuffed with prunes is my favourite! I get it each time I go here, I love it. Cute, cosy restaurant with traditional Polish decor (and lots of interesting little things on display to look at).
It is very small and unfortunately the tables are way too close together (that is my only complaint).
(Possible real rating: 3.5/5)
A mate of mine suggested Polish one cold night. So I thought, why not! So in the middle of October, admittedly it was 16 degrees celsius, we went.
The interior was so typical Polish countryside! Love it! Service was prompt, friendly but lacking real professionalism. Not that it matters to me!
We had to ask for the drinks menu, oh dear, as it wasn't given to us first. They ran out of mead or honey wine. It such a big shame as mead is important to Polish cuisine. So I settled for the mulled wine, which was perfectly suited to the weather!
I decided to get soup to start on with. I got Flaczki; a traditional Polish tripe soup! Hands down, my favourite dish of the night! Tripe was generous and the broth was spiced wonderfully!
Next up, Bigos! The national dish of Poland! Ok my mate got it and he liked it. I got the duck. It was half a duck! What the duck!!! Came with kopytka (a potato gnocchi like thing), Kapusta (stewed red cabbage sauerkraut) and a side salad. I finished it! Don't judge! Was good but skin wasn't roasted to a crisp.
Although I should of stop, I decided to have Nalesnik; a crepe filled with plum jam served with ice cream on the side for some reason. Hey it worked!
I would probably recommend it to others who want to try something out of the blue. Polish cuisine is not very popular. Or those who wants a decent feed! I might go back and maybe try the Bigos. Hopefully they'll have have mead in stock!
