The Polish Cottage serves wonderful authentic Polish cuisine in a charming setting. The pierogies and potato pancakes are so delicious. Visiting the eclectic Polish Cottage is such a refreshing change from the overwhelming number of chains and Mexican restaurants dominating the area.
If you don't have the time for a full meal, you can pick up frozen perogies to cook at home. So, do yourself a favor and treat your taste buds to a wonderful culinary adventure at The Polish Cottage.
The food is simply amazing. Do yourself a favor and skip the frozen Mr. T's pierogies at the supermarket in exchange for fresh scratch made pierogies at the Polish Cottage. All food is made completely in house here.
Several varieties are available: Beef, Potatoes and Cheese, Sauerkraut and Mushroom, or Sweet Farmer's Cheese. Pierogies can be ordered in an 8,12,or 14 piece set and you get to choose 2 flavors. The potato and cheese combination was absolutely delicious. The potato pancakes, served with sour cream and applesauce, are also a must try.
The best deal is ordering the combination plate as you get to try a selection of the best Polish dishes. It is still a bit overpriced in my opinion considering the tiny portion sizes, however, the best deal available here. I recommend they add some complimentary bread and butter to make up for the high menu pricing.
They offer a special vegetarian combo plate which includes 2 potato pancakes, 6 pierogi, and a traditional vegetable salad. The vegetable salad which included diced apples, carrots, eggs, potatoes, onions, pickles, with mayonnaise and spicy mustard was new to us and surprisingly delicious. The entire meal was totally delicious.
The traditional Polish combo plate includes a stuffed cabbage roll, smoked polish sausage, roll of bread, hunter's stew and pierogi and is just $29 or $54 for 2.
You can even cap off your meal with a traditional Polish desert like Polish Apple Cake or Kolaczki (Polish Cream Cheese cookies).
Service is always friendly and attentive. It's never too over packed on Friday nights like most Tucson restaurants tend to be, so you can enjoy a quieter atmosphere along with faster service and no wait to be seated.
The setting here is so cute and charming. The restaurant is decorated like a traditional Polish cottage and is bright and colorful. The decor is authentic and unique to Tucson and the cozy vibe makes you feel like you are sitting in someone's home. There are numerous colorful international books which you can browse through while waiting for your meal.
The Polish Cottage is authentic as it gets, from the delicious traditional foods to the charming decor. In an area overrun with big chains, this local gem is worth going out of your way for. Living in suburban Oro Valley, I make my way out here at least a few times a month, especially when visiting a nearby attraction like Reid Park. I really appreciate that they offer a great vegetarian special.
