Take a lighter look at hearty Polish cuisine in an atmospheric and convivial restaurant in Glebe that attracts many Polish diners. Try Polish classics like Borsch ($9.90) and Pierogi ($15.90 entrée /$19.90 main). The dumplings come with a variety of fillings, and can be served fried or boiled. I enjoyed them both ways with fillings of white cheese and potato; and meat with stewed onion and bacon. I was more than a little tempted to try them filled with seasonal fruit for dessert too ($12.60), but luckily a flaming Kosciuszko ($9.50) (vanilla ice-cream with Polish savouries including chocolate coated ginger bread) went past the table at the critical moment. Mains include simpler pleasures like Placki ($19.90) or potato pancakes with mushroom sauce, as well as a lovely Kaczka ($27.90) or roast duck. Adventurous diners into pig fat should try the pot of Smalec ($6.50) ‘ a mixture of apples and onions fried in lard that you smear on rye bread. Take your own Polish Vodka or beer for a more authentic experience – the restaurant is totally BYO. Staff add to the atmosphere with Polish accents, stripy shirts, and a welcoming attitude.
