Darwin PalmaJanuary 25, 2018Bring 3 (or even 5!) friends and GET THE PLATTER! So good! All the good food you want to try here. It says Platter for 4 but it could serve more
Gabriel SeahFebruary 14Ukrainian borscht daily soup: tasty with dill, sweetness from beets & lots of shedded beet & cabbage. Added texture from beans too. It didn't come with sour cream, but had a few slices of bread
Random GuyAugust 14, 2014As close to a polish grandmother's food as you can get in thus city. Authentic and delicious. The traditional polish staple foods are cooked to perfection. Great place to grab a piece of Poland
Jacek KMarch 6, 2016Excellent food and HUGE portions, service was nice, although a bit slow. Barszcz z uszkami and Polish shnitzel were very good, but bigos was excellent - easily one of the best that I ever had.
Lau VilOctober 9, 2017We had an amazing dinner last night! The service was quick, the portions were generous. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you want to taste something typical from Eastern Europe.
Samantha MDecember 29, 2014Perogies and cabbage rolls were awesome.. The food is really really good and very filling but save some room for the strawberry crepes.
- Gabriel SeahFebruary 14The Polish hamburger had a tasty fried meat patty but the bun was overly stuffed with toppings so it was hard to eat as a burger. It came with ketchup, mayo & mustard on the side for takeout.
- Charles RobertMarch 8, 2014Best Polish food in Toronto! I go to Poland every summer and this is about as authentic as if gets. Their red Barszcz (borscht) and pierogis are my favourite!
Adam PeleshokAugust 19, 2014Just the right amount of price mixed with taste mixed with Polish authentication. Definitely worth going to for a nice easy dinner. Pierogies are really good and something you need to incorporate
EdJuly 1, 2016Herring appetizer was good - had it as my main course and was quite satisfied. The Hunters Stew is also amazing-fried sauerkraut, sausage, pork - amazing.
HarperCollinsCaNovember 21, 2012Who doesn't love homemade perogies? At Café Polonez they come in 4 flavours, served under a blanket of bacon and sauteed onions. Find this Polish comfort food gem in the You Gotta Eat Here cookbook! Read more- Charles ChanMay 18, 2015First time here and got the Potato pancakes with goulash. Amazing. Perogies and borscht were top notch too. Must come back for seconds!
RApril 6, 2019we tried zhurek (white polish borscht) and sauerkraut and pork meat pierogi, and everything was delicious
Maria EvaSeptember 11, 2011In my opinion this is the best Polish spot on Roncesvalles. The Polonez schnitzel is my favourite (it's huge!) and the white borscht is great, too.
Marius ButucNovember 3, 2014Try a Zywiec: made only out of malted barley, hops and pure mountain water. Zywiec. Always from Zywiec.
Jamie BaxterDecember 19, 2014Potato pancakes are of the mashed variety, not shredded (like latkes). Be careful with their schnitzel; it's enormous like many other establishments!
Eric ShineMarch 25, 2016Amazing polish food with huge portions! Very accommodating for dietary needs and flavors.- Gabriel SeahFebruary 14This place serves simple Polish food & prices are affordable. Not all the staff here speak English so that might slightly delay your experience.
Edward ChoApril 9, 2010Try the Hungarian potato pancake instead of the pork goulash inside, ask for the veal paprikash. It's the closest thing to a dish I had in budapest I can find here in Toronto.- Bart RybarczykOctober 15, 2013This is best polish restaurant in Toronto. I highly recommend Hungarian pancake
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014- Jen MarosticaSeptember 27, 2011Order the white borscht, sausage & bean goulash AND of course the potato and cheddar perogies
Natalie AnnSeptember 20, 2010Anything you have here will be amazing, especially the soups, schnitzels and ground meat cutlets.
Obadiah PoundageJune 29, 2012Try something from "You Gotta Eat Here!": Borscht, Chlodnik, Mieso Pierogi, or Crepes
NonworkingmonkeyMarch 21, 2010Be wary of the meat dumplings. Delicious but for men that work the field. Goulash and potato pancake super duper. Also the schnizel. Uh huh
Patricia ShengJune 2, 2010I would start with meat pierogies, then barszcz soup with uszkas and any schnitzel.
Vanessa GJanuary 22, 2012Hungarian pancake was amazing. Schnitzel on a bun left a lot to be desired. Not much flavour and the bun was stale
BaksAugust 25, 2010+1 For the Potato Pancake with goulash inside. Order with a bottle of Zywiec or Lech.
