Baltic Bar and Restaurant

Delicious spot for a glass of champagne and caviar.
My friend and I come at least once a week to eat caviar and blini's and rejoice in the delicious delights.
Tastes like childhood.

This place appears to be permanently closed. There is a for lease sign out front of the building at the listed address.

Stellar. Simply stellar. A delicious take on ( largely) Polish food; a lovely dining space ( although tbh the seating arrangements for tables for two could be better). Staff are both delightful and attentive. The menu changes with fair regularity, but the 'go to' mainstays of Polish cuisine are all there, for example pierogi.

You'd be a fool to miss out on the vodka, especially the flavoured variations done in house ( you'll walk past vats of it as you go through the bar). If your picture of Polish food is centred solely around lumpy plates of cabbage, pork, potato, and beetroot, you may be disappointed; all these ingredients definitely feature, but everything is presented in a classy , eminently presentable, and indeed refined manner, bringing in all the "Modern European" artistry you might expect from a London restaurant with a well known chef.

To top it all off, it's very reasonably priced - think £50/head to have a couple of courses and drinks in the evening. In short, don't come- I want this place all to myself, although I fear the loyal regulars will frustrate my aim.

Surprisingly delicious food and amazing service.

My husband and I went here after work last Tuesday. It's a very unassuming restaurant front, with the awning and exterior making you think a cosy place inside awaits you. But nope, first you enter and there are velvet drapes you must walk through. Fancy.

There's a courteous coat check girl to your left and then an intimate bar area you walk through. But then BAM you come up the massive, airy seating area with sky-high ceilings, like a ski chateau.

Christmas crackers were provided at the tables; free bread and adornments like pickles and a beetroot dip accompany it. So far, so good. A server came soon after we seated. I ordered the (very good) dry house wine and the potato latkes with mushroom, chestnuts and broad beans; also the wild mushroom soup as a starter. My husband got the hunter stew.

I was impressed with how large - and delicious!- my latkes were. Two pieces with the edges a bit burnt (which I loved), with a generous topping of the water chestnuts and such. I even had enough for leftovers. My husband said his stew was filling and quite adequate. Extra bread was provided at no extra cost. The soup was a rich, earthy taste and quite creamy (if a bit small for £5).

The service was one of the best I've had in London, despite how busy the restaurant was.

When my husband and I visited London on our honeymoon, we were excited to try different types of food, as this is one of the most international cities in the world.

We ate an early dinner here before heading to Tate Modern, which is nearby. Because of that, we were able to take advantage of the Pre Theatre menu, which offers two or three courses at a discounted price.

To start, my husband had pierogis (with veal and pork) and I had potato soup- both were enjoyable, but the pierogis were especially good. Our entrees looked similar, since they were both breaded. I had the chicken kiev with sautéed cabbage, mushrooms and boczek (bacon). My husband had veal cutlets with potatoes and a fried egg. Again, both were very tasty.

All throughout our meal, we kept seeing these beautiful, little, multicolored, chilled shot glasses flying around on tiny silver trays. I was curious what they were and when the dessert menu came out, the drinks portion featured a long list of flavored vodkas. It seemed to be their specialty, so we decided to try a couple. When we asked our server for a recommendation, he said he is from Estonia, so he loves all of them. Even though I was hoping to get some guidance on what to order, I liked that answer! We ended up trying rose petal and mint. Both were served chilled. I really enjoyed the rose petal!

Unassuming from the outside, the little entrance through the bar just off Southwark tube is a really beautiful restaurant.

We wanted to try something a little different and for my carb-loving girlfriend the Polish/Hungarian food was well presented and had great flavour. Bread selection was pretty sizeable and don't leave without having a vodka!!

Good spot for a more formal meal, but relaxed atmosphere.

Dinner
Starter: Pierogi and Spätzle
Main: Schnitzel and Karowka, side of Mizeria
Dessert: Vodka. Herb&Mint and Lemon.

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

On unexpected odd's we ran into a friend and his significant other in London and decided to get some dinner. Him and I are both part Polish and constantly joke about needing to go eat some Pierogies - and so we finally did! Internationally!

We found Baltic by quick google searched and homed in on it. A very large and clean restaurant. The servers were very attentive and kind, they constantly made sure that we had everything we wanted and asked numerous times if we needed any shots of vodka ;)

Our entire group got a ton of pierogies and pelmeni and they were so delicious. Perfectly seasoned meat and tasty dumpling skin. I was very glad we stopped in.
We also did in fact go for a round of vodka shots, as well as some very tasty traditional desserts.
Very good food if you're looking for this type of cuisine. A little expensive but nothing too crazy really.

Superb in every way. Service was provided by professional young men and women. The soup was hearty and full of flavor. The spaetzle with sausage was divine. The draught beer and the cider were great. The dessert of Brandy Alexander and sorbet with a shot of frozen vodka was a fitting end to a wonderful meal. Strongly recommend this place. We are jealous because there is only one polish restaurant in Los Angeles and this would be better in LA.

had two great meals here back to back. Great service and food.
I use to live in London 14 years ago and worked a block away from Baltic and use to come often. It is the same quality and superb vodka selection.

Prices are mid range for London.
