dtaylor5632: That's the one. Never been though as I moved away just before it opened. When you go back try it, I was impressed by the food, the location is a little out there, but they are doing that area up.

First step is learning the difference between grilling (think kiss the cook apron wearing guy throwing hot dogs on a grill, possibly with an Irish accent), and ba-bachu (the guy with the smoker, the slab of brisket and ribs, and a whole lot of time on his hands).

Sounds the same to me, except the first guy is probably drunk and gives everyone food poisoning.

last time i went to the sushi place "Miyako" and i didn't like it (i love sushi!!)...

There are loads of Sushi places, Again I say I am too far away from the sea to eat that but Harry has argued (so uncharacteristic, I know) that there are great ones in the Saw in the War.
But I still am not convinced, as I think the locals always eat the tastiest food.

i like when my mammy and busias cook for me delicious Polish yummy dishes

Tell'em I'll be over tomorrow :)

warszawski: the location is a little out there, but they are doing that area up. That was thinking behind it, there is a lot of investment going into that part of the city for new business'.

Have any of you guys been to a " Honesty restaurant" that lets you name your price. They are popping up all over the place except Poland ... Wonder why ?

I don't believe it, yeah?

Yep I was in one in Barcelona, a tapas and cava bar - it was great, we all rolled out full of effervescent and stuffed, we gave them 15 euro a head and they invited us back the next day. I went to one in Berlin, they have a chain of restaurants we had a three course meal and they leave all the wine bottles on the bar and you help yourself, well I was with three Poles and they could not believe it, one of them decided to stand by the wine just in case the owners changed their minds. I also went to one in London same procedure.

You got to remember the vast majority of people are honest, it is only the minority that are scum-bags.

warszawski: You got to remember the vast majority of people are honest, it is only the minority that are scum-bags. scumbag here. Anyway, I think this was covered in freakanomics about self serve pastries or something. The simple little things that were done to, ahem, help that honesty along. Neat stuff.

"No, sometimes there are ******** who spend the entire night here and pay €5," said Mariano. "Especially Spanish people. We should have a monument dedicated to us in Madrid, they owe us so much money!

Heh, from the article:

I read from some of your posts you get about a bit, so look out for one of these types of restaurants and lets us know what you think.

The one interesting thing in these type of places is that the first timers stick out, because they don't fully understand the protocol. The first one i visited was in Berlin and so I simply asked " how does it work and how much do you expect"

The zapienkanka places are pretty good. Then again, how far wrong can you go with a baguette, some chopped spring onion/chives and cheese? Oh, and mushrooms :) I rarely eat them but they have pride of place in Poland :)

Heading up to Berlin in the near future, will definitely stop by one.

Not sure if they have Shamrock shakes. The golden arches in Warsaw has most of the same junk we have in the states. Took this pic during the month of August.

A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

smurf: they're only available to plastic paddies in amerikey, yeeehaaa Served to you by Mexicans that barely speak English, and they even dress up in green for the St.Paddys day parade and try to sell you T-shirts...I dont think it works out very well for them as they try to blend in,,,lol Nothing like a florescent green milkshake, thats if its real milk???

to Irish people that don't speak.....oh wait.....err...beagnach a rinne mé botún ann :P

ah but for Paddy's Day anyone and everyone can be a paddy and rightly so, although the idea of shamrock shakes and green pints of stout is just kinda wrong....stout has to be the colour it'[s meant to be.......which reminds me that I need to organise getting the day off work.

but back on topic, yea those zapikanka yokes are magic, especially in the old Jewish part of Krakow

Green beer is served at some pubs on St.Paddys day and by the end of the night, you look around and everyones teeth are bright green...lol

And the next day any unsold beer is 1/2 price,,,alky special!!

Polish fast food joints, I just got an amazing idea for dinner!
Maybe Ill walk down the alley to Cerwone Jablusko for take out buffet:)
We have a lot of Polish restaurants but wouldnt consider them as "fast food" like Mickey D`s

So, does the food taste exactly the same there as it does in the U.S.?

But some of them really are Irish on their father's side. Maybe they're just celebrating their heritage.
