Bar Mleczny Stągiewna

I’ve heard about Polish milk bars from our tour of communism. I had an idea that they are similar to Filipino turo-turo (point-point) where you can tell the person behind the counter what you would like. There are usually several options and the meals are generally inexpensive. As it has been chilly, I’ve been craving soup. The lady taking the order thankfully speaks English so I didn’t have to embarrass myself with my limited Polish knowledge, phew! She told me what she had for soup and I selected beef stroganoff. She asked if I wanted bread with it which I declined. I wanted to try their pork cutlet which I obliged to have with mashed potatoes. The soup, the pork dish and water amounted to less than $15 which is certainly less expensive than most cities in the US. The soup and dish were both delicious. Just couldn’t give them 5 stars as I felt the pork would have been much better if it was hot and crunchy(it was just warm). The soup could have also been hotter. I think they don’t wipe the tables as often as they should either. This milk bar is nicely decorated though. Considering it is very close to the city center, it is undoubtedly great value for money. Oh, btw, they have an English menu but I didn’t see it until before I left 😄

Went here twice: once on the 1st of January and once before my flight, both times for lunch. Unbeatable prices at about £10 per person including a drink, and large portions. There is an English menu, but translations can be a bit confusing. Regardless, I enjoyed my time here, there is plenty of cosy seating upstairs.

Popped in for a late breakfast, Scrabble eggs with chive and Scrambled eggs with sausage & bacon. Quick friendly service downstairs and a large warm comfortable area upstairs, just what you want on a cold day. Very reasonable, nay cheap, prices. Want to find time to return, so a definite recommendation.

My first of Poland’s Milk bars. Quality home cooking served without a smile - the Polish way. Which is the correct way in Poland. However quite lovely underneath. I will be back tomorrow……..with flowers. 🌹

Good selection of classic Polish dishes at very fair prices. Service is friendly and efficient, even when it’s busy. Simple but clean interior, with a casual and relaxed atmosphere. A great place to enjoy hearty local food without breaking the budget.

This was extremely impressive, the shop is a little like a work/school canteen, but please don’t be put off. Read the list of food items before joining the queue. The food quality is excellent, the price is inexpensive, the staff are helpful, English is spoken a little. The service is fast but the quality is very high. Staff were amazing, friendly knowledgeable and helpful despite the volume of customers. Indoor snd outdoor seating with many locals as well as tourists.

Amazing food. Came back twice in a day. Everything was tasty!!! 100% recommended.

The Bar Mleczny is nicely decorated and modern. Some dishes were very tasty, while others weren't. Unfortunately, the cheesecake was a bit burnt. Compared to similar restaurants, it was a bit expensive.

Great breakfast in walking distance to our hotel. Love Polish Milk bars! Had the eggs with bacon fresh bread and a cider and everything was delicious! Had to toss in a couple of the cheese blintzes because why not! Great place to come if you don't want the cookie cutter hotel breakfast. They have the menu listed in English as well for those intimated by ordering in Polish!

Authentic polish food. Very good! We had the golabki. Tasted just like Babcia's. Delicious and great price as well. A must stop if your in Gdańsk.

Delicious polish food at a cute milk bar! The staff was very nice and helped me order since I couldn't read the polish menu. It is true that the prices here are higher than other milk bars, but the interior seemed fancier, and it's also on a very nice street!
