Żurek, Pierogi (dumplings) many kinds with meat,cottage cheese or fruits, Bigos, Kwaśnica soup, Kartacze (a kind of noodle with meat inside),Schabowy (poilsh version of wiener schnitzel, Gołąbki (minced meat with rice wrapped with cabbage leaves). You can try Kaszanka sausage. Sękacz cake.Polish ginger bread from Toruń.
I am afraid, that you have fallen into tourist traps. It is not a trap for foreigners, but for Polish people from cities. So for good polish food, you need a better restaurant. It was not an original wooden house, but it was built a few years ago in a touristy town surrounded by market stalls with crapy things for a tourist.

Yes to me it looked like if she just is not confident enough (most probably the language barrier) like if she panicked a bit I think she didn't want to be rude but it looks like she is. Sometimes ppl are reserved because they are scared of failing so she just literally run away omg.. but Andre deserves a better quality service and waiting time was unacceptable.

The service in entire country went bad. Restaurants barely survived pandemic, and now they are getting around 300% rise on bills for electricity and gas. So they are firing employees and are left with skeleton crews in many places. Waiting time, service, overall experience is much worse than 4-5 years ago. Of course it's not the case in all of places, but I surely noticed it in many restaurants.
To be honest service in 90% of restaurants was always terrible in Poland, even worse than in France. In America or the UK this would be called an insult.

This service standard is pretty common in random restaurants in Poland. Sometimes I feel like if you just want to eat something out, get it relatively quick and cheap, you better go for fast foods, if you want to try something traditional or “more exclusive” you need to find more expensive and higher quality restaurant.

Great one again from Ustroń is at the very top of a mountain Równica above the city - you can easily go there by a car too if you need. There are actually 2 restaurants, one is Zbójnicka Chata which is OK but the great one is called Dwór Skibowki - it has a GREAT view from the mountain and great food. We ordered a full course (korytko) meant for 4 people - and we couldn't finish it in 6 people. :D
Żurek was a good choice - one of our national soups, my personal favorite. Rolada śląska (Silesian) is typical for Silesian province, but in other provinces popular as well. Rolada can be easily made wrong if cook is not experienced enough. You need to visit "karczma's" that have "hunting dishes" with venison as well.

