Delicious homestyle Polish cuisine. We were seated quickly upon entering for lunch and the place was already almost full with large groups celebrating the upcoming Christmas break. We ordered the Combination Plate Platter for 2, which was huge and could easily feed 3. The pork schnitzel was crispy on the outside, tender inside and the mushrooms on top were delightful. The cabbage rolls and pierogies were huge and flavourful. We love cabbage, so, the salads really hit the spot. As we are gluttons, we ordered potato pancakes as well - potato goodness! This is not fast food. They took a bit of time (not a long wait) to cook our food and we really appreciated everything was freshly made to order. They sell frozen pierogies. We bought a couple dozen of their cheddar & potato and sauerkraut pierogies. Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend Café Polonez!

This restaurant is great. There’s a ton of diverse Polish menu items options to choose from. The portions are large. The staff are polite and very quick. I really enjoyed the basics like the perogies and the sausages. More complex dishes were great too like borscht and the Polish pancake but I really like the hearty tastes of the basics.

Best polish food I have ever had everything is perfect, my boyfriend and I always get the platter for 2 and it’s such a great deal. The food is delicious and so is the service. Make sure to get one of each cabbage role and add a sausage to the platter. Super humble place pumping out classic comforts. Also there’s normally some mushrooms on the schnitzel but they were out of the specific kind that day, but they did bring over a whole bowl of different mushrooms before I even asked which I really appreciated!

I want to say that after our bad anniversary experience in a renamed restaurant, my husband wants to take me to a second chance aniversary dinner. And he said what do you want? I said good food and something different. And here we are eating one of my best meals in a very long time. When the dishes arrived we see eachother and said: omgggg we will take some food home, this is so much. 40 min after we were licking our plates hahahahha 😂. We finished so full that decided to walk to the station. Was great flavors, great amount, good beer. If I can give a extra start I will 2 more. Thanks so much to make the best of our anniversary second chance. I will come back and try more dishes.

We visited this lovely Polish restaurant again. The restaurant is located near the Revue Movie Theatre, which makes an ideal spot to dine prior to or after the movie. Food is always scrumptious. This time, we had the signature dishes: Schnitzel Polonez, Beef Paprikash, and Kotlet Mielony. All well prepared and served hot. Portions are more than generous, so keep in mind not to order any appetizers unless you are going to share the entree. Perfect Roncy Restaurant to visit if you are looking for homecrafted food. Restaurant has been opened since 1981 and continues to keep high standards.

I love it here! Reminds me of the milk bars in Poland and I have enjoyed my meal experience here. Cozy interior with unpretentious atmosphere and service. All the food is excellent and super classic and a totally jewel in Roncesvalles; the platter options are great and the variety of food is very competitively priced. I leave here feeling full and happy. :)

Authentic polish & Eastern European restaurant with huge portions. Loved the herring appetizer. Platter for two was a great way to try a few things. Pierogis and schnitzel were very good; not a fan of their cabbage rolls. I will definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu!

It is one of the best places to have Polish food. The food portion was generous and the taste was well balanced. Ordered platter for 1 (Hunter’s stew, 4 pierogies, and 1 schnitzel with mushrooms), a cabbage roll, and 3 potato pancakes. Fed 2 people very full. The schnitzel had good crunchy textures and flavour. The pierogies skin was al dente, not too soft, not to hard, perfect chewiness with cheese potato filler. The cabbage roll was just plain good and very tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks were refilled without being asked.

Really well cooked central European food. Schnitzels were the best Ive had in decades. Meat was cooked to perfection with crunchy, but non-greasy coating. Good service and nice unpretentious setting. Highly recommended. Fries were exceptional. Fairly thick cut with crunchy outer layer and soft inside.

My boyfriend and I love this place! The food is so comforting, big portions, and we leave feeling nourished (and I usually have leftovers for the next day)! Recently, we tried the Hunter s Stew, it is SO hearty and delicious. We love everything we ve tried here! I usually go with the pork schnitzel, used to have the roasted chicken. I am so grateful this place is still going strong (been around since the 70 s I believe), because of it s quality food, cozy atmosphere, plus friendly staff.

Its always a treat to eat in this place. We start off with a fruity compote. A must have to order is their white borscht soup and beef tripe soup. For the mains wed always go for the Potato pancakes with goulash, cabbage rolls and liver and onions. Do not forget to grab mixed flavored pierogies for dessert as its one of our favorites here. Im not of any European background but we always love to come here and dine here. Always a treat when we come to this establishment.

I had Hungarian or Portuguese cuisine for the first time and everything was so delicious! It seems that there are many regulars and it is a quite popular restaurant. Staff are accommodating and friendly. We had Hungarian Poteto pancake, pierogi, cold borscht & boiled potato . It might be nice to share Platter with others next time. #contestentry It was my first time eating Hungarian and Portuguese food, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are many families and elderly people, so it feels like a restaurant frequented by locals. The popular Hungarian Poteto pancake is stuffed with plenty of pork goulash and goes well with the chewy potato batter. I highly recommend you give it a try. For pierogi, you can choose steam only or steam&grill. I liked the thick fabric. We also recommend the platter for 2 $64, which allows you to enjoy a variety of perogies, cabbage rolls, and more, and is best shared by about 3 people.

