Reviews
"We’ve have been thinking to visit the Blue Barbakan for 2 years, but now we had an excuse to try out this place. We didn’t regret it, it was a great experience, excellent and quick service and food was well cooked and seasoned. The prices are slightly higher than average, but in return you will get quality service and great food. I strongly recommend to everyone."
"Amazing little gem hidden away in an unassuming street but this has to be the best food I have tasted in years. Absolutely blew me away. The flavours were so intense and the scallops were to die for. The pork belly was delicious and if I could have managed it, Im certain the desserts would have been delicious too!"
"Super tasty traditional polish dishes and the waitress was lovely. The atmosphere is superb. The downstairs used to be a middle ages brothel and it is quite interesting eating there. Must have: courgette fritters!"
"Do yourself a favour and get in here to experience wholesome, homecooked, fresh & delicious dinner! We had booked for the early bird weekday special however we unfortunately had issues with transport and arrived after 7pm so we were given the regular menus. This is our own fault but it ended up costing us about £15 difference on the bill. The bread and dip on arrival is fresh & crisp. It is divine! Between us we ordered the potato & cheese perogies & fish cake starters. The fish cake was delicious however the servings seemed a little unbalanced, as there was only 1 fish cake but 3 perogies. I understand the cost difference of the menu items but just noting our thoughts on it all. For mains we ordered rabbit & goulash. Again, both were delicious and I left probably half of the potato & gravy from the goulash on the plate. The veal options were unfortunately not available, which was what my husband would have ordered so that was disappointing. We did order desserts, which looked delicious however they were unfortunately underwhelming, so from our experience, I would suggest 2 courses - entrée & main. We left extremely full and really satisfied with the service and quality of food. Highly recommend!"
"Really tasty home-cooked proper food! Very reasonably priced for the amount too! Me & my friend shared 2 main courses which was perfect. It felt very authentic but I am not that familiar with Polish food but it was certainly a bit different for me! Beautiful flavours & presented well. A friendly waitress & the interior & setting of the restaurant was also perfect. I would like to try some other dishes another time X ♥️"
