Head to The Karczma in Birmingham for some hearty, homely Polish cuisine in the cosiest of environments.
The cosy country cottage aesthetic is as comforting as it is innovative, with fluffy rugs, rough wooden furnishings and a hay thatched ceiling. Finishing touches like bear skin rugs on the walls and exposed beams give a rustic feel that transport you into a different realm, the perfect weekend hideaway to relax and unwind.
Some authentic Eastern European staples include pork knuckle or bone-in pork chop with mashed potatoes and sour cabbage, along with a beef roulade stuffed with smoked bacon, pickles, potato puree and a homemade beetroot slaw. Other delicacies include a pan-fried cod fillet, served on black ravioli with fish stuffing and spinach.
Finish on a sweet note with traditional Polish apple cake or a honey pie with nuts and tempered chocolate. For those seeking an end-of-week tipple, there are also a range of Polish beers, meads, wine and of course, vodka.
