Polonia - Brisbane

I was looking for some European cuisine and stumbled upon this Polish Club. I have to say, the food tasted just like it should. Coming from the Czech Republic, I am familiar with these dishes and I must say, this place serves some of the best food in Brisbane. I ordered the tripe soup and beef goulash, both of which were perfect. I dined with my partner and another couple, and everyone left very satisfied. We will definitely be returning.

During our Friday lunch visit, we tried traditional dishes like tripe soup, Polish cabbage roll, beef goulash, meat dumplings, and pork schnitzel, accompanied by a Zywiec beer. The restaurant's setting is simple and clean, with a vibe reminiscent of a communist workers club. The tripe soup was flavorful and hearty, while the beef goulash and gnocchi disappointed with their lack of seasoning and tough beef. The cabbage roll was generous and tasty, although it could have used more seasoning in the filling. The meat dumplings were well-presented but slightly dry, and the pork schnitzel was a standout dish that left us smiling. Service was friendly and helpful, with staff willing to explain menu items. The Polish Market Day downstairs offered a variety of traditional sweets, groceries, and cured meats that were a hit with everyone lining up. Special menu items like pork knuckle on Friday nights and specialty Polish beers are worth a try. Overall, the Polish Club offers a nostalgic dining experience with a range of traditional Polish dishes and a friendly atmosphere. Don't miss out on their special market days for unique Polish delicacies at great prices. Check their website for more information on upcoming events.

Now this place is interesting. It's like the German club 20 years ago without the band and back room.<br/ <br/ Food is pretty much the same- I had fish and chips which were really cheap, kind of cheap tasting but I think it was under ten bucks. Everyone else got the meaty dishes and loved them. <br/ <br/ They also do great vodka. They kind of payed us out (in a good jokey way) for getting shots of vodka and shotting rather than sipping. The staff were really cool. <br/ <br/ It had a friendly vibe- like most people were regulars. It's close to me, I had a genuinely good time but I also had great company. Make sure you have great company.

$12 later and I wish i was Polish.. Ok, so let me start by staying I believe i have a decent size appetite and can put away a fair amount of food. Well, the Polish Club sure as hell slapped me down and put me back in my place (all be it a very delighted, satisfied place . My girlfriend and I use to small $16 share plates at fancy bars order 4 $12 plates here and I will now breakdown what fuzzy memories I’m left with post food coma. Pierogis stuffed with potato and ricotta are just delicate (Polish and delicate, weird right! clouds of bliss. This sauerkraut and kransky tomato bowl thing was just intense and i mean good but it picked a fight with me that I’m calling a draw, it might have other ideas. I'm not sure what i can stay about the cabbage rolls that they can't stay for themselves. It's cabbage and pork with rice and sauce, none of this a bad thing and I’ve always felt cabbage doesn't get enough love. But the cowboy in this story that waltzes into the room like he owns the place is the Tripe Soup. This thing is a power house of pepper and majesty. Forget what it is just get into and thank yourself for pushing your boundaries.<br/ <br/ I tried a few beers too but I literally have no idea what they are called/what i was ordering but they were all good..

Delicious Food. Went with members of a Probus Club and all of us really enjoyed the wonderful food we had. The manager kindly pandered to our curiosity by serving a variety of the Polish food as a buffet so that we could sample many different dishes. Everybody raved about the food and I noticed that the beer was very popular also : . For $20 we had what amounted to a 3 course meal.<br/ <br/ There were other people there eating more the normal cafe food and I noted that theirs was nicely presented with big servings.<br/ <br/ I highly recommend this restaurant and complement the staff who did such a great job even though they were short staffed that day.