And I want to say thank you, because people from around the world can now see how nice our country is, and that the situation with war is not touching us personally :) Wish u all best bro, take care
Soup was żur or żurek made from sour rye flour, its my favourite one. 2nd meal was rolada śląska z kluskami śląskimi, a typical silesian Sunday meal, also one of my fav but I grew up on it. Polish food is not spicy its usually sour and in mountain region of Poland I would recommend kwaśnica, pierogi, grilled oscypki with cranberry sauce. Meals there are simple but usually tasty.
Possibly. If that is the case, she might thing of other job then waitress. The last time I check, waitress is suppose to comunicate with customers freely. That is like having veterinarian scared of animals.
Poland was my favorite place that I travelled to in Europe. I love the medieval atmosphere especially with the food and architecture. Super underrated country that not many Americans go to.
No, however busy you are, that is not the way you present food to your customer. But, maybe, they made a mistake in the kitchen, he had to wait very long, so the girl was afraid that he might complain and she cannot answer in English. See how she was looking to his table when later on she was passing to the next table.
@@NoLimitNo In their defence, I would probably gave him the same look. Probably as every other Pole. It's not like we're racist and are looking at you from an upper side - we're just plainly curious since we don't have many foreigners in our country, especially at countyside. I myself am from a big city and whenever I see a foreigner I just cannot fight the urge to look at him for a split second. So just be aware that this look isn't supposed to be rude.
@@johannessugito1686 Yeah, it looks the same way for me as well as she was just too scared to serve the customer the right way. I wouldn't blame her but she could say something at least as Andre gets some of polish words :)
Personally I feel that recording without consent didn’t really help your case… especially in a place like Poland where people can interpret this as being impolite. Still, I appreciate you documenting your travels and sharing it with us
In Toruń and some big cities there is Pierogarnia Stary Młyn with traditional baked or cooked pierogi. They are very delicious! Korona in Kłodzko isn't restaurant with traditional Polish food, but food is very, very delicious and cheap if you buy a set for 2 people (for 2 people it's very much food, I couldn't eat it all with my parents).
If you need spicy then ask for spices,because not everyone lika sipcy food.That girl who put your food on the table edge,I can tell ,she was just afraid of you.
If you decide to come to Hungary again, I'd recommend a small villiage ~60 km south from Budapest called Tass. There's a great little restaurant on the side of the Danube called Pákász. Their food is godlike. If they're still open that is. Been a while since I've been there. But according to google they're still open 12-20
I think the service was feeling shy beacuse they didn't know English and also they weren't very happy to be on camera. I think it would have been polite to ask if the team was OK with filming. In busy tourist places sometimes you can wait long for your food, I've once waited for an hour for my meal in a restaurant on Hel and they also did not appologize. So they probably treat like that all their customers: foreigners and Polish. The main problem I see here is that the waiter's role is not only to provide the food but also to make the customer feel welcome. And they didn't even smile at you. They certainly failed it.
11:53 when I was in one pub which I love it is called Buffalo in Kazincbarcika, Hungary. Once, only once I waited for my second course for 40 minutes since I had finished the first course. They told me just after some 25 minutes that the dis did not succeed and they had to make another one. That was the reason for such a long waiting. :) Not I am laughing at the situation. :)
Hi André, Thanks for the nice video from my country. Thanks also for the warning against this restaurant and honest feedback, I will definitely not go there when I am passing through. Well done.
Long waiting times may be caused by an incomplete crew of chefs. It's about maximizing profits at the expense of customers' time. The reduced number of customers in restaurants after the pandemic has magnified such situations. Probably normal waiting time is 25-30 minutes.
Whenever I take my Hungarian friends to Poland, my mother lives in nearby Istebna, and they love the Polish food so much, they appreciate is so much that they always ask me to go to my mothers again. The problem is I did not eat the second course with you. It looked good but who knows how it tasted.
Mój ojciec pochodzi z Istebnej i kilka razy się przechodziło idąc do jego rodzinnego domu obok izby pamięć Jerzego Kukuczki.. swoją droga piękne miejsce Bo pana nazwisko chyba nie jest przypadkowe pozdrawiam
Mate you've got to dodge these generic lager beers and try the craft IPAs in Poland, there are more decent ones to choose from here than even back in the UK! There are micro-breweries everywhere. I guess maybe not in the rural area where you are, that's why they gave you Warka haha. Greetings from Bialystok.
Of course is safe. I lived in UK for 10 hand now I live in USA from 2006 and Poland is so, so much safer for everyone, for man and woman, for kids and for old men. Especially in the cities, Polish cities are one of the safest in the world. I know because I visited so many countries all the world.
I personally love that food so much. The red cabbage is great. As a child I hated it, nowadays I love it so much. Here in Hungary we love the red cabbage as well. The girl must have not liked it to be filmed. A lot of people these days hate to be in the camera they try to void it and because they do not know English they will not tell you just show you they do not appreciate this. :) I had similar situation with me and my Polish friends in Czech Republic. They simply did not give me anything because we spoke Polish. I could not understand why they did that to us. So we had to go to another place to eat and have something for a drink.
hi Andre, I see that you were traveling pretty close to my hometown, sorry for the bad experience in Ustron restaurant but I highly recommend restaurants at the Rownica mountain in Ustron as well, there is Karczma Skibowka or Zbojnicka Chata. If you have more time and you have a car, I recommend you go to town named Koniakow, which is not too far from Ustron and there is Karczma Ochodzita, all are real traditional Polish kitchens with live music on weekends. You will be positively surprised. Regards from Australia. Cheers mate
polish people are shy when speaking english, especially while being recorded when if you make a mistake it will forever stay on yt and peoplle will make fun of you forever. just a bit of understanding - imagine if someone records your every conversation in polish and make fun of your speaking abilities ;)
sometimes you can find bad restaurants the same dishes and they taste different than you eat elsewhere, look for good restaurants recommended and well rated in Poland and then you can check how good food tastes in a good place
Traditional Polish food is not spice heavy, it's a hearty food that was meant to feed and provide sustenance for the old world which was a tough way of life did not have the access to the variety of spices that we are now all used to. You will find more flavors in the new age restaurants. Unfortunate that the service was sub par as we're known for our hospitality.
That yellow things are named kluski the are made like that: You boil the water with potatoes When the potatoes are ready you take them mix them so they are realy Soft and then you add some flour and mix again and then you just roll them with your hands so they look like balls and then you boil them again and done
Hello Andre! Loved your video. I am sorry you had to experience this kind of "customer service" but I feel like I want to explain why this girl acted so strange. It was probably because they had many orders and she was stressed and in a hurry. She might have wanted to avoid the conversation to avoid speaking in English. We are still very shy to speak English and it might look very rude sometimes. Still, it shouldn't happen, it's a very bad service. Great lesson for them. 👏
In Ustron i recomend Sielanka restaurant outside the center .by Rownica mointain behind You there is nice restaurant . The beer in Beskidy only from Cieszyn Castle brewery
Try golabki with tomato sauce, nalesniki and bigos,. For dessert paczek and piernik (piernik only in Torun city) Czarnina soup is also interestng, its soup made from duck blood. Unusual taste and important tradicional meaning, you eat this one when you want to marry polish girl and your proposal was declined by her parrents at official lunch, this tradition is dead now. For dessert paczek and piernik (piernik only in Torun city)
I dated a lady from Krakow for a few years. A well-kept secret for finding good food in rural areas is the police station. Many have canteens in them that are open to the employees AND the general public. The ones she took me to had kitchens that were staffed by 6 - 10 sturdy women who could only bring the thought "grandma" to mind. Some of the best food I've ever had in my LIFE...!!
I don't understand what is wrong with the service? Foreigners are treated like everybody else. The restaurant looks nice and clean and the food looks good too. It's not a fast food restaurant, so you have to wait a little. As I see you had your soup and beer in ten minutes. People usually go to restaurant with friends and family, so they feel time differently. It looks like they made the food freshly, so it's took some time. You should Google the traditional foods what you want to try. The staff was helpful and the Polish people are friendly. Not everybody speaks English and not everybody like to be filmed without permission. If your standards are so high, do your research, prepare better, go to a more expensive restaurant and pay more.

