Alchemy Polish Cafe Restaurant

Nicholas Lelos a month ago

Really amazingly located Polish restaurant in the middle of the neighbourhood with great cake selections and also excellent traditional Polishes with a few other centeal European dishes thrown in there for the spin. Good attention to detail and quality of ingredients, with the prices of the dishes being higher (30-45 dollars) but with size to match as well. Apart from the friendly staff and the extremely jovial owner, the other highlight are the alchemical concoctions - you can choose and mix up your own beverage with the essences on offer and create something uniquely you. And delicious. Just like you. Highly recommended for groups of 2 to 4 - all occasions really.

This was me and my husband’s first time trying Polish food, and this place set the bar high. We weren’t sure how much food to order and got recommendations from the staff of which were popular and traditional foods. We had: - Herring with egg and mayo - delicious starter - 6 pierogies (duck, potato, and mushroom) - duck and potato was my fave - Bigos - this was good, a traditional warm hearty stew, but not as unique flavour wise as the others imo - Pork Goulash (main) - this was so delicious, the crispy potato pancake around it complements the goulash very well! - Vanilla slice - this cake was so good we order another slice and felt really stuffed at the end Totally worth it, would come again in a bigger group to try more things.

Such a nice restaurant! The owner was so welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and very filling, and the atmosphere was warm and homely. Felt like an authentic polish experience. We had the perogi (potato and cheese was my favourite), zurek and flaki soups, and the pork shank with cucumber salad on the side, accompanied by polish beers. Would definitely recommend!

Most happy to snag a table outdoor before a busy lunch period. Need time to peruse all the wonderful Polish favorites on the menu. Fried Potato Pancake with smoked salmon. 2 large crispy cakes, with very well matched extras. Duck & apricot Pierogi, with no sides, allowed for clean eating. Delicious. Hunter Stew, braised sauerkraut with very small amount of pork, unfortunately bland. Cabbage roll, tasty with creamy mash.

The crispiest pork cutlet I’ve had in Sydney. Despite being deep-fried, it’s not greasy at all. The special sauce and mashed potatoes pair perfectly with it. The biggest surprise was the homemade 🍐pear cake — you can clearly taste the sweetness of the pear and the slight tartness of the jam, with a really nice balance. Overall, a very comfortable and satisfying dining experience. The restaurant has a warm, cozy atmosphere😌with beautiful tableware and a distinct Polish style. Even on a very hot day, the owner and staff were extremely welcoming and kept checking in to make sure we were happy.
