I normally wait two visits to review local places but my experience tonight was so negative that I…read moream unlikely to ever go back to Papu. I live a few minutes walk away and have been wanting to try it for ages since it looks very cute; with a sandwich board in front of the door advertising in Polish and English. The website lists a nice selection of Polish food, pizzas, and a couple of other things like the English Breakfast. The website is well put together with a menu in both Polish and English. Tonight I talked my husband into trying it out and we headed over at about 6:40, we sat down and started looking at the menu and the woman behind the counter brought over a second menu when she saw me looking around. After a couple of minutes we asked about the soup of the day and she had a man come out from the back who had better English, he told us the soup was cabbage and vegetables and the daily special was a nice sounding devilled egg and ground beef dish (possibly, I ordered it because I like trying new things). We got coffee and tea and chatted away while waiting for our food. The only other patron finished his meal and left. The woman started moping, which was a bit weird since the website states the closing time as 11pm (the door says 10pm) every night. Another ten minutes passed and she came by and cleared my husband's cup which had been sitting empty as we continued to wait. Finally at 7:15 she came up and dropped a bill for the drinks on the table. Seeing our confusion she basically told us repeatedly that they were closed. So after giving us dinner menus, talking about the specials, letting us order, and then letting us sit there like idiots for 30-40 minutes, Papu closed their doors between three to four hours early. Luckily Quality Kebab down the street is always fast and friendly because we were starving by this point.

Upon entering is a sign reading 'all friends here...welcome' which immediately puts you at ease, as do the smiling faces inside. The decor is simple but homely and reflects a traditional Polish restaurant. I'd describe most of the dishes as heart warming comfort food, great for the soul and warms the cockles on a winter's day! Classic dishes (and personal favourites of mine!) include Gulasz (Goulash), Pierogi (dumplings) and Golabek Tradjcjny (stuffed cabbage leaves with pork and rice). There may not be a great wine list here but I'd recommend trying the delicious Tyskie Polish beer!

I was so excited when we got there as the menu looked so good. We got there at 9pm and the light was on and couple of girls inside. Well as soon as we entered the premises blond girl told me in polish that she just packed up and the restaurant is closed. They didn`t even bother with us. My boyfriend was gutted. So was I. I have been informed that if they dont have many clients they close earlier. Well shame there was nothing on their website about it. On the website they claim that most of the week they are open till late. So what time is "till late"? And again I realised why I live here. Polish attitude is so wrong. (remember I am polish). J

Among the floating delights you have in store are drinking cider at The Apple, dancing at Thekla and eating at Glass Boat.

Perfect for romantic meals or special occasions this restaurant will not disappoint. An evening at the floating restaurant doesn't come cheap, but it's certainly worth the hefty price tag. The food, the service and the views are some of the best you'll find in Bristol. A unique and unforgettable dining experience.

I had dumplings (I asked for a Polish dish) and the Waitress was generous to give me a mix of all three types they had (cheese, meat, cabbage & mushroom) and was served with yogurt. The downside of this dish was the dripping oil, possibly from the meat but hey it could even be that the dish is served in this manner in Poland!? The place has very trendy feel to it. They have seating as you enter, bar at the rear and just one efficient person performing the skillful art of Waitress, busboy (busgirl!?), bar tender and server. They do takeaways and can order over phone to collect but no delivery. Have been with my colleagues too and they loved - the taste, the feel of the place, the portions and the price.