You can clearly see food isn't anything special enough to wait an hour for a damn thing. As for service noone even gave him menu and he needed to ask waiter to come to him to make order, which is a terrible start especially consiedering fact they don't have that much people to serve, on top of that waitress didn't even give him plate, just putted it wherever on table and ran away. You can't really even call it service can you? It's year 2022 if you want to work as a waitress you need to be prepared that people may film and photograph stuff, if you are shy it's just not a job for you. If you are used to this bad service maybe it's time to find some new restaurant and see how different it is when staff actually pay some attention to customers
@@truthoutmedia you're right, YT is not (or shouldn't be about clickbait), but why did you say mate to Andre and then when this guy replied, you put it in inverted commas 'mate'?
Firstly, it is not a wild animal fur but domestic cattle fur. I know you may feel being ignored by waitress but this might not be necessarily as you consider. Polish teens from small towns and villages are usually shy. They are not used to speak English and deal with foreign tourists. They are afraid of conversation in English.
I wonder if the waitress was simply shy because she did not speak English or perhaps she thought putting the plate just in front of you (and showing up in the frame) might interfere with your recording. People in Poland tend to be very sensitive that way.
Hello Andre, sorry about your terrible restaurant experience. I am a new subscriber looking forward to other Poland experiences. If I ever I visit Poland i will follow your recommendation.💜💜
If you're still in Ustroń, please give me a sign. I live here. I can take you to the good restaurant and show you tasty meal ;) Podkowa wasn't a good choise :)
Did you try any dish with mushrooms? Picking mushrooms in Poland is like a national sport. There are plenty of them in the forests and you can pick them freely, almost all Poles love it and recognize the most popular and precious genres: prawdziwki, podgrzybki, kozaki, kurki, kanie, maślaki etc. (there aren't even English names for them). Polish people dry, freeze or pickle them to keep them fresh for a longer time. We sometimes add them to bigos or pierogi or make soups or sauses of them. Some of them like kanie or boczniaki taste really good done as a kotlet (put in a raw egg and bread crumbs and fried). Yummie👍
She was just scared that you would start to ask questions in English. Plus don't expect the staff to be rocket scientists, especially in a place like this.
Dzien dobry, recommendations for GOOD traditional Polish food?
All good for You 💪🇵🇱
Żurek, Pierogi (dumplings) many kinds with meat,cottage cheese or fruits, Bigos, Kwaśnica soup, Kartacze (a kind of noodle with meat inside),Schabowy (poilsh version of wiener schnitzel, Gołąbki (minced meat with rice wrapped with cabbage leaves). You can try Kaszanka sausage. Sękacz cake.Polish ginger bread from Toruń.
You must try "zapiekanka" i love this food in Poland, but I can't tell you where to find her.
Mostly an ordinary food stall
I forgot about Flaki.
For me, "zapiekanka" is the most traditional food in Poland.
I am afraid, that you have fallen into tourist traps. It is not a trap for foreigners, but for Polish people from cities. So for good polish food, you need a better restaurant. It was not an original wooden house, but it was built a few years ago in a touristy town surrounded by market stalls with crapy things for a tourist.

