Cafe Polonez

I have been coming to Cafe Polonez with my family for years. Being Polish I know what authentic Polish food tastes like and this is it!! This is truly a gem in the city. It really feels like coming home for me. I recommend Cafe Polonez to everyone, you just can't go wrong!!

FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL.

Great Polish food at a great price. I've been back numerous times and brought friends who have been back numerous times.

It was a great experience, since I only tried Polish food once. The cabbage rolls were delicious and came with all the fixens, including carrots, beets, potatoes and coleslaw. I really enjoyed everything on my plate. I will be back for sure! :)

This is a small quaint Polish restaurant with great service and delicious ethnic food. The staff is always accomodating with our large family of 12 every Good Friday.
The food and value are outstanding.

was not what I expected

THE BEST SOUPS IN THE CITY!!! Polish soups are great and the daily specials at Cafe Polonez always include a soup OR TWO of the day. Delicious and always homemade!

Excellent cabbage rolls – a perfect blend of rice and meat, wrapped in cabbage leaf and topped with tomato sauce. A Polish classic done right!

There’s a dish which includes a large potato pancake served with goulash. TO DIE FOR. This is the only thing my husband ever wants. I believe it’s called Hungarian style but I might be wrong.

The hunter stew uses top notch kielbasa mixed in with shredded sauerkraut. It has a wonderful hardy, early flavour and will definitely fill anyone’s craving for traditional Polish fare.

The hunter stew, as well as most other dishes on the menu, are available in half-sizes. Not many restaurants do this. It’s a great option!!! - especially for people trying Polish food for the first time and want to try a variety of items… or simply for smaller appetites.

The pierogi (one of the staples of Polish food) are very well done. So much so, in fact, that I believe they freeze them and supply them to local delis and supermarkets around the city.

I also enjoy the nalesniki (crepes served with your chose of cheese or fruit filling). A nice option for a main or a dessert.

Finally, drinks! Cafe Polonez offers a wide variety of delicious polish beers. Zywiec, Okocim, Lech, Tyskie, etc.

They also make their own traditional compote drink. It’s a fruit and water concoction that’s boiled in a pot with maybe some honey? I’m not sure. It’s very soothing. Usually served chilled but I’m sure you can ask for it heated if you prefer. It’s non-alcoholic, by the way.

Service is always very cheery and servers speak both Polish and English. Décor is simple and casual but always clean and well kept.

The owners sometimes shut down after Christmas/New Years for a few weeks so call ahead if you plan on going around then.

Nice family spot on Roncesvailles. Hearty food at a reasonable price.
