"They don’t make them like they used to, and certainly not in the case of Daquise. This Polish spot near South Ken station feels like it hasn’t changed in half a century or so—and that’s a good thing. Fading pictures hang on the wood-panelled walls and its homely tiled dining room is full of faces who hug the staff like old friends. The menu has everything you would expect: crispy schnitzel, piquant herring, and borscht expertly ladled to the peril of every white tablecloth." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
