We asked Magdalena Hill, Seattle-based editor of Allrecipes Poland, to give her recommendations for the best Polish food in Seattle. Previously, we covered Seattle’s Australian food, Brazilian food, and German food options.

The only restaurant in Seattle serving traditional Polish food is Dom Polski/Polish Home Association (1714 18th Ave, between Madison & Olive). The Polish Home has a dining room and a bar open every Friday night from 6:30 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. and during most scheduled events at the home (though it is closed in summer–reopening September 9).

Chef Barbara Patrick has helped maintain the Polish Home’s great reputation for tasty traditional Polish dishes. You can find there: pierogi, cutlets, croquettes, salads, pickles and sausage, pork and beef in homey sauces. Also, delicious soups: pickle soup, chicken soup, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and borscht/barszcz. The bar is well stocked with Polish beers and vodkas.

More amazing Polish food can be found at George’s Sausage & Delicatessen (907 Madison St.). When you enter the store you feel like you’re in Poland and food is truly delicious, starting with the meats and fresh poppy seed cakes. And there is much more: mustards, horseradish, and all the pickles you can imagine! It’s like being Alice in Polish Wonderland!

If you want to cook your own Polish food, here is my mom’s profile on Allrecipes Poland with many great Polish recipes.
