| - First time I've been to a specialty pierogi restaurant and boy am I impressed! Its owned by a delightful Polish family and friends. All of their pierogis are packed with content and the skin is different from what I've tasted before. It's not grainy when chewing it up because they use regular instead of potato flour. Very soft.
APPETIZERS:
Tomato Salad - tomatoes, ontario feta, roasted garlic shallot vinaigrette ~$5.96
these are the freshest and sweetest tomatoes I've ever had. I really like this salad
Creamy Cucumber Salad - cucumbers, sour cream dill dressing ~$3.95
Has a very grassy and distinct taste. cucumbers are nice and juicy with a light creamy dressing.
PIEROGIS:
Cheddar & Potato -old cheddar, lager sauce, sour cream, green onion, bacon ~$5.95/4 pieces
Tastes like a good ol traditional pierogi with a little extra. A great guilty pleasure!
Duck - beets, watermelon dressing, daikon radish slaw ~$7.95
My absolute favourite of all of them. I wouldn't have ordered it by looking at the ingredients itself, but was convinced because it had duck in it xD Everything goes well together.
Spinach & Feta - feta, house-made tzatziki, crumbled feta, parsley ~$6.95
This pierogi was 95% spinach. The inside was fully loaded with spinach (with no air pockets) and it was delish
Baised Beef Shank - gravy, parsley, pickle ~$6.95
The gravy was savoury and reminds me of thick Sidekick/Swiss Chalet sauce (in a good way). The beef was a little gamey though. They re-added this onto the menu after summer.
COURSES:
Goulash & Potato Pancake - beef & red pepper stew, caramelized onions, sour cream ~$12.95
Being one of their newer menu items, I didn't find the goulash very memorable, but it was comforting with its warmness. The dish was salvaged by the potato pancake, though very thin.
Braised Duck Kopytka - polish gnocchi-style potato dumpling with braised duck and duck gravy ~$14.95
the gnocchi texture is spot on. I recommend this over the goulash
Also their Prosecco hibiscus lavender lemon cocktail is AMAZING. Went well with the pierogis
I think their vegetarian-dominated pierogis stand out ie. Spinach & Feta and Duck. They used locally-sourced ingredients which is probably why even the salad tastes super fresh. If it weren't for the sauce, eating the meat alone would be a tad too dry.
