Borsch Vodka & Tears

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this unique restaurant. We tried the vodka tasting tray (highly recommend to explore the different flavours) and the food was sublime. The borsch was delicious with an exquisite and intense broth. The lamb croquette, potato blintzes with salmon, and cheese and potato pierogi were all flavourful and amazing. The polish crockery was beautiful too. We visited because we wanted to try something special that we cannot get in our home country and we were so pleased delighted with everything we tried. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

A bit delayed review - caught up with a mate for lunch here a week or so ago and WOW. A visit here had been on the list for a while and finally made it. A chilled place, interiors are nice in a very understated way - though the smaller 2 seater tables can be a bit squishy and tight for space. The food was definitely the star and the highlight was the Pierogi- the flavours were just delish ( I could eat them for a whole meal). The Goulash was a surprise when it arrived but the flavours OMG. Would be absolutely perfect for a winters afternoon. Overall a lovely meal and pocket friendly as well.

Absolutely amazing experience. The food the service was outstanding. The place was so cute and cosy and the interior was so well decorated. It's such a nice winter feel, so many different vodkas to choose from but it was the food that blew me away.

An amazing bistro bar for Friday night with friends. I booked a table a day before, and we got a nice table beside the window. All staffs are friendly and the foods were incredibly delicious. There are 20 pages of alcohol which can fit everyone’s demand, really recommend this lovely place.

Stunning Polish food with such a lovely variety of sharing dishes. It was fun to try a new cuisine, cooked with a homey touch. The range of vodkas was impressive, with a comprehensive menu explaining each flavour. The staff explained each dish and offered their suggestions as well. Food was prepared quickly and cocktails were made on recommendation of the bartenders. Sweet atmosphere suitable for couples and small groups, definitely a warm feel to the establishment. Tables and chairs perhaps a bit hard and cold for Melbourne’s winter nights, but nothing to complain about really!

Delicious Polish Classics & homemade from Grandma's recipe's. Will be back to fill the table up Tapas style. We didn't drink so the bill was very reasonable 🙏

Food was good. I chose the vegan Borsch and cauliflower chicken. Cocktails were good too. I used to come here a lot before covid. Nice to see the place still had a lot of character and that the food options are more inclusive!

Delicious! We loved the Reuben Fries, Pierogi (Porcini and Cheese & Onion), Goulash and Pork schnitzel. Also the hot honey vodka tea was delightful!
