There was a nice little town by the sea called Wolin where I nearly thought of buying a small house all those years ago.

Actually, I went off the idea because I later found out that the son of the Polish lady I was with had been stealing all my money. As I say, the Poles are their own worst enemies in the end.

I might have to check it out this weekend. I shall be making some observations about the clientele, as will they - 'It's a disgrace, letting a donkey into a deli without curing and smoking it first!'

Limited experience here though.

hmarshmellow: i would also like to know about the experience of eating at restaurants in poland as well as home cooked meals This will not help your cause but in Poland the messure of a good restaurant is based on the food not the decor. Many a Polish restuaranteer do not posess the financial resources to create fancy decors. If i were you I would go with the Zakopane theme, traditional wooden interior with absoluetey lavish wooden interior designs consisting of huge wooden benches and chairs, huge tree trunks chain sawed and made into stools for the bar with graphic symbols of Polish history carved into the sides and painted. Heavy cast iron candle holders, heavy cast iron napkin holders, a huge natural fire place. Try to create a traditional Polish atmosphere with the emphasis being on over the top Polish country feel. Loads of artificial flowers dangling all over the place with big chunky beer galsses added to the equation. Thats what I like anyway.

Thread attached on merging: Designing a Polish restaurant in the UK Hi, im a final year interior design student at the university of huddersfield and i am designing a Polish restaurant aimed at British people to give them an introduction to Polish cultures and traditions. (See my previous topic - http://www.polishforums.com/designing_polish_restaurant-31_18354_0.htm l ) Below are some images of the initial scheme and i would love to get a Polish view on the design. Visual of the bar which has images of Poland and Britain to show the two contries closer together Visual of bar seating. the glass arches give an idea of a vaulted ceiling which are in many Krakow buildings. the flowers are said to represent hospitality in Polish traditions. downstairs is a bar area selling vodka and polish beer. Upstairs dining is for large groups who have never tried Polish food before. Upstairs is an open kitchen so the diners can see the food being prepaired. Wall feature is cut leather in the style of Wycinanki. The stars upstairs are taken from the tradition that the Christmas eve meal is eaten when the first star is in the sky. Open kithen area if any of the details abouve are wrong please let me know, i'v have taken the information from books and web-sites but they are not always 100%. any comments or suggestions would be a huge help, thank you =)

Go or a historic theme, wood every where almost like some old English Pubs with a polish twist. Try to stay away from the new English Pub theme, try to go back in time not forward. When a client walks in they say wow this is nice not ohh another Brewers fair. Be different.
