The Best MUST TRY POLISH FOOD! Piergoi, Goulash, Potato Dumplings, Kompot & More in Wroclaw

Every single dish has a story behind it. People have been queuing up to eat at this place. I kind of just thought we were coming to a traditional Polish restaurant. How huge is this plate? Delicious flavours all round. It just works perfectly. We are here in the beautiful Polish city of Wrocław and we are about to head to a traditional Polish restaurant to order some amazing Polish food. A feast is what we've got in mind. I've already looked at the menu, I've already sussed out some of the things we want to get. We're very hungry, very excited, so we are heading to a place called Konspira, I think, which should be around this corner. Now, we only landed here yesterday. And we are already amazed by the architecture here. Like I've just turned onto this street and look at the amazing buildings behind me. And then you look this way and there's an amazing church. It's just everywhere you look is stunning. So yeah, super excited to be here. I need to be more excited for today's lunch. Okay, we're here a few minutes early for our reservation and it seems they don't actually open until one o'clock because we've got about three minutes to wait but I'll show you this while we're waiting. We have been loving finding these little gnomes around the city so far, it's so fun. People have been queuing up to eat at this place which is usually a good sign. Luckily we've booked the table. Okay, we are all set up. My head is glistening because it's so warm outside today. And we said in the last video, we're filming this video a couple of months behind because we've still got some videos from our last trip going on the channel. So if you're thinking you're watching this and it's cold, it's currently like the end of summer for us as we're filming this video. Just to cut all confusion, it's like snowing here and we're here in like t-shirts. You're thinking what is going on? You're crazy. We're not, well we are, but that's a separate issue. So this place is awesome. It's actually more amazing than I expected it to be. I kind of just thought we were coming to a traditional Polish restaurant for some lunch, But the history here, And what we've learned already is amazing. Like everywhere you look, there's like, it's a car. Like, this is amazing. There's information everywhere you look. There's like posters up. It's meant to. So the room we were in a minute ago that we filmed is the conspirators room. And it says, let's transport you to 1980s in Poland. Discover the history of Wroclaw. I'm still getting my pronunciation right of the city. A city that bravely fought against communism. And it basically, the menu is just like information after information. Every single dish has a story behind it, which I love as well. Like how interesting is that? And there's an amazing menu here. It was quite hard to choose what to get, but we've gone for the Solidarity menu, Drake's Dainty menu, and then I love the kids menu, they've called it Young Troublemakers menu. So we've got some pierogies as well coming, so very excited. So this is Revolutionary's meal, and we've got the potato dumplings, fried Kopytka with beef tenderloin goulash served with mixed salad which looks amazing and I love here how many like different side dishes come with everything so it's not just like your meat and potatoes you get all these extra bits and then this one here which is yeah striped stein tea ribs on fried cabbage with the roasted potatoes horseradish pickled cucumbers and cottage cheese um price wise I mean it's quite expensive but like I think it's gonna be quite a big meal there's so much other stuff here as well see how I struggled to choose what to go for I mean I was very tempted by this, I nearly went for this but... But the other ones, the potatoes and everything in the other ones, just, it looked too good. And if you're coming with a big group, then this would definitely be what you have to order. It looks incredible, like the pork knuckle and stuff. Okay, drinks have arrived, and I can't decide which to go for first. Apparently, this is a traditional Polish drink. It looks very brightly coloured. Like, that cannot be natural. But it looks pretty delicious. It looks like something as a kid I would have loved. It kind of reminds me of cherryade, but I've got no idea what to expect. I obviously don't read Polish. And then this one, it's got the name of the restaurant on, but I think it's a traditional fruit drink, kompot. Oh that is literally my childhood, it smells like bubble gum. Yeah it's very much like a cherryade, so so satisfying. And then the compote, oh that smells good. i like that a lot i like that more a lot more natural i don't know if it is natural but it tastes like the real deal instead of artificial it's kind of like a blackberry kind of taste blackcurranty but a tiny bit sweet but not too sweet and there's some sort of like sediment in the bottom of it as well probably should have shaken it before drinking actually okay the kids fargies have come i think these are the ones with the cottage cheese and the potatoes they look amazing and then this looking even more amazing look at the size like i've got fairly big hands i would say how huge is this plate it looks so good the seasoning all the different sides it comes with These are always the best as well. So excited to tuck in. Of course, I'm gonna have to start with the meat here. I mean, I don't usually eat ribs with a knife and fork, but. I'll try and do it for you guys on camera. Okay here we go just gonna have the ribs on their own to start. Delicious, the meat's soft, the sauce has slight sweetness to it, loads of flavour though, the potatoes, the colour on the potatoes are great and I'm gonna have that with some of this cabbage. Our phones are doing so many different things all day, emails, editing videos, filming videos, entertainment, actual phone calls, which we've pretty much forgotten that is actually what a phone is for, watching back our own vlogs and stuff before posting them. Basically it is used the time and battery life drains fast. A massive thank you to the sponsor of today's vlog. This is the new iNew Pocket Rocket P50. When I'm trying to run errands throughout the day and don't want to carry around a bulky power bank, this one is literally credit card sized. I actually had this in my pocket next to my AirPods the other day and it's almost the same size. It