I’m very lucky to be friends with Andrew, one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable foodies I know. He’s also very creative and he started the alphabet dining club a few years ago with his friend Sharon. They started eating out at a restaurant serving cuisine from a country starting with the letter A and so on.
The baltic looks like a fine dining restaurant and is lit beautifully with a huge skylight. The white theme running through the restaurant