@@pacechcz normally people do not record waitresses, so what are you talking about... she didn't sign up for being on a video on yt.
Lots of waitresses they dont have good English or in some cases even polish because they immigrated to Poland they dont like to be recorded.
Poland was my favorite place that I travelled to in Europe. I love the medieval atmosphere especially with the food and architecture. Super underrated country that not many Americans go to.
It was steamed and apple flavoured cabbage what you ate in Hungary. I hope you enjoyed Hungary much, and you'll come back with good feelings.
You are very positive person .Have a nice trip.
The title is definitely an overexaggeration. The servers were just busy, I'm pretty sure the bad service had nothing to do with you being a foreigner.
I guess you think that every customer there is getting the same looks as that woman gave him @11:28 and @13:02
No, however busy you are, that is not the way you present food to your customer. But, maybe, they made a mistake in the kitchen, he had to wait very long, so the girl was afraid that he might complain and she cannot answer in English. See how she was looking to his table when later on she was passing to the next table.
@@NoLimitNo In their defence, I would probably gave him the same look. Probably as every other Pole. It's not like we're racist and are looking at you from an upper side - we're just plainly curious since we don't have many foreigners in our country, especially at countyside.
I myself am from a big city and whenever I see a foreigner I just cannot fight the urge to look at him for a split second. So just be aware that this look isn't supposed to be rude.
@@johannessugito1686 Yeah, it looks the same way for me as well as she was just too scared to serve the customer the right way. I wouldn't blame her but she could say something at least as Andre gets some of polish words :)
@@NoLimitNo Did you see how she was looking at other customers throughout the day? No of course you didn't, so stop reading into it so much.
Ja tych ludzi rozumiem nie wszyscy lubią być filmowani a reakcje mogą być skrajne ...
Personally I feel that recording without consent didn’t really help your case… especially in a place like Poland where people can interpret this as being impolite. Still, I appreciate you documenting your travels and sharing it with us
How do you know he was recording without consent?
@@KamilaMorzyblurred faces on film usually insinuate there was no consent given.
In Toruń and some big cities there is Pierogarnia Stary Młyn with traditional baked or cooked pierogi. They are very delicious!
Korona in Kłodzko isn't restaurant with traditional Polish food, but food is very, very delicious and cheap if you buy a set for 2 people (for 2 people it's very much food, I couldn't eat it all with my parents).
Curi,, I really like your videos:) ,, every time you say polish, I take a shot:)
You have to visit the Szara Reneta Bistro in Skoczów. The food there is really amazing😊
You shold try soup called "flaczki"
kvalita jídla i obsluha otřesná....restaurace jinak moc pěkná
Pri tej obsluhe človeka aj chuť prejde 😁
He is such a nice Guy. Everything is "interesting". I love his giggle, but "dżendobry kury" is the best.
If you need spicy then ask for spices,because not everyone lika sipcy food.That girl who put your food on the table edge,I can tell ,she was just afraid of you.
i REALLY like u video :D U are very positive guy :) Greetings from Poznań Poland
If you decide to come to Hungary again, I'd recommend a small villiage ~60 km south from Budapest called Tass. There's a great little restaurant on the side of the Danube called Pákász. Their food is godlike. If they're still open that is. Been a while since I've been there. But according to google they're still open 12-20
Zostawiła talerz na brzegu stołu i uciekła wystarszona hehe śmiesznie to wyglądało
I think the service was feeling shy beacuse they didn't know English and also they weren't very happy to be on camera. I think it would have been polite to ask if the team was OK with filming. In busy tourist places sometimes you can wait long for your food, I've once waited for an hour for my meal in a restaurant on Hel and they also did not appologize. So they probably treat like that all their customers: foreigners and Polish. The main problem I see here is that the waiter's role is not only to provide the food but also to make the customer feel welcome. And they didn't even smile at you. They certainly failed it.
I have one piece of advice, if you eat something in Poland in a restaurant, take your hat off even if you are outside.
pyszne jedzenie, takie głęboko mrożone
Good job bro!
Hi Andre 😁, next time when you will visit some Polish restaurant please try Placki ziemniaczane po węgiersku, krokiety i barszcz czerwony.
I think waiting for the main course you were not hungry having before polish traditional soup.
11:53 when I was in one pub which I love it is called Buffalo in Kazincbarcika, Hungary. Once, only once I waited for my second course for 40 minutes since I had finished the first course. They told me just after some 25 minutes that the dis did not succeed and they had to make another one. That was the reason for such a long waiting. :) Not I am laughing at the situation. :)
Hi André,
Thanks for the nice video from my country. Thanks also for the warning against this restaurant and honest feedback, I will definitely not go there when I am passing through. Well done.
Díky André za ukázku tradičního Polského jídla i restaurace vypadá pěkně jinak super video 👍❤

