Professional, energetic, personalized service, coffee offered right away on the house, I felt a warm welcome. Ordered the Borsht with sour cream, rye bread from a local bakery and butter, the authentic smell and flavors of that Borsht reminded me the one my grandmother used to cook. The main dish was their incredible fully stuffed platter. You can taste the love and time put into their meals, I haven't eaten this quality for a long time; With their juiciest meat balls and handmade assorted perogies, I dare you to try the perfectly seasoned cabbage rolls with a spoon of sour cream on top! It would change your vision of the world!!! Highly recommend.

Just had dinner here for the first time. Quaint bistro, not pretentious just good food. We tried a variety from the menu and honestly it was all good. It’s what I call comfort food. Nothing fancy and they don’t fancy up your plate with garnishes but the flavours are there! We tried a variety of pierogies, cabbage roll, schnitzel with mushroom sauce, polish sausage, meatballs, and hands down my favorite was their house crepe which was stuffed with mushrooms and mozzarella! The waiter who I am pretty sure was the owner, was so personable and great to talk to. This restaurant will be on our regular rotation of places to dine!

My wife and I went for dinner last Friday. The food and service were excellent. I also enjoyed a couple polish beers. Prices are very reasonable. We came early and there was only one other table of two. By the time we left the restaurant was full. That says it all. See you again

Nestled in the heart of Penticton, the Polish Bistro is a hidden gem that offers a taste of Eastern Europe. Run by a legendary Polish fellow, this bistro is a one-man show, with the owner serving the entire place with unmatched enthusiasm and respect. The menu is a delightful journey through Polish cuisine, featuring classic dishes like pierogi, bigos, and kielbasa. The flavors are authentic, and the portions are generous. But it's not just the food that makes this place special. It's the owner's warm hospitality and genuine passion for sharing his culture. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a local looking for something new, the Polish Bistro is a must-visit. Just be prepared to be amazed by the owner's incredible multitasking skills and the delicious food he serves with a smile.

Coming from a polish family myself, it was perfectly nostalgic and the highest quality in flavour and texture. Absolutely top notch food and service. The blueberry perogi were particularly special.

Excellent food and service. The perogies were almost as good as my grandmother's who arrived in Canada post WW1. So that's high praise from me! The sauerkraut salad was awesome! The borscht.....yummy! I enjoyed the Polish and Czech beers on the menu. The owner was friendly and enjoyed talking to him!

Very nice restaurant. I have been here 3 times. Each time I was more than satisfied. I very much enjoy all their varieties of perogies, and the cabbage rolls are very nice too. The atmosphere is great. They often play jazz, and the walls have nice images. The prices are fair. The host is very gracious and efficient. I would definitely come back.

I took my wife to the Polish Bistro last evening, for dinner. It was very very good. We were seated promptly and our server was gracious, allowing us time to peruse the menu whilst getting our drinks. The borscht is worth ordering just on its own. My wife had perogies and I had sausages, both our dinners accompanie by a house salad (love the magic dressing!). To finish off we tried the blueberry perogies. Fantastic. The food was freshly prepared and well worth the affordable price. It is quite nice to be able to hold a conversation at the table without interferance from background noise. We will return, and soon.

If you like perogies & living life to its fullest, get your butt to this perfect little spot. I ll dream of these every night for the rest of my life. Vegetarian options: Even mushroom gravy!

better call before going to the restaurant and make sure that they have schnitzel. Went there 3 times for the schnitzel as it was my sons favourite. But we went 3 time for dinner (last month) and 3 times they told us they ran out of it. It used to be our kids favourite, but nowadays whenever Ill invite my kids to revisit the place, they would rather want to go elsewhere to avoid the disappointment.

Delicious food, very fresh and perfectly cooked and steamed..for what I think is a two person team (husband and wife) this place served perfected food in a busy environment and that in itself is amazing. Everything felt very homey like moms homemade food - it was comforting and we will be back for more! The portions are pretty decent for the price and we felt it was fair - many people needed take out boxes because the food is filling (no complaints there :) !)

★★★★★

Incredible, homemade, authentic polish cuisine. The place is literally only staffed by the couple that owns the restaurant and somehow they can cook and serve a full restaurant of folks. If its super busy, the service slows down a bit, but the food is well worth the wait. Maybe the best meal Ive had in Penticton.

Food was okay, but not the best location. We didnt get enough attention when we were placing our order cuz the guy seemed a bit busy. Were new to traditional Polish food, so we ended up with a meat platter, but the smoked sausage was yummers. Not a fan of the cabbage rolls like everyone else seems to be. I think the cabbage is ground up into the roll, not wrapped by it. We also commented that the food was a bit cool (and it was), but the server wasnt happy about that and said his wife would never let food leave the kitchen cold... He should watch the customer service video Give Em the Pickle. Customers ALWAYS, right, dude!

