POLKA Restaurant

I booked a reservation when I had seen the place. I knew I had to go. I was in Germany for a week and I waited 5 whole days to get here. The anticipation was building and by god, did it not disappoint. The restaurant is very tiny. I suppose there is also a bar, and the person I was with thought the restaurant might be closed because online it said the bar was. Not to worry! We walked in and we're instantly greeted and sat. The place was bumping. We sat next to a table of 6 who were having a great time. The energy was right, and the vibes were on. I spoke a little German and my guest only spoke English, and this wasn't a problem. We got a beer and a cocktail to start and I feel as though in my tipsy state I may have ordered the whole menu. Everything was fantastic, and the one thing that really stood out to me was the pasta.

The food was good, but the portions are quite small—definitely meant for sharing. We were four women and ordered five different dishes to split, which worked well for us. However, I doubt four men would have left feeling full. What really put a damper on the experience was the service. The staff reminded us multiple times that we only had the table for two hours, yet they were slow throughout the meal. Ironically, the moment our time was up, they appeared with the bill without being asked.

Great experience: high quality food with some good variation in dishes, attentive waiters, laid-back interior...thumbs up, will be back here very soon!!

Had a fantastic dinner, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was very welcoming and stylish. Lino made the whole evening feel special with his friendly, attentive service :)

The food was good, but is it a French standard to feed whole grown up people with diet portions? Seriously, it's dinner time and the main dish portion is essentially a portion of food I'd eat as an entrée. After the main dish I was still very hungry. This is not okay. The plate is also very small. You can't do that.

Nice place, tasty wine but 50 minutes waiting time… The food is not my piece of cake as well ;c

Wonderful food in a very cozy and inviting atmosphere. The drinks menu is full of classics and unique combinations, and the food menu is simple, yet very refined. Everything we had was delicious and came at a fair price. We will definitely be coming back and recommending Polka to friends.

I visited this past Saturday night and was really impressed with their food. I’ve had a lot of meat on this trip (obviously) so I went for the asparagus ravioli. It had a ton of shaved cheese, a great sauce, and some thinly sliced nuts plus some small greens on top. I can honestly say this is the BEST ravioli I have tasted in my life. My waitress that night was very friendly, helped me with translation, and even chatted a bit about my trip despite them being very busy. The only reason I subtracted 1 star was the other waitress who was the one who I met when I came in. She multiple times gave the impression that she didn’t like that she had to give me a (2 seat) table as only 1 person. They were very busy but I planned to spend plenty on my meal and was happy to wait the 15 minutes at the bar until a table was cleaned (already empty but still dirty). That was no problem but she didn’t offer me a drink and when she had to squeeze past me to move a chair she was rather… put out (small restaurant with not much space) that I was at the bar. By the way, that was my suggestion, she would have just let me leave and I requested to wait. Overall a great experience and I’m still thinking about the ravioli. Maybe the one lady was having a bad day or doesn’t like travelers, not sure. But definitely still recommend, just be ready to wait a bit if it’s a busy time. Worth it Oh and I really enjoyed the Tempranillo

Whoever took the time to craft this gorgeous noodle deserves a large amount of praise. We sat and ate the dishes that came out in good time. We chatted and laughed and enjoyed the evening. If you're in the mood for excellent food and very cozy vibes by all means swing by. This place is worth stopping for. This place is worth waiting for. This place is somewhere that will now live in the back of my mind as one of my favorite plates. Thank you for that.

Intimate, Great food and friendly service. I would make a reservation as it is pretty full around dinner time.
