Restaurant polonès PolkaBar — Restaurant in Barcelona

I hadn’t tried Polish cuisine before, so my review isn’t based on a comparison with other Polish restaurants.

There was a good variety of dishes on the menu. We tried their dumplings - are two kinds: one with meat and one with cheese and potatoes. Both were good, but if I go again, I’d probably only get the cheese and potato one; it was really delicious.

From the starter menu, we also had the potato pancakes, which came with local cheese on the side. I especially loved the cheese (we even asked for its name - I’ll buy it if I can find it. It has been called Twarog. It is mixed white cheese with Nata) The potato pancakes were quite large in size.

We also ordered goulash - of course. It came thicker than I expect - better than goulash soup at all. It was made with mushrooms, meat, and eggplant, and served with a large fried potato pancake on the side. It was a very filling dish. The eggplant and meat could have been a bit softer, but overall, it tasted good.

They have many types of Polish beers and non-alcoholic drinks too; I tried the banana-pineapple one.

We also ordered apple pie which was different than classical apple pies. Instead of sugar, it tastes more apple, made me feel like I am eating a good apple. Dessert itself is shown a simple one but I liked it. Recommended.

The staff member, she was very kind and friendly.

Overall, we were very satisfied with the food and the service, and it was nice to experience a new cuisine. I would definitely go back for their dumplings and fried potato pancakes whenever I...

Indulging in a delectable Polish feast, it became evident that every aspect of the meal was steeped in the essence of homemade authenticity. The flavors resonated with a sense of tradition and care, painting a culinary portrait that felt like a cherished family recipe passed down through generations.

The distinctive taste of the beers served added an element of uniqueness to the experience, each sip revealing intricate flavors that tantalized the palate. Notably generous in portion size, the beers perfectly complemented the hearty meal.

As a fitting finale, the apple pie dessert emerged as a true standout. Its exquisite preparation and delightful balance of flavors elevated it to a level of perfection that left an indelible mark on the dining experience.

With such a memorable encounter, it's safe to say that a return to this culinary haven is inevitable. The promise of reliving these exceptional flavors and the warm embrace of genuine homemade cuisine ensures that a future visit will be eagerly...

Fantastyczne miejsce. Skromne, schludne, posiada bardzo oryginalny, polski klimat barów z początku aktualnego tysiąclecia. Od razu czuć cudowne zapachy naszej rodzimej kuchni. O jedzeniu mógłbym rozwodzić się całymi dniami - wszystko było absolutnie przepyszne, nie było żadnego słabego punktu. Zabraliśmy kilkanaście międzynarodowych znajomych i wszyscy jednogłośnie orzekli, że jedzenie było znakomite, co potwierdza, że to nie tylko sentyment ;)) Szczególnie smakowały mi pierogi z mięsem - miały dodatkową domieszkę kapusty i cebuli w środku, co stworzyło świetną i oryginalną mieszankę smaków. Do tego wspaniała, sprawna i bardzo miła obsługa, która tylko dokłada do tego fantastycznego doświadczenia. Na pewno będziemy wracać!

Oczywiście jest wybór polskich piw oraz wódki, więc jeżeli brakuje Ci Perełki miodowej w Barcelonie, to zdecydowanie miejsce które musisz odwiedzić.

A fantastic place. Modest, neat, and with a very original Polish vibe reminiscent of bars from the early 2000s. You immediately sense the wonderful aromas of our local cuisine. I could talk endlessly about the food—everything was absolutely delicious; there wasn’t a single weak point. We brought several international friends along, and everyone unanimously agreed that the food was excellent, confirming that it's not just nostalgia talking ;)) I especially enjoyed the meat pierogi—they had an additional blend of cabbage and onion inside, creating a great and unique combination of flavors. On top of that, the excellent, efficient, and very friendly service further enhanced this fantastic experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

Un lugar fantástico. Modesto, limpio y con un ambiente polaco muy original, que recuerda a los bares de principios de este milenio. Desde el primer momento se pueden sentir los maravillosos aromas de nuestra cocina tradicional. Podría pasar días enteros hablando de la comida: todo estuvo absolutamente delicioso, sin ningún punto débil. Trajimos a varios amigos internacionales, y todos coincidieron unánimemente en que la comida fue excelente, lo que confirma que no es sólo cuestión de nostalgia ;)) Me encantaron especialmente los pierogi de carne, que tenían un toque adicional de repollo y cebolla en el interior, creando una mezcla deliciosa y original de sabores. Además, el servicio fue magnífico, eficiente y muy amable, lo que hizo esta experiencia aún más fantástica. ¡Sin...
