A grand, old-world dining room and stunning terrace inside the Polish Hearth Club that serves opulent comfort food with a side of house-infused vodkas.
Ordering Strategy
Start with a selection of infused vodkas and shared blinis or tartare. The Placki is a must-order starter. For mains, the menu leans hearty, so consider sharing if you want to save room for the rum baba.
What to order
Placki (Potato Pancakes)
Described as 'humble ingredients raised to opulent nobility,' these crisp pancakes are topped with 'velvety and plush' chicken livers and 'sour-sweet little bombs' of dried cherries.
Honey and Pomegranate-glazed Golonka
This 'vast knuckle of meat' is a 'rib-sticking' dish that is perfect for colder days, delivering substantial comfort and luxury.
House-infused Vodka
An essential part of the experience, with options ranging from 'clean, astringent' cucumber and dill to a 'chilli vodka that strips all feeling from your palate'.
Sliwowica Plum Tart
A dramatic finale to the meal, this tart is 'doused with booze and set on fire' right at the table.