Cafe Polonez is a wonderful polish restaurant. Featuring pierogi, schnitzel, potato pancakes, paprikash and other delicious dishes. I ve been here a number of times now and it never fails to please. The pierogi are wonderful both boiled and pan fried. The schnitzel is soft and tasty, well breaded. Everyone who I ve been with has agreed that this is a top notch experience. The atmosphere is a little loud when it gets busy and you need a reservation at busier times or be prepared to wait.

A very hearty and filling meal, making for a great representation of Polish cuisine. Thankfully came here with my girlfriend at around 5 pm on a Saturday, and the restaurant was packed to the brim by 6. We ordered the platter for 2 with was $62 (I was very glad to know that tax was ALREADY included on the menu). As you can see in the photo, the portion size was huge. The pan-fried perogies were the star of the show, the schnitzel was good (but a bit lacking in flavor), and the cabbage rolls were very intriguing yet tasty. All of these items paired very well with the combination of salads presented on the platter as well. My girlfriend wasnt the biggest fan, but I thought it was the definition of comfort food and was glad to try it out. Id love to come back and try other items on the menu! Service was slow, but overall, Id recommend coming here.

A Taste of Poland in the heart of Roncesvalles Nestled in the heart of Roncesvalles, one of Torontos most authentic neighborhoods, you will find Cafe Polonez offering an authentic Polish dining experience that is simply unforgettable. This year, we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at this charming eatery and were blown away by the exquisite flavors and warm hospitality. We indulged in a platter for two, a delightful assortment of classic Polish dishes full of flavour, including pork and chicken schnitzel, tender and satisfying pork cabbage rolls and pierogies (both potato and cheese and sauerkraut and mushrooms). I am so glad they have an option to try it all! Every bite was absolutely delicious and felt like a comforting hug from within, transporting us to a traditional Polish restaurant. The attentive and helpful staff made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and cant recommend Cafe Polonez enough. Despite not having a reservation, we were lucky enough to find a table as the place was bustling with patrons. We look forward to returning to try their entire selection of pierogies. If youre craving a taste of traditional Polish cuisine, Cafe Polonez is a must-visit. You wont be disappointed!

This decades-old Polish restaurant is a must visit. You can expect hearty, tasty plates served promptly by friendly staff in a clean, simple environment. Most dishes come with a standard selection of sides, but theyre all delicious and there are a lot of them so this is definitely a benefit rather than a drawback.

My fav polish restaurant in dt Toronto hands down. As someone who had meh experience before, I was curious about how this restaurant maintain such a high review with over 1k people rated. So I came. On my own. My server was very kind and patient with helping me to decide what to order. With her recommendation, I had the classic schnitzel with pork loin. Oh. My. Goodness. It was sooooo delicious. The three salads came with it balanced so well, and the steamed potatoes too! I was dancing during my whole meal. Of course it s big portion, I packed 1/3 home and it was still yummy the next day. Can t wait to take my friends here and share the good food together. Thank you :)

I invited a friend for dinner, who wanted to explore Polish cuisine. I told her so many great things about food at Polonez. We ordered Hungiarian Pancakes with goulash, my favourite, I had many times in the past. But I was disappointed, and bit ambarassed in front of my freind. The dish was not what I remembered from few years ago. The meat was very dry and overcooked, and overall everything was very very salty. I remembre gulash meat melting in your mouth like butter, and pancakes delicious and crispy from the outside. POLONEZ IS STILL A GREAT PLACE TO DINE.

Amazing place with delicious food! Their portions are big and have a good price. Ribs and potato pancakes are highly recommended! Also, red soup (Ukrainian borsch) must taste!

Ive reviewed CP before and will always give it a 5-star review. Authentic, home cooking which never disappoints. Wide selection of options; pierogies, schnitzel, soup, bigos, cabbage rolls, fish, and more. Skip the franchise restaurants and come here, you wont be disappointed.

A good sausage is a good sausage is what I usually say so this didn t disappoint (even if it was a side dish). The platter for 2 fed 3 of us with a few add ons and for the most part, everything tasted great with plenty leftover!

Best Polish food ever. My grandmother was Polish and her food wasn t even close to as good as Cafe Polonez. The barszcz is outstanding.

This is a nice little restaurant. Service is good as well as food. It becomes noisy when crowded.

Just had my birthday dinner there with my husband and son. From the second we entered to the second we left the service was impeccable, the waitresses were very busy but they handled it like super stars! We drove all the way from a Grimsby as the food is absolutely amazing! Great job ladies!

One of the best restaurants in the city. Got the platter for one which was loaded. Plate was delicious and included Hunter s stew, pierogies, and schnitzel with mushrooms. Highly recommended to take anyone for their first Polish food experience!

The Store was nice and clean. Staff are super kind and helpful with suggesting dishes. Goulash - super flavourful and the veggies were cooks just right Bigos (hunter stew)- soooo hardyyy. Loaded with cabbage and stewed meat and sauage Beet Soup with dumpling mushroom - Super comforting. The mushroom dumplings was cooked just right and the filling ate soo flavourful Pierogi - cheedar & potato - made in house you could taste the freshness and eaten with onions and sour cream perfect!

Been a while since been to Roncis and Polonaise. Took a friend who had never been and had authentic Polish food before. As always a great experience! Service was excellent as well as the atmosphere. Babcia would be pleased . LoL James M from Guelph

Ive been coming here for over 15 years. The service and food are excellent. A true Polish experience (coming from a Polish immigrant). The Polinez schnitzel is my go-to dish. All the soups are delicious, especially the white borscht and the tripe (my mother loves it). Also, they have very reasonably priced tasty wine by the half litre.
