Super!
Our whole family loves fish, so we went to try this new place on Saturday. The place is small but pleasantly decorated. The service is friendly and quick. The guy behind the register suggests sauces, and he's right. We ordered three for: tomato soup with seafood, fish and cheese soup, aterynki, shrimp, and cod in batter with fries. Compote is also included. The soups are delicious, with lots of fish, each soup costing 15 PLN. The aterynki, tiny fish fried whole, are also delicious; I had them with garlic sauce for 15 PLN. Seven shrimp for 17 PLN. The fish in batter is also delicious. To wash it down, there's a compote for a whole 3 PLN! We'll definitely be back.
While I rarely leave reviews, I have to share mine here. If you want something delicious, come to this fry-up place and enjoy the food. Just be sure to come hungry, because the portions are so large that I couldn't finish it and had to take it to go. I highly recommend it.
As a Brit, I can say the fish was good, although a bit on the fatty side for my taste. The chips were decent. The prawns were okay, but there was more breading than prawn. The cucumber salad (mizeria) was good. The delivery was very fast, the prices were very fair, and the place has a lovely, cozy atmosphere. Overall, a good experience.
Cool decor and delicious food. There's a huge selection! We also really like the prices. And the staff is friendly. Overall, very 💓💓💓
