How Are Foreigners Treated In Polish Restaurant?? Absurd Service
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2022
- While I was travelling in Poland after my village tour and interacting with locals I decided I wanted to visit a wooden restaurant to try the traditional Polish food. I arrived at a town called Ustroń, Europe. The town seemed quite busy with local markets and touristic shops. I came across a wooden restaurant so I decided to check the place out. I had traditional soup which was really good. For my main course I ordered beef which had smoked ham inside served with dumplings and the smallest amount of gravy.
Watch the video to find out how are foreigners treated and what do I think of traditional Polish food..

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.
100% right
A Pols from a cities, having eaten such food served in this way, would burn this place the same night 🤬

Jakie to jest piękne jak obcokrajowiec bardziej docenia to co nasze niż my 😍😍😍
to chyba logiczne że ktoś co niema tego na codzien bedzie sie tym zachwycał
A obejrzałaś do końca że tak się podniecasz ? :D

To nie do końca prawda. Złą robotę robią tzw. fajno-Polacy, którzy całe życie mają kompleks niższości wobec Niemców, Francuzów, Włochów. Całe życie przepraszają za to, że Polska jest taka obciachowa. Polska i wszystkie polskie, piękne tradycje. Nam pozostaje chwalić się tym, co mamy, bo mamy się czym chwalić. Obcokrajowcy coraz częściej przyjeżdżają do Polski, więc nie bez powodu.
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.
Unfriendly & bored is sadly common in Poland sometimes i feel as if they would rather have no guests at all.
If you feel unwelcomed as a guest thats a real pain in the but, why spending my money there?
@@quigonjinn3567
What are the wages in France and how long is the vacation time?
After the pandemic, it is difficult to find good workers. Product prices in Poland are like those in western Europe. It's easy to complain when you don't know the realities.
@@quigonjinn3567 Oh, that's basically all the customer service in Poland. This is just our nature. It comes to more natural approach, not to be always smiled, and having fake courtesy. To be honest - for many polish people those "fake smiles" are even more obnoxious than bad service. Might be a cultural shock, I know.
@@mmaruszewicz Yea, we are seriously struggling as of now. People are tired, and it shows. Even in the customer service.
@@mmaruszewicz c'mon, service up here was always bad in comparison with US or UK. It got better but after 2020 it went bad again for known reasons. I wonder what would Andre say about service in 90's 😆
The waiter putting the plate on the side of the table and saying nothing was super weird, ive been to shady places where it feels like Soviet Union, but never seen something like this
You can get better service in a bus station cafe
Prob a bit racist ,people in Poland can be cunts to foreigners since it's not a ethnically diverse country.
I'm Polish btw.
Maybe she just didn’t want to be on camera 🤷🏼♀️

there a a lot of Polish Jokes in England about they unfriendliness in Service.
My man just goin around drinkin beer and eating food, this is the life! Sto lat 🍻🇵🇱
Hehe this girl which gave you the diner looked scared 🙂. It was wired.... Grettings from Wrocław. 🇵🇱
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. Employees these days in this department should be decent with their English - (worldwide speaking language)

I like how you show the reality in detail in all your videos
Hey man It's awesome that you've tried some traditional polish food in poland. I'm very sorry for the way you need to live through some services... It's just so unpleaseant to see polish people especially the one working in service treating an amazing person like you this way. I hope you will get some much better service in the future if you ever go eat there or anywhere else. Keep up the good work and I'm really enjoying you videos man!
The kindest and best regards, the hald polish guy living in Sweden.
In south Oscypek (traditional cheese from Polish Highlands). Soups Żurek in bread, kwaśnica. Schabowy (breaded pork). If you like cabbage try Bigos. I can recommend Dwa Noże restaurant in Ustroń or Angel’s Steak & Pub. Take care
he had a lot of those foods in slovakia or czechia
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. Their service standards are usually pretty good. Going through google review on local restaurants might help you out with finding good place for you. Good luck and enjoy your time here.
No co ty kutwa nie powiesz xd

Soup you had is one that foreigners love or hate, so i'm glad that you liked it. It's my favourite Polish soup
It looked delicious.
@@JarinCOD it really is. Its fat, salty and sour at the same time :)
Looking forward to see the video, thanks!
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
I come from Ustroń, but i live in Krakow now

Aight, sooo I would like to say that when I accidentaly saw one of your videos about your visit in Poland I was a bit afraid, how people are going to treat you. But it was surprise for me, and I'm soooo sooo happy that everyone is smiling at you and they are nice and kind for you. 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
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.
I love the silent cameraman that always films when André is eating.
his wife
the moment when you went for the bread while eating żurek, i knew it will be a banger for you in a second 🤣🤣
odrazy to samo pomyślałem
Ja sobie pomyślałem " nasz chłop" 😜
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. There are polish dishes as well and they are really awesome.
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.
My grandfather was polish, he died when I was very young ,I have family in Poland that I dont even know of and they dont know I exist ,it pleases me to see how nice to polish people are
You are very positive person .Have a nice trip.
The second waiteres was just super shy I think :D
Yes. Don’t forget people don’t like being filmed and put on TH-cam
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.
@@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.
pyszne jedzenie, takie głęboko mrożone
i REALLY like u video :D U are very positive guy :) Greetings from Poznań Poland
😂
Good content my friend. You are genuine and wholesome
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.
Do rolady z kluskami ,najlepsze buraczki zasmażane.
You have to visit the Szara Reneta Bistro in Skoczów. The food there is really amazing😊
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.
13:54 they are called Silesian dumplings with a gravy - I love it so much.
marudzil, ze jedzenie nie jest pikantne. Afrykanskie potrawy moga wywolac pozar w kiblu.
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
Shame I’ve only just found your channel. Ustron is my home town, there are several really good restaurants that serve really nice, local food.
One day I will go with my maz.
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.
Cool, Andre!
The potato dish Placki Ziemniaczane it's traditional. You should try it, it's really good.
necessarily with sugar or śmietana on top 😉
I love that food so much.
great film !
Kocham twoje filmy haha
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.
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).

Hi Andre 😁, next time when you will visit some Polish restaurant please try Placki ziemniaczane po węgiersku, krokiety i barszcz czerwony.
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.
Grate, I didn't see any thing wrong, She was bussy Bro. Took a long time. Good work Big Man 😎
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

@@KamilaMorzyblurred faces on film usually insinuate there was no consent given.

Pri tej obsluhe človeka aj chuť prejde 😁
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. :)
Mega sympatyczny i pozytywny czlowiek.
I love Poland and polish people from the UK 🇵🇱 🇬🇧
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.
Obsługa faktycznie straszna ... wstyd ;(
Welcome to Poland 🤣🤣
It is great that you are a respectful traveller. And taking a real interest in people and culture and things around you.
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👍
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.

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.
Every man has a different taste. :) What is delicious or one can be hated but the others. The life is this way.

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.

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!
ZDROWKA !
Nice 👍👍👍
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.
Please do more videos from Poland!!
Wow that's the town where I'm from!
This place loooks awesome
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.
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
In Hungary in some rastaurants you can wait for your lunch from 10-40 minutes. It depends on restaurants.
This is the perfect example of a lack of friendly interaction between the staff and the client which makes the client feel unwelcomed and uncomfortable despite beautiful surroundings. Shame. All that it takes is a nice genuine smile, how are you, nice to see you. enjoy your food ... basics really! I hope the next one you decide to visit would be more client-friendly.

Often traditional polish meals are not so good in restaurants unfortunately. The best ones are made in homes by grandmothers ;)

soup got sour taste from bread started used as a base for this soup - fermented flour gives amazing and sour taste
