I would recommend getting reservations for this restaurant because it's so popular. We decided to risk it & went soon after they opened on a weekday evening & luckily they had an opening.
We tried their pierogis & schnitzel. It was a difficult decision since there were so many good options to choose from. Everything was fresh & delicious . We definitely would recommend this place to everyone.

Good food. Was a very busy place on a Sunday Evening. Had to find a place serving Polish cusine & Stash doesbit well. The stroganoff was a little too peppery for my wife, but I loved it. Everyone loved the pierogi.

Les plats étaient globalement très bons, nous avons pris plaisir à découvrir les saveurs polonaises à travers des assiettes découvertes assez diversifiées.

Nous étions un peu surpris de l'accueil & du service peu chaleureux.

Pierogies (potato & cheddar) & potato pancakes were very tasty. Pierogies were freshly made & boiled (I prefer fried to get the crusty outside) with carmelized diced onion on top served with sauerkraut & sour cream. The potato pancakes (4) were served with choice of apple sauce or sour cream. I ordered them with apple sauce so I can use the sour cream from the Pierogies combined with the potato pancakes so I can have an apple sauce/sour cream combo on potato pancakes. They also had live piano music as well. Great atmosphere!

A great spot in the middle of old town. Super homey & well prepared Polish classics, plus some new dishes I've never tried. Service friendly & quick. Worth a visit! Try the croquettes entree if you aren't a vegetarian.
