Cafe Polonia

"A Polish restaurant called Cafe Polonia that had been in operation on Dorchester Avenue for nearly two decades seemed to have closed its doors for good, but has re-opened." - Terrence Doyle

"Café Polonia, a rare Boston outpost of Central European fare, doing modest, fine Polish cuisine." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"A Polish restaurant closed its doors for good after nearly two decades." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"If you told us that Cafe Polonia is an exact reproduction of a little bed and breakfast in the pine-covered hills outside Gdansk, we’d believe you (and that’s not just because it stocks a ton of Polish beer you probably won’t find anywhere else). This tiny little cabin of a restaurant in Andrew Square is where we want to wait out every snowstorm, with the help of some potato pancakes and borsch. It helps that it’s pretty cheap, too - plenty of dishes on the menu, like the Vienna pork chop, will fill you up for under $20." - dan secatore

"Andrew Square is mostly a place you pass through instead of hanging out in. But when you go to Cafe Polonia, a comfortable little Polish restaurant, you could trick yourself into thinking there’s a birch forest outside instead of an auto glass shop. This place makes big plates of pierogies, potato pancakes, and a lot of other things you wouldn’t mind eating on a 30-degree day in February, and has an extensive selection of Polish beer that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else in the city. photo credit: Tina Picz" - Dan Secatore
