Christopher SealMay 22, 2015Been a few times now and can't fault it. Excellent service, lovely interior and everything I've eaten has been delicious. Last time I went I had the steak tartare to start and that was spot on.
- Bruno GremezJanuary 10, 2019I loved this place in Southwark: the neighbourhood is less formal than the center of London and the restaurant serves some tasteful Baltic/Slavic food: I tried the marinated herring and the cod. Top!
Very Good ServiceJanuary 31, 2016Very good service in this Polish Restaurant, a stone throw from Blackfriars Bridge. Modern room, interesting menu with lots of polish food to chose from in this East European Restaurant.
Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Fantastic vodka! The Dill and Vodka infused salmon starter was excellent! The Rabbit was also delicious. Try lots of the vodkas. They're so good!
Joshua MawApril 2, 2019Lovely food and great pre-theatre menu. The restaurant doesn’t open til 5:30 but front of house is a bar which you can sit in before that. Service was perfect and vodka menu was superb- Jonathan SnookJuly 4, 2017Everything was absolutely fantastic. The pierogis, the cod, the spaetzel, and more. We ordered a bunch of plates and shared, which worked out great.
- Nate MooreFebruary 22, 2018Excellent service and food. Good value set lunch. Atmosphere is beautiful...don’t be fooled by appearances from the main road: it’s Airey and modern inside.
Magdalena WelczOctober 21, 2019Amazing when you fancy polish food, but don’t want a cheap diner vibe. We loved all mains and starters. Would skip the cheesecake; its far from traditional: more like adjusted UK version.
The best Polish restaurant in London!! Stake tartar, goose leg, hunters stew, herring and rabbit are delicious!! Bar has also really nice selection of vodkas and great cocktail list. Na zdrowie!!!;-)- prima filiMarch 25, 2017Really hearty flavourful food... if you get starter+mains you won't have space for dessert! The vodka and cocktails list is incredible. Cool place!
Ieva BarauskaiteNovember 22, 2014Not too many vegetarian options in the menu, but still a friendly, cozy and entertaining place. They have a huge choice of vodkas!
Mark DanforthOctober 28, 2017Pork shank & braised sauerkraut. Also, they have many wonderful vodkas so sit at the bar and ask questions!
Sam AminMay 10, 2015Experiment with a few of the different vodka shots. They're amazing. I didn't find them that strong, but your mileage may vary :). Blinis really good too.
Karolina LarionovaApril 10, 2015Loved the food and the atmosphere is so cozy... definitely gonna come back!!! The Rose and Raspberry drink is simple but refreshing
Jason QuarisaJune 12, 2018Lovely restaurant and decor. Huge cocktail and drinks menu. Traditional polish cuisine which is not everyone’s type. Large portions and helpful staff.
Jill FitzpatrickDecember 18, 2014This is a fantastic place. Food is good & everything is reasonably priced. Best part- the private dining room. We had a group of 12 & it was perfect
MasMarch 16, 2013Had the smoked salmon blinis and the Siberian pelmeni in the bar section and it was absolutely delicious. Great vibe in the bar section as well along with great service.
hello_emilySeptember 19, 2015The pierogies were great, really liked the smoked eel salad and the blinis as well. And try the cherry vodka - delicious! 🍒
TeeOctober 27, 2014The pelmeni and pierogis are so hearty and delicious! Really enjoyed the hunter's stew too.
Valentina CiolinoAugust 21, 2015The staff was really nice and we had a great dinner. Herring and pierogi a must have, chocolate plum dessert also great.
Jenya SJune 26, 2016Decor - a bit austere. Live music on Sundays is nice. Menu is varied with much Polish influence. Starter of crayfish was good, smoked eel & blinis with keta just OK. Duck leg - yum! Lamb is just OK.
All kinds of flavoured vodkas and tasty snacks from the Eastern European tradition
Dave MarshallOctober 27, 2015Amazing vodka bar, good for dates. Menu is often ok, but never perfect. Try the polish vodkas so vibrant.
AlexJanuary 12, 2013They'll also sell you their home-made flavoured vodka by the bottle to take away, just ask nicely :) I recommend the wisniowka (cherry).
Time Out LondonMay 2, 2012With a small square of front terrace, a modern bar and a grand, sunken restaurant, this little piece of Poland has been a worthwhile stop on Waterloo bar crawls for many a year. Read more
CaterinaSeptember 14, 2014When they come to your table with the bread basket try to get as many slices as possible. You won't get a second chance.
Marcelo CastroMarch 31, 2017Simply divine. Food is perfect, atmosphere is contagious and service is great and friendly.- Hanne BeckOctober 26, 2018Really enjoyed the dumplings! The pelmeni and pierogies - very good. Plus nice polish beer!
Chris O'SheaSeptember 30, 2010Hunter's stew is excellent, as is the Polish soup whose name I forget. Booked a lunch for 22 people, and they printed special menus just for us "Dominic's Leaving Lunch", cool!
Alice CornellSeptember 28, 2014The service, the vodka (oh my goodness the vodka) and the chocolate and plum desert - immaculate
RichardMarch 1, 2013Superb selection and since half the family is Polish, it's safe to say it is truly authentic!! Great place.
Lawrence ChmaraJuly 25, 2010Go to Baltic for a good selection of Polish food and friendly service. Some of the furniture could do with a spruce but impressive range of vodkas and the jazz evenings could be worth checking out too Read more
Best pelmeni in town! Long Island ice tea and Sex On The Beach are average, but Daiquiri is awesome!!!
Great lunch place. Excellent value for money. Nice service. Nice design
Nathan JessopDecember 10, 2015Traditional Polish food with a modern twist. The six course menu paired with their selection of in-house vodka is a must.
Rory BrownNovember 11, 2010Good restaurant for post-theatre meal after the National. get there before 11 to order restaurant food. We got there on the dot of 11 and were a bit rushed.
James Pimentel-PintoAugust 2, 2012The best place for vodka in london in my mind. Custom mixed vodkas and dangerously attractive staff are a lethal mix though....
Morgans Hotel GroupJuly 30, 2012The unassuming entrance hides a fantastic restaurant space and bar which serves its housemade vodka range
Sam StarlingNovember 19, 2012The Baltic Manhattan and the roast beetroot (side) are both big winners
