About Bistro Polonia
Bistro Polonia is a Polish bistro on High Street in Lincoln, serving Polish dishes that range from soups such as cauliflower and beetroot (botwinka) through Silesian karmidel and rolled beef to potato pancakes with goulash. The menu leans into the heavier end of Polish home cooking, with portions reported as generous across the kitchen. Dogs are welcome inside, and the room is run by a friendly, attentive team. The bistro keeps things straightforward, with reasonably priced food across the menu, and the counter staff guide guests through the choices. A grounding in Polish comfort food and a setting that invites longer meals set the tone of the room, with the menu giving a clear sense of what to expect before ordering.

“Obiady niesamowite zrywa papę z dachu. Duże porcję. Zupy mega dobre, takie zupy to u babci jadłem. Kalafiorowa rozwala system. Mielone z cebulą kozak. Botwinka super Karmidel śląski na równi z mielonymi. Ale mielone już nie są serwowane. Polecam.”
- Andrzej Szatkowski
“We were on a family trip and stopped here for lunch. If you're nearby, I highly recommend having a meal here. Everything was absolutely delicious, and everyone in our family enjoyed it. I honestly can't remember the last time I had such a good lunch. The food is very tasty, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!”