@Golarz Filip nemáš zač ale nechápu proč jsou kritické podle tebe?
This is how many times André says traditionally

Long waiting times may be caused by an incomplete crew of chefs. It's about maximizing profits at the expense of customers' time. The reduced number of customers in restaurants after the pandemic has magnified such situations. Probably normal waiting time is 25-30 minutes.
Tak. Problem jest powszechny w wielu krajach po pandemii. Brak personelu , nawet pilotów brak. Wiele lotów po prostu znika na lotnisku.
Whenever I take my Hungarian friends to Poland, my mother lives in nearby Istebna, and they love the Polish food so much, they appreciate is so much that they always ask me to go to my mothers again. The problem is I did not eat the second course with you. It looked good but who knows how it tasted.
Mój ojciec pochodzi z Istebnej i kilka razy się przechodziło idąc do jego rodzinnego domu obok izby pamięć Jerzego Kukuczki.. swoją droga piękne miejsce
Bo pana nazwisko chyba nie jest przypadkowe pozdrawiam

It is great that you are a respectful traveller. And taking a real interest in people and culture and things around you.
Mate you've got to dodge these generic lager beers and try the craft IPAs in Poland, there are more decent ones to choose from here than even back in the UK! There are micro-breweries everywhere. I guess maybe not in the rural area where you are, that's why they gave you Warka haha.
Greetings from Bialystok.

