Baltic is the London restaurant to head to if you’re keen to sample Polish and central European food.
In their spacious and contemporary Southwark restaurant, Jan Woroniecki’s team cook up a variety of Baltic dishes from buckwheat blinis to rabbit braised in a fragrant broth. The restaurant is a long lasting London favourite and was recently included in Time Out’s top 100 restaurants in the mid-range price category. They say that “for Polish/central European classics, sometimes touched with the modernity that Woroniecki brings to these underrated cuisines, it has few peers in London”. They also advise that, as the wine is not the best, it’s better to opt for something from their 60 variety long vodka list. That’s advice we don’t mind taking!
The restaurant is a wide open space with lots of air and light. Some of the tables may be a little closely packed, making it a bit of a squeeze for wheelchair users but generally speaking the accessibility here is very good. It is, as we just said, an large open space, where things can be moved about and the entire floor plan is totally step free. From the entrance, past the bar and through to the main dining area there is a smooth ramped pathway. There is also an adapted toilet for less able customers.
Baltic is a highly rated, highly accessible venue with quality European food and an excellent location for the South Bank and other nearby theatres (Theatre/Lunch menus 2 courses – £16.50, 3 courses -£19.50). We’d recommend Baltic as somewhere for something a little a bit different and give them a provisional 2.5 BBS Ticks.
