Celebrate Polish weekend with some proper Pierogi Ruskie on Portobello prom

Portobello newbies The Boathouse are promising a proper taste of Poland with a one-off weekend menu of middle European delights.

The seafront venue might be a little late in celebrating Polish Independence Day (it's November 11) but with plenty of Polish staff on the books they have put together a four-course menu for less than £20.

And a last-minute entry to the offerings is the perfect Winter comfort food to accompany a nippy November day on the prom, Pieorogi Ruskie, homemade dumplings crammed full of cheese and potato and served with fried onions.

Polish it off: Pierogi Ruskie are a favourite traditional snack

Before that though the four-course feast kicks off with a hearty Polish favourite - chicken consomme with noodles.

With other rib-stickers including breaded chicken breast stuffed with cheese, butter and spinach or alternatively cabbage leaves stuffed with beef mince and rice and slow-cooked in tomato sauce, warm tummies are guaranteed, no matter how stiff the breeze coming off the North Sea.

Polished (sorry) off with apple pancakes or apple pie the £19.90 price tag sounds like a steal.

The Polish menu is running from November 15-17

The Boathouse, King's Place, Portobello.
