This is a fabulous restaurant, nestled in a corner up over the harbour in the Old Town of Puerto del Carmen. The building itself is most unusual for this area, with its Juliette style balcony and windows filled with drooping plants and hanging baskets. There's also an array of potted plants at the main entrance on the street. Inside is equally gorgeous, bright, and airy with a winding staircase leading up to the top floor dining area. Once again, an array of planted greenery hangs down over the balcony. The food is fabulous with a huge selection of both Polish and Irish themed dishes and a good range of vegetarian dishes too. We had main courses of Polish Golobki which is minced meat wrapped in a cabbage leaf and baked a delicious tomato sauce, and Poledwica Sobieski ....prune stuffed pork steak served with a yummy white wine and cranberry sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes. All desserts are homemade and we had white chocolate and toffee cheesecake which was a little disappointing as it lacked any toffee flavour and was served with a very sparse chocolate sauce...would have been so delicious smothered with a toffee sauce I would have thought!
The owner herself, Bozena, is very charming and welcoming as are all the staff. However I'm reluctantly not giving it top marks as I felt the main course portions were a wee bit on the small side and, unlike the last time I dined here, there was no complimentary drink offered at the end of the meal! read more
