Daquise - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, South East)

3 /5 Anastasiia T: The food is good but nothing special. If you grew up on food like this, you will get the flavours that will send you back home, but to be honest, for such price and place I expected more. Zurek soup was something new for me and the flavour was good. Unfortunately, I got an egg shell and it immediately affected my impression. Pork tenderloin was good with intense mustard sauce. Liver doesnt come with a side so the waiter helpfully suggested ordering something for the side, but I didnt make the right decision going for fried sauerkraut. Better to pair it with mash potatoes. The liver portion was too big, and again, nothing special when it comes to flavour. The place looks nice and the service is on high level. The seats along the wall are uncomfortable and too high (or the table is too low) so your knees are jammed.

5 /5 S J: Delightful experience last evening at Daquise. The restaurant feels authentic and rightfully so since it’s been there for decades and hopefully will stay to delight future generations who will appreciate delicious and authentic Polish cuisine. The waitress was truly fantastic at recommending the perfect dishes to taste the best offerings of the restaurant. Each dish was packed with flavour and perfectly cooked without any unnecessary adornments. We started with their dumplings, three varieties, all tasty. Then we moved onto the starters and the highlight was the potato pancakes with smoked salmon, a pairing that was absolutely perfect. The crispness of the pancakes and the softness of the salmon and the right balance of flavours. The mains didn’t disappoint, beef goulash was tender with a sauce that was thick but not heavy. Veal escalope had a melt in the mouth texture with a stunning velvety sauce that made you want to mop it up with bread. To finish off the meal we ordered the Apple fritters and the cheesecake. The fritters were one of the best and simple desserts we’ve had. The cheesecake was ok but the fritters truly tasted like something from a grandma’s kitchen made with love. You won’t be disappointed dining here and the atmosphere adds to the down to earth yet charming vibe to the place.

5 /5 Laura Balik: Polish cuisine, what more could you want? A restaurant with soul, history (established in 1947), and a unique atmosphere. A place with class and style. Places like this are becoming increasingly rare in London. Delicious food, no-nonsense service, and affordable prices. I highly recommend it.

5 /5 Her Slow Journey: What an absolute gem of a place. The food is fantastic, with simple, high-quality ingredients cooked beautifully. The restaurant is beautiful - I loved the aesthetic. It feels calm and welcoming without being pretentious. I had the chicken soup and dumplings. Both dishes were full of flavour and made with care.
