The Thousands

If you’re anything like me, the thought of wrapping your mush around a hunk of bread dipped in lard doesn’t exactly get the salivary juices flowing. Luckily (or unluckily), you don’t live in rural Poland.

I’ll let you in on a little secret, Polish food is not only delicious but brimming with dietary benefits. When all’s said and done, what kind of tucker do you think fuelled maestro Chopin back in the day? Not Golden Gaytimes, that’s for sure. Rembrandt Restaurant is traditional Polish fare through and through: there’s periogi (Polish dumplings), hearty goulash, and our favourite, golambki (cooked cabbage rolls filled with meat). Most meals are accompanied with a pickle. I don’t know about you, but give me a pickle and that’s me won over. Hook, line and sinker.

Just like their penny scraping Polish ancestors, Rembrandts keep prices simple: main meals are under $20 (unless you opt for the trout) and all entrees are under $15. As a wise man once said, don’t judge a book by its lardy bread.
