Polish Taste Delicatessen

I don’t oft find myself in the fine burgh of Partick, but when I do, I get the underlying feeling that i’d kinda like to live here at some point. Places like Polish Taste, only act to cement this feeling.
Whilst in the area at the weekend and having just picked up some awesome cakes and sausage rolls at Cottonrake (find review, read, love and visit!) I decided that the fresh white loaves in the window were just far too tempting to avoid.
But hey, it’s not just bread that’s on offer in this kick ass wee deli. From perogies (spelling?) to awesome sausages, tinned good and fresh fruit.
I’ve been back, I’ll be back again and would advise anyone who’s in the area to pop in for a nosey. Yes it’s probably more expensive than the nearby T (ends in esco), but it’s quality and unique.
Yum.

A gem in a crowded market, Polish Taste has a terrific selection of fresh meats, dairy goods and breads, marking it out as a proper deli rather than one of the many Polish convenience stores that have sprung up of late. The folks in there couldn’t be any nicer, and are always happy to help non-​Poles like myself to make discoveries. They are also incredibly tolerant of my attempts to speak the language, and for that alone I rate this place highly!

Polish Taste, a Polish delicatessen on Hyndland Road is definitely worth a visit. And, trust me on this one, you most definitely do not have to be Polish to appreciate the magic of this place.
The authenticity of this place, though, is perfect. Although I’m not Polish, I’ve spent quite a lot of time there and am a big fan of the culture. As soon as you step through the doors of this deli — you feel a bit like you’re actually in Warsaw, and not in the West End of Glasgow.
Wood paneling and straw baskets make this place undeniably cute, and as well as shelves and shelves of canned and tinned goods (all in Polish — obviously) you’ll also find fresh goods. This includes a meat counter to die for (what can I say? I’m a carnivore at heart) as well as a mini bakery and lots and lots of cheese. All these products are delicious — and also very reasonably priced.
I also love the fact that they sell Polish newspapers and magazines here. This definitely adds to the sense that a trip into Polish Taste is like a mini-​holiday to Eastern Europe!