11:28 na tej servirke vidno ako ju to ,,bavi´´
Jestem pod wrażeniem jak dobrze operuje kamerą
Go to Jastarnia in Poland and order some fish, they are delicious, order smoked butterfish (wędzona ryba maślana)
Obsługa faktycznie straszna ... wstyd ;(
Welcome to Poland 🤣🤣
Poland it’s awesome, it’s not that bad as can be expected. Look at your self and be safe there and have great time.
Of course is safe. I lived in UK for 10 hand now I live in USA from 2006 and Poland is so, so much safer for everyone, for man and woman, for kids and for old men. Especially in the cities, Polish cities are one of the safest in the world. I know because I visited so many countries all the world.
You need to go to traditional Polish "bar mleczny" mabe in Kraków? Pierogi, naleśniki, bigos. For deser taste gofry
i like what you do mate.very brave ❤
I personally love that food so much. The red cabbage is great. As a child I hated it, nowadays I love it so much. Here in Hungary we love the red cabbage as well. The girl must have not liked it to be filmed. A lot of people these days hate to be in the camera they try to void it and because they do not know English they will not tell you just show you they do not appreciate this. :) I had similar situation with me and my Polish friends in Czech Republic. They simply did not give me anything because we spoke Polish. I could not understand why they did that to us. So we had to go to another place to eat and have something for a drink.
hi Andre, I see that you were traveling pretty close to my hometown, sorry for the bad experience in Ustron restaurant but I highly recommend restaurants at the Rownica mountain in Ustron as well, there is Karczma Skibowka or Zbojnicka Chata. If you have more time and you have a car, I recommend you go to town named Koniakow, which is not too far from Ustron and there is Karczma Ochodzita, all are real traditional Polish kitchens with live music on weekends. You will be positively surprised. Regards from Australia. Cheers mate
polish people are shy when speaking english, especially while being recorded when if you make a mistake it will forever stay on yt and peoplle will make fun of you forever. just a bit of understanding - imagine if someone records your every conversation in polish and make fun of your speaking abilities ;)
sometimes you can find bad restaurants the same dishes and they taste different than you eat elsewhere, look for good restaurants recommended and well rated in Poland and then you can check how good food tastes in a good place
Traditional Polish food is not spice heavy, it's a hearty food that was meant to feed and provide sustenance for the old world which was a tough way of life did not have the access to the variety of spices that we are now all used to. You will find more flavors in the new age restaurants. Unfortunate that the service was sub par as we're known for our hospitality.
soup got sour taste from bread started used as a base for this soup - fermented flour gives amazing and sour taste
I love that food so much.
That yellow things are named kluski the are made like that:
You boil the water with potatoes
When the potatoes are ready you take them mix them so they are realy
Soft and then you add some flour and mix again and then you just roll them with your hands so they look like balls and then you boil them again and done
Hello Andre! Loved your video. I am sorry you had to experience this kind of "customer service" but I feel like I want to explain why this girl acted so strange. It was probably because they had many orders and she was stressed and in a hurry. She might have wanted to avoid the conversation to avoid speaking in English. We are still very shy to speak English and it might look very rude sometimes. Still, it shouldn't happen, it's a very bad service. Great lesson for them. 👏
Thats absolutely true!
Wow...that country looks beautiful cool... connect me to one nice old man
Every man has a different taste. :) What is delicious or one can be hated but the others. The life is this way.
In Ustron i recomend Sielanka restaurant outside the center .by Rownica mointain behind You there is nice restaurant . The beer in Beskidy only from Cieszyn Castle brewery
2 w nocy i mi ochotę na żurek zrobił 😢
1:45 tez bym zurek zjadl XDD

