text: We were looking for a totally different resto to lunch at in Old Montreal when we accidentally walked by this charming little restaurant We were warmly greeted and shown to a great little table looking out onto the cobblestone street and it is occasional passing horsedrawn carriage It was all very touristy but in the best sense possiblenHaving heard that Polish food tended toward heaviness we carefully chose our lunch portion to match our appetite I had the tripe soup Flaki and an entree level order of pierogies whereas the Missus had Barszcz and Kielbasa their typical beet soup and sausage mealnThe honeycomb tripes texture was OMG wonderful as was the hearty broth The pierogies were completely unexpected They were delicate little pouches their translucent skins glistening and hinting at the promise of meaty yummy goodness A dollop of sour cream just sent the meal over the top I almost started planning a trip to Poland solely on the strength of these nibbles it was that goodnnI think that the Missuss meal met her standards because she would not share any of her dishes with me For shame Missus for shame
