This little Polish gem might easily be missed from the outside, but it’s a must-visit for those seeking out genuine Pierogi, Poland’s signature dish. At ‘Pierogi bitte,’ the filled (savoury and sweet) dumplings are on offer at the counter next to other Polish favourites, such as Barszcz (red beet soup) and croquettes.
Being the pierogi-lovers that we are, our expectations are high when we walk down the stairs and shout towards the counter – ‘Pierogi bitte!’ (see what we did there?).
We end up going for a choice of spinach pierogi and potato-curd-cheese pierogi. They’re served up with a side of various cabbages and are everything we’d hoped for – soft, juicy and oh so yummy.
‘Pierogi bitte’ really is all about offering up a true Polish experience, from the humble and homey interior, the selection of Polish vodka and beer, (even the tapped water) to the lady behind the counter – everything on display here is Polish.
Even though the place isn’t necessarily inviting for a longer stay, the Pierogi is definitely worth a quick pop-in.
