This place has a nice modern, simple look inside and serves some great continental and eastern european food(particulary Polish dishes, although not as many as I thought), I wanted to have something Polish as I specifically went there for taht and I tried the Pierogi dumplings which were absolutely marvelous. They were really tasty, came with a great dip and was a nice light but still filling meal. The best thing about this restaurant is the cocktails(but they are quite expensive). I had the Warsaw Ice Tea which was great and their selection of vodkas is the most extensive I have seen in London. I have still only given it three stars as I wish there was more choice of Eastern European food on the menu and more explanation of the dishes and it had the feel of a generic modern London restaurant. There was not much that wowed me there and I felt the prices to be a bit steep for nothing that special Great place to go maybe once and if you like Vodka

This place is a gem amongst the British pub style restaurants and Italian /french /German etc style bistros. Why might you ask? Well its not just about the food — the food is great mind you. What really sets this place apart is their in house craft infused vodkas. Its really hard to get a good craft cocktail in Europe sometimes. The British pubs are great if you want a traditional English cask ale, or some Jameson on the rocks — ask for a complex craft cocktail you can get from a foodie place in the US and expect to get a «u wot m8» kind of rude reply. This place has a GREAT menu of craft cocktails that are not only tasty but designed and layered so well that every ingredient can be clearly represented in the palette. But back to their vodkas — their in house infused craft vodkas are really the best vodkas I have drank in my entire life. But EVENBETTER(yes there is more) you order large carafes of them for amazing prices in central London. For 13GBP you can get a carafe of the delightful vodkas that serve a pair of people 4 shots each or a single patron 8 shots! They also offer 3 carafe sizes if you have more than your date or mate with you. This is a MUST try drinking destination in the neighborhood. For the food I tried their pirogies and their ‘sledz’ which was a plate of pickled hearing along with some relishes. Food was great, but the vodkas were unreal. Also sitting at the bar, giant vats of the stuff stewing with their natural ingredients can be seen behind the bar.

When you first walk in it’s quite a minimalist décor, all in grey and metal. For some this is minimalist and chic but for me it just feels a little soulless. I only went there for drinks and the little lounge seats are pretty comfortable. I am not a person who really likes vodka but was converted at this bar! Ask the waiter for recommendations and you can’t go far wrong. The classic daiquiri was very tasty too! Service was swift and polite! I would go there again

I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the restaurant. I loved the minimalist chic décor. We were quickly greeted by a waitress and shown to our table. We were served a nice selection of fresh breads with our appetizers. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food and wine really good.

Stopped by for a quick dinner while on vacation. I ordered the goose which was great. Area the restaurant is in is really nice. My only complaint(and its a small one) is that the service was good but not great. I’d recommend to others.

Ever so popular… don’t forget to book if you don’t want to queue for a table. A great place to go for after work drinks and take advantage of their snack menu. The dumplings especially are delectable. The dinning area is set in an impressive, cosy and romantic setting. It makes a fun and trendy night out to impress a date!

This is probably my favourite restaurant. The peirogi are amazing, as well as the goose and red cabbage. Makes for quite a special experience with the vast array of vodkas to try. And even better: it’s on taste card!

It’s louder than expected and yet very strangely lit with candles. The smell of perfume is overwhelming. The ambiance is rather concophinous to say the least. Alas, we did not order drinks. I was very worried when I ordered a martini and my hostess did not ask if it should be dry, neat, dirty or anything for that matter. I had a talk with the bar tender to be sure. Amazing selection and the mix drinks are very much in your face outrageous. However unlike cahoots the drinks are well made and still unique. My martini was alone three stars(3⁄5) and that is hard to do. The rest of the drinks were rather tasty until much of the night was a blur. They served popcorn with our drinks and I found that very gross, I was the only one. My coitire felt it was perfect. Again with mixed themes. I thought this place was a dark drink with a rich after glow parlor. It felt rather cheap and touristy. Otherwise great drinks just down right vert expensive.

Being of Eastern European decent and having a mother who could cook some of the best signature Eastern European dishes you could have has meant restaurants of this type have come up short with me. Not on this occasion which was my birthday. Saying that, the Platski(Ukrainian fried potato cakes) weren’t up to scratch but everything else was particularly the Roast Knuckle and the Duck. Best ever. Oh, has someone mentioned the range of Vodkas they have?

High brow joint, low brow staff(bar staff, I mean) Those boys need to stop dicking around and start going pro. The wait staff, on the other hand, are golden. No complaints at all on the cuisine: prix fix menu salmon was lightly seasoned, delicate and delicious. My colleagues have only praises for the pork veal. Worth another visit? Of course.

