Harden's survey result
Summary
An “excellent” Polish restaurant (also drawing on wider European influences) that is “doing well in its enlarged setting” in Fossgate – having swapped its former Walmgate home for the old premises of the Blue Bicycle in 2020 (and having added blue to its name in tribute). Top Tip – “go hungry as the portions (of pierogi, stews, etc.) are huge, hearty and tasty”, and you may then be “too full to try the excellent-looking selection of cakes”.
Summary
This “cosy, traditionally decorated Polish restaurant in Fossgate” with “very friendly and helpful staff” serves “excellent, heart-warming Polish food” – pierogi dumplings, bigos stew and more – alongside a few excursions into east and western Europe and a classic range of proper breakfast dishes.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