This is a well polished video.
Try golabki with tomato sauce, nalesniki and bigos,. For dessert paczek and piernik (piernik only in Torun city) Czarnina soup is also interestng, its soup made from duck blood. Unusual taste and important tradicional meaning, you eat this one when you want to marry polish girl and your proposal was declined by her parrents at official lunch, this tradition is dead now. For dessert paczek and piernik (piernik only in Torun city)
Pozdrawiam Czeskich przyjaciół.
I dated a lady from Krakow for a few years. A well-kept secret for finding good food in rural areas is the police station. Many have canteens in them that are open to the employees AND the general public. The ones she took me to had kitchens that were staffed by 6 - 10 sturdy women who could only bring the thought "grandma" to mind. Some of the best food I've ever had in my LIFE...!!
Often traditional polish meals are not so good in restaurants unfortunately. The best ones are made in homes by grandmothers ;)
😂
Good content my friend. You are genuine and wholesome
I don't understand what is wrong with the service? Foreigners are treated like everybody else. The restaurant looks nice and clean and the food looks good too. It's not a fast food restaurant, so you have to wait a little. As I see you had your soup and beer in ten minutes. People usually go to restaurant with friends and family, so they feel time differently. It looks like they made the food freshly, so it's took some time. You should Google the traditional foods what you want to try. The staff was helpful and the Polish people are friendly. Not everybody speaks English and not everybody like to be filmed without permission. If your standards are so high, do your research, prepare better, go to a more expensive restaurant and pay more.
to idz czekaj sobie gdziekolwiek godzine na szame ciekawe czy byla bys zadowolna czy uradowana i za te pieniadze wstyd i hanba
What was wrong with the service? That there were none service :D
12:28 aha ako sa tvári :) ako po lobotomii. nechcem sa jej smiať ak náhodou trpí mentálnym postihnutím, ale vyzerá to skôr že sa dosť nafetovala a nezvláda ten stav. Naozaj nechápem ako môže niekto totoálne nafetovaný obsluhovať ľudí :/ je to hanba ak je to reštaurácia a nie chránená dielna. toto by sa nemalo diať ani v najhoršej reštaurácie že ti odporne sa tváriaca obsluha pleskne tanier na okraj stolu a ani nepopraje dobrú chuť.. toto by na Slovensku nespravila ani najviac sedliacka servírka, ak je toto v posku bežné tak ste na úrovni krajín tretieto sveta :/
You can clearly see food isn't anything special enough to wait an hour for a damn thing. As for service noone even gave him menu and he needed to ask waiter to come to him to make order, which is a terrible start especially consiedering fact they don't have that much people to serve, on top of that waitress didn't even give him plate, just putted it wherever on table and ran away. You can't really even call it service can you?
It's year 2022 if you want to work as a waitress you need to be prepared that people may film and photograph stuff, if you are shy it's just not a job for you. If you are used to this bad service maybe it's time to find some new restaurant and see how different it is when staff actually pay some attention to customers
We been in same place 6 months ago and food was good and staff attitude has been a lot better - bad luck this time
Please do more videos from Poland!!
od samego oglądania to co on je xD aż sam głodny się zrobiłem heh

That's the whole point of youtube mate 😅
@@Mishina375 It really isn't, 'mate'
@@truthoutmedia you're right, YT is not (or shouldn't be about clickbait), but why did you say mate to Andre and then when this guy replied, you put it in inverted commas 'mate'?
@@truthoutmedia tek it easy mate :)
Firstly, it is not a wild animal fur but domestic cattle fur. I know you may feel being ignored by waitress but this might not be necessarily as you consider. Polish teens from small towns and villages are usually shy. They are not used to speak English and deal with foreign tourists. They are afraid of conversation in English.
I wonder if the waitress was simply shy because she did not speak English or perhaps she thought putting the plate just in front of you (and showing up in the frame) might interfere with your recording. People in Poland tend to be very sensitive that way.
We pronounce W like V .
Hello Andre, sorry about your terrible restaurant experience. I am a new subscriber looking forward to other Poland experiences. If I ever I visit Poland i will follow your recommendation.💜💜
you need to visit Kraków if u want to eat some good meals and i recommend Balaton restaurant with delicious potato pancakes and goulash soup
If you're still in Ustroń, please give me a sign. I live here. I can take you to the good restaurant and show you tasty meal ;) Podkowa wasn't a good choise :)
Did you try any dish with mushrooms? Picking mushrooms in Poland is like a national sport. There are plenty of them in the forests and you can pick them freely, almost all Poles love it and recognize the most popular and precious genres: prawdziwki, podgrzybki, kozaki, kurki, kanie, maślaki etc. (there aren't even English names for them). Polish people dry, freeze or pickle them to keep them fresh for a longer time. We sometimes add them to bigos or pierogi or make soups or sauses of them. Some of them like kanie or boczniaki taste really good done as a kotlet (put in a raw egg and bread crumbs and fried). Yummie👍
She was just scared that you would start to ask questions in English. Plus don't expect the staff to be rocket scientists, especially in a place like this.
