If you want to try great Polish food without eating in a medieval cellar or barnyard interior, then seek out Starka, whose classic, dark interior with its timber ceiling and bar crammed full of coloured bottles more resembles a 19th century pub, thanks in part to the caricatures by Heinrich Zille that cover the walls. Famed for its in-house flavoured vodka concoctions, you can't leave without trying a few, but be wary that you don't spoil your appetite. The menu of perfectly prepared Polish food ranges from handmade dumplings to smoked duck breast and is a great value for your money.