My sister and I decided to take our mom to Penticton for a bit of an outing today. At the end of the day we tried to decide where to go for a bite to have dinner. After Googling about places to go in Penticton, we decided on the Polish Bistro. All three of us could not have been happier. From the time we walked in the front door and were met by Walter and seated, it could not have been a nicer evening. The atmosphere is simple but beautiful and relaxing. The menu has a really nice selection of Polish/Eastern European meals. We had various combinations of perogies, cabbage rolls, meat balls and salad. Everything was so nicely made and flavourful. The perogies dough as so soft and nice. The fillings, of which I sampled four, were all nicely done. The cabbage rolls had nice flavour, and the cabbage was perfectly cooked. It could not have been better. We finished off with a small order of 3 perogies filled with wild blueberries and topped with a dollop of sour cream. Wow, what a perfect ending to the meal. Walter stopped by and talked to us and made us all feel very comfortable. You could see how much pride he took in his restaurant. Definitely, 100%, we will be back soon!

Finding a place like this reminds me why I love to travel. The food was resonant of the best in Poland, and even better. For example, the pierogies were light and flavorful, and the dough was melt-in-the-mouth, not tough or chewy. The blueberry pierogies are not to be missed. Even though we were too full to eat another bite, we ate every single one. The borscht was sublime, and my husband devoured a Polish sausage. We look forward to returning and we are telling everyone we know to not hesitate to eat here. Enjoy!

My wife found this bistro for supper. We walked in to a wonderful peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Very classy and clean. The owner served us and he was wonderful. Very dynamic and friendly. He took the time to take orders from each of our children,along them feel welcome. The owners wife is the chef and the food was prepared quickly and brought out fresh and hot. We had borsch which was clearly homemade. It reminded me of the borsch my wife and grandmother both make. Very authentic. The perogies were a generous size and also homemade. My favourite were the real authentic cabbage rolls with meat inside. No rice rolls here. The meatballs and pork schnitzel were also homemade and cooked perfectly. I have not been to a better Eastern European restaurant anywhere with better service or menu.. The Polish Bistro is a hidden gem in Penticton that everyone should check out. If you are Eastern European, or just enjoy great home cooked food, Polish Bistro is at the top of the list.

Polish Bistro hits on every level. The restaurant is exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated with some really cool murals of Poland on the walls. The classical jazz playing really sets the mood without being in your face. Possibly the most impressive aspect was the service. The night we visited, one guy acted as host, waiter, food runner, receptionist (taking To-Go orders) and cashier. Having about 10 years experience in the restaurant industry myself, I found this to be extremely impressive. There was a small mix-up with our order, but he handled it graciously and professionally, offering to rush the missed food or cancel it if we were no longer interested. None of this is to say that the food wasnt fabulous - it absolutely was. $7 for a bowl of Borscht soup in this economy feels like a trip back in time! In fact this entire business feels like a piece of nostalgia. Im drawing my own conclusions here but Im going to assume that Polish Bistro is a good old fashioned family run establishment and it feels so good supporting hard working people like them. I strongly recommend you visit soon, and make sure you order a cabbage roll.

Great home cooked food with friendly service in a nicely decorated and very clean location. This restaurant serves authentic home cooked *delicious* Polish food....with a nice selection of all the classics. Every meal brings me right back to the many Sunday dinners at Omas house from my childhood. An array of platters, lunch and dinner specials, and build your own meal options provide great value for the well portioned servings. Be sure to add a bowl of Borscht to your meal. Dont bother with the cup...you will regret it LOL Check out the nice selection of import Polish and Czech beers as well as great selections of local wines to choose from. Come hungry and be sure to try all of these 3 staples...cabbage rolls, pierogies, and cutlets - all are must try! If you are really hungry add a Polish sausage and enjoy!

Wow. What a surprise. This place was amazing. We had THE best pierogies we have ever had. They melt in your mouth. You could not tell that they had dough on them, it just melted away. The sausage and the borscht were also really good. We will be back here again, for sure.

I come from a Ukrainian/ Polish community and I have to say the pierogies and cabbage rolls made at the Polish Bistro are beyond compare. The pieriogies are light and melt in your mouth. They come with an assortment of flavours: our favourites were the dill and the spinach and feta. The service is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

My husband and I dined here on Monday June 13th after reading good reviews. The food was amazing! We shared a platter, a sauerkraut salad and a bottle of local white. The most reasonably priced dining experience we have had in a while - while it wasn t fancy, it was exactly what we were going for. We will be back next time we are in Penticton!

This was by far the most delicious Polish food I have ever eaten!! I had cabbage rolls and perogies. The cabbage rolls just melted into my mouth. The cabbage was a perfect thickness and the fillings were amazingly delicious . The perogies are the best!! The dough was the best tasting ever and the potatoe and cheese fillings were amazing!! Topped with glazed onions and sour cream. I have eaten Polish food at several restaurants and this meal was outstanding and the best tasting. The prices were great as well. We will definitely be back soon! Well done Polish Bistro!!

Overall the dining experience was outstanding; ambience, service, beverages and food. The owner was personable and very welcoming. Loved the perogies especially...so tender and tasty. Try the borsch ... all four of us agreed it was the best we had ever tasted. It has a secret ingredient which we can not divulge. The schnitzel was a delight and also recommended.

Nice addition to the Penticton food scene. Super friendly family run place. We were a group of 7 and everyone got their food at the same time, piping hot and delicious. They allow you to pick a meal from the menu or build your own which is great for getting everything you want. I had 3 different perogies, a cabbage roll, and schnitzel with mushroom gravy. All of it was very tasty and authentic. Just like grandma used to make! This place will definitely be on our regular schedule.
