What is traditional Polish Cuisine?
Thanks to its long history, and inspirations from other regional cuisines, Polish food has a special place in the hearts of many foodies worldwide. Growing and evolving over the centuries, it became truly eclectic, strongly formed, and at the same time creative.
Many traditional dishes originated in difficult times, with access to limited food resources. Through the years, they became ever-present on Polish tables. They expanded in range, gained the recognition of many palates, and evolved with new ingredients and ways of serving.
Polish cuisine has always been rich in meat, vegetables, mushrooms, spices, and herbs – all gifts of the Polish climate and land. Heavy winters created the necessity for rich and fatty dishes and helped to invent pickled and fermented products.
Another important feature is patience. Until today, some main dishes for special occasions – like Christmas Eve – take days to prepare. This method of food preparation made food part of the celebration.
Today, we can see how Polish cuisine is transforming, navigating between tradition and new trends. By finding forgotten dishes and creating new ones, it adapts to constantly changing reality while sticking to its own rules.

HERE SOME EXAMPLES OF SIGNATURE POLISH DISHES
Pierogi
Experience the epitome of Polish comfort food with our mouthwatering pierogi.
Each dumpling is filled with a savory blend of ingredients that capture the very essence of traditional Polish cuisine.
While pierogi are often referred to as “dumplings” in English, they’re truly in a category of their own. Made with delicate dough and a variety of fillings, pierogi have been enjoyed for generations.
The classic version combines mashed potatoes, fresh quark cheese, and golden fried onions — a timeless favorite.
​
During Christmas Eve, pierogi filled with cabbage and mushrooms are a must on every Polish table.
​
No matter the filling, if there’s one Polish dish you simply have to try — it’s pierogi.
Homestyle Bigos Stew
Bigos
Bigos is considered by many to be Poland’s national dish. Often referred to as “hunter’s stew,” it earned this nickname from the Polish epic poem Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz.
Originally a humble meal made with whatever ingredients were available, bigos became beloved across all social classes — eventually romanticized and immortalized through poetry.
Traditionally, it’s prepared with a mix of various chopped meats, fermented sauerkraut, freshly shredded cabbage,
and wild mushrooms. This combination makes bigos a truly old-world Polish dish — hearty, nutritious, and remarkably long-lasting.
Perfect for cold winter days, Poles often say that bigos tastes even better each time it’s reheated.
Savor the heartwarming flavors of our homestyle bigos — a rich, slow-cooked stew that brings together tender meats, cabbage, mushrooms, and a medley of spices in a deeply comforting broth.
Chlodnik
Chlodnik may not be Polish in origin but that doesn’t keep it from being popular in Poland. In fact, most Polish people refer to it as chÅ‚odnik litewski, meaning “Lithuanian cold soup”. You can think of chlodnik as a cold version of the famous borscht (barszcz) because it’s based on beet. But this is where the similarities end.
Chlodnik is made with the leaves and roots of young beets, fermented beet juice, sour cream, kefir, or yogurt. It’s served cold (perfect below 14°C) with chopped radishes, cucumbers, green onions, and hard-boiled egg halves.
It’s the perfect dish to enjoy on hot summer days.
