Patio

We eat here as it looked like a lovely restaurant. I had a beef stroganov, well it was stroganov with a bit of to long cooked beef. When I asked for cream for my dessert the woman looked weired at me and came back with a little can of milk... Potatos and vegetables where served seperetely, but a little plates of both for three persons is to less to get filled from. We had a much better dinner at a little Itialian restaurant a few hundred meters before this polish one, just after the BP station. We had such a nice dinner here for literaly half the price (around 6 pounds for a handmade pizza or pasta) of this polish restaurant and I was so filled of only the main plat that my stomach hurted! Much better option I will suggest to everyone!

I was in no way prepared for the dinner that I was treated to at the Patio restaurant last week. Had I known what was in store, I would have fasted that day in preparation. As it was, I left unsatisfied - I was unable to fit in the massive feast comfortably. Oh, but I wanted to eat more, I just could not. I had the blini and the duck, for the record. Both were unreasonably delicious. The duck flaked off the bone into a rich apricot sauce that caused me to almost lose consciousness in delight. I'm not exaggerating on how good this food is. I went to Dinner by Heston last night and spent £150 and dreamed the whole time of the £15.50 menu at Patio. This is now my favourite restaurant in London, which is dangerous as I live in Shepherd's Bush. When you go (and you will), please check my pulse as I will be sprawled out on the floor, gorged on Polish delicacies.

I think £15.50 for the 3 course set menu makes the food good value. I've paid almost that amount in some lousy pubs for a single plate of some lousy food. Far too many really. I enjoyed the food here, red borscht followed by golbaki with sides of honey beetroot, saute potatoes and an interesting salad. Fresh strawberries and ice cream for afters. I like the atmosphere of the place. It feels a bit like an old dining room. I would have preferred to have had a menu in Polish with English translations rather than essentially an English menu especially as the young lady who was serving had only a meagre grasp of English. I don't like being given bread with no mention of a charge only to find £160 on the bill at the end. This isn't Italy is it? I also didn't enjoy paying £3.60 for a bottle of still water. The service was a bit rushed and there was a feeling of being pushed along. There was no reason to, there was hardly likely to be a 21:30 rush for tables.

great value for money and very generous portions. good atmosphere and friendly service. would most def go here again. don't miss the borscht.