Baltic is one of those great restaurants with awesome drinks and really great food. The restaurant itself is light and airy. The bar is a good size, although if I had one wish it would be that it was slightly bigger as on weekend nights it can be a bit crazy. Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been delicious. The gravadlax is awesome and I love the spatzle The drinks though are really great, the Baltic Twinkle is delicious and the various infused vodkas are really enjoyable. The caramel infused vodka is great as an after dinner drink.

I came here for a celebratory anniversary dinner with my girlfriend, returning after an office Christmas party a few years ago, and we had a wonderful meal. We started with gravadlax with potato latkes and pierogi. The gravadlax was succulent and smoky, tender and delicious. The latkes were crispy and I really enjoyed them, delicious with the sour cream topping. The pierogi were a big hit with us both and I would happily have ordered the bigger portion! For main courses my girlfriend had the spiced lamb and I ordered venison with a grilled pear. I asked for this to be cooked as the chef saw fit. The venison was fantastic, cooked very rare and swimming in delicious juices as well as the excellent sauce it came with. I really enjoyed this and the presentation was excellent. I tried some of the lamb too and was really impressed with this, I almost had food envy! Interestingly the lamb tasted more like something I would expect from a Moroccan restaurant; the flavours and spices were very North African and wouldn’t have been out of place in a Tagine. Although this was a little surprising this was no bad thing and it was delicious. Service was very attentive and quite formal, not what I’m used to but this is more of an upclass dining establishment. As we were dining two days after Christmas the restaurant was very very quiet, although the privacy was nice this did throw me a little! I would have preferred a little background chatter, but perhaps next time. I would definitely recommend. If you’re a beer drinker try and Pszeniczniak, delicious.

I came here to try something new and celebrate an anniversary with my boyfriend. Their cocktails are fantastic. I had their lemongrass mule, and it was refreshing, delicious and super tasty! We split an order of gravadlax and pierogi. I absolutely LOVED the pierogi and I would gladly have them as a main course. The sour cream and the texture of the tough was amazing. The Gravadlax was good as well, but the pierogi definitely has my heart. For my main, I had the Chargrilled Leg of Lamb with Smoked Aubergine, Peppers and garlic Yoghurt in medium rare. My boyfriend ordered the venison specialty dish at the time, cooked at «the chef’s recommendation». The venison came rare, and super delicious and tender! I was jealous for not ordering my dish cooked to the chef’s recommendation. Both were amazing, and I would gladly return to this restaurant when I feel like splashing some extra cash. Seriously, get a large plate of pierogis though! You won’t regret it!

I was invited to dine here before seeing a show at the Young Vic and it was fine, but nothing to write home about. I wasn’t a huge fan of the selection on the menu — very Polish. The ambience is really cool — modern elegance. Maybe it’s more of a fun place to go for drinks at the bar?

This is such a fabulous restaurant, I’d been wanting to visit it for years and finally did a couple of months ago and have now been three times in as many months with as many people to spread the word! The food is delicious, very reasonably priced, with friendly and efficient service. Ensure you sample some of the many cocktails and /or vodkas on offer too. A couple of minutes walk from Southwark tube and The Cut inbetween Waterloo and London Bridge stations so very convenient for buses, tubes and trains. Highly recommended!

They serve a selection of delicious foods, and many assorted choices for you. They carry provide that you want. They also served sandwiches at very reasonable prices. I trulylike visiting this place always. They really had a good food that you must try, so delicious and filled of fillings, this is absolutely one of my favorite here in Southwark.

I’m not sure if it was the food or the service here but something didn’t quite sit right. The food appeared to be well prepared but I guess Polish is one of the few cuisines I can’t wholeheartedly say I love. The service was professional and the décor was very upmarket and I got the feeling they were almost trying too hard to impress. I know that makes this review a bit unfair which is why I’ve given it 4 stars instead of the 3 I really think it deserves.

Review for the bar only. A great selection of serious vodka based as well as other classic cocktails and more modern additions. The bar tender definitely knew his stuff and we enjoyed some well executed cocktails including a good spicy one that the waiter recommended. I like the minimalist vibe and cool interior. Haven’t tried the restaurant but it’s definitely on my list of ‘go to’ cocktail places.

I’d really want to give this place a 3.5 stars as I think it’s a little bit more than A-OK but doesn’t make me go yay. First thing I liked about Baltic is the décor — gorgeous but kind of reminded me of a barn or a church… in a really nice way! Thanks for the food recommendations on Unilocal!I went with the perogies(yum!) and the schnitzel(good but nothing spectacular). Finished off with the apple fritter(yum! kind of reminded me a little of the perogies) Really good service — probably because the restaurant was rather empty. I’d definitely go back to try some of the other items on the menu as well as the vodka.
