I have been coming to Poland with my Polish wife for over 25 years now. When I first came, the food in every restaurant was generally tasty and moreish.
But over the years, the standards seemed to decline in Polish restaurants and it became an...exception to the rule to get well made traditional Polish food. So much so that I began to eat international food, like burgers and pizzas when I came to Poland.
But this restaurant seemed a little different so I thought I would give such food a chance again. I ordered some cabbage rolls with meat and potatoes and my wife had some goulash with pancakes.
I had no great expectations after ordering it but began to notice the food of other diners around us. I have to say that it looked of a high standard with the presentation and portions sizes just right.
So when my food came I expected it to be nice. And it was! The cabbage was soft and the meat inside with the rice was tender and moist. The potatoes were also delicious with fresh dill covering them. This is to say nothing of the tomato sauce, which was rich and complemented the cabbage rolls perfectly, being just the right amount.
I also had a taste of my wife's goulash and pancakes and have to say that this was similarly lovely.
Oh, and the service was also of a high standard with pretty and friendly Polkas in traditional dress.
To conclude then, this restaurant took me back to my first experience of Polish food and has restored my faith in Polish food. Thank you, Gosciniec!More
