Tatra
Despite the surfeit of Poles in West London, upmarket Polish eateries remain as scarce as hens’ teeth. Tatra is one major exception, with its designer-driven decor and ever-so-cool waiting staff. The menu offers all the usual favourites as well as less familiar treats, such as kaszanka (grilled black pudding with toast and apple) and a risotto of kasza (buckwheat groats) and wild mushrooms.

L'autre
How this small restaurant in Shepherd's Market came to serve dishes as incongruous as borscht and burritos is a tale too complex to tell here, but the food and the atmosphere (mock Tudor décor with Georgian elements) work well together. Overall, though, we'd head east for dishes like golambki (stuffed cabbage) and Polish roast pork (around £14) rather than south of the border.

Daquise
This dinosaur – a loveable little tyrannosaurus indeed – is a rather dowdy Polish cafe-cum-diner, with a good range of vodkas and extremely reasonably priced dishes, including the oft-seen bigos (£8), a ‘hunter’s stew’ of cabbage and pork, stuffed cabbage (£8.50) and ravioli-like pierogi (£6.50)

Ognisko
This is Polish style of another world and time: a clubby baroque dining room filled with portraits, chandeliers and mirrors and overlooking a verdant square. But stick with the basics at ‘The Hearth’: barszcz czwerwony (beetroot soup) and pierogi (dumplings stuffed with meat or cheese and potatoes).

Stara Polska
As authentic a restauracja polska as you'll find west of Warsaw, 'Old Poland' serves up simple but well-made favourites to veteran and newly arrived Polish London residents alike. Surely this is just the start of a trend towards 'mom and pop' Polish eateries across London.