weighs just 160 grams but packs a 10,000 milliamps and up to 45 watt fast charging. So you've always got a cable with you without having to dig around in your bag or wherever. The display here is It shows you how much battery life you have left too. So if you're out all day like us and relying on your phone for everything, it's a really handy little backup to keep with you. I'll put a link in the description if you want to check it out and hope you enjoy the rest of today's vlog. And yes, I am on the roof of the car. I better get down now. I want to know how they get the texture of potatoes like that. There's almost this like, they're soft, but there's a little bite to them. I can't describe it. Do you get what I mean? If I made a potato, I feel like it would go all mushy, but they're still like, they're cooked through, but they're still kind of, is it the type of potato? I don't know, but they're amazing. And we've got a couple of sauces here and I've got no idea what they are. I've still got a menu, let me see. So there's a horseradish dip and a cottage cheese. And then we've got our massive pickles here as well. And I feel like it all just tastes good together, doesn't it? Cottage cheese is so creamy. Try some of this horseradish dip with the potato. Little bit of heat, but not too much. Oh, this is amazing. You're gonna love this. So I've got the goulash, traditional goulash here with these potato pancakes, which are just the crispiest, delicious things. Haven't tried these ones yet. They look... where's some cutlery? Thank you very much, assistant. Lucy just gave me a look for calling her an assistant. What is it? What meat is it? Beef goulash, the best meat. So beef goulash, potato pancakes, beetroot salad and cabbage. Oh, look at this. This is just. I'm just gonna try some of the beef in the sauce. my perfect meal instantly, so much flavor in the sauce, the meat is soft and full of flavor itself and then you can get this crispy fried, let me show you one of these quickly crispy fried potato pancake, look at that in the sunlight, just complements the sauce Sauce. perfectly, they're a little bit salty as well and the goulash isn't over salty, so together it's just this perfect balance, that's something I have to say like The balance is just right. It is very balanced. Perfect, like you have I don't know if you can hear me. There's quite a bit of saltiness, the right amount of, like... There's a good amount of meat, there's a good amount of carbohydrates, there's the veg, there's the dips, the balance is always right. You know some dishes you get when it's really meat-heavy, or there's loads of potato and there's not enough meat, or there's no veg, there's nothing... That's true. It's all different flavours, textures, little bits of spice, little bits of, yeah, the horseradish heat, the cottage cheese that kind of balances that out. You really get everything, and then the cold, even the temperatures, you've got the cold pickles on the plate, the warm food. And I guess like it's a similar concept wise. It's similar to that traditional English food, like meat, potatoes and veg, but just way more flavour. English food gets a bad rep for being a bit bland. That's not the case here. I'm trying it with some of the cabbage, which again gives that cold element to the plate. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Delicious flavours all round. it just works perfectly i could eat this every single day okay so we've ordered the dessert because there's only one dessert on the menu it's a tradition like a homemade cake every day today's traditional dessert which i assume is traditional it looks like some kind of cheesecake and we've got like a berry compote some whipped cream i think berries and whipped cream seem to be quite a thing here i have to say so let's give it a go it looks baked actually doesn't it that's why it's got the um darker top it's got such a different texture to any cheese we've ever had really It's almost like powdery but it's not powdery at all, it's really hard to describe. How am I going to describe this on camera? The taste is great. It's like kind of vanilla. The berries make it really delicious. The cream's great. How was the meal? Really good. It was 283,000. No, it wasn't 1,000. 283. I'm still very confused by the currency. We're not in Indonesia. 56 pounds that's really good. That's cheaper than last night's dinner. So portions are huge, people are really nice, I think it gets busy so book if you can. I think they were accepting walk-ins, people were like queuing up to get in when it opened and something I liked about it, I don't know if you agree, sometimes the traditional restaurants in places like this, in like big cities, they're a little bit like touristy, the food's not great, it's a bit sort of mass produced and then you end up paying a price tag because it's like try this traditional dish but like that was genuinely great food and very well thought out and I really loved it so It's not the last of the Polish food on this trip. We've got many more restaurants to come, don't worry. But yeah, I'm glad we filmed this video today because it just meant getting to order tons of stuff off the menu. Maybe you're like us and you travel for food. I can safely say that is what we do. We love seeing so many things. But food is one of the top three reasons that we travel 100%. Poland, you've done it again. You've impressed us with your food. Comment below if we missed any... Obviously we can't try like 20 dishes in one lunch. because they would just end up with so much food waste but we always feel when we film these types of videos that maybe there was something we missed and we can't help having a little bit of FOMO especially when you see some other dishes going out and you've already finished your meal like ah what was that could i have ordered that could i've enjoyed that um comment below if we kind of missed anything out if you if you know your polish food because i don't think this will be our last trip in poland definitely not this is our second time in the country we were here in 2024 or five and so yeah we've come back to poland 100% food is one of the main reasons so yeah let's Let us know in the comments if there's anywhere else we should check out. Also any other cities in Poland, because this is the second place we've been to. We did Krakow before and now we're here. So is there somewhere else? We've heard Gdansk is really, really nice.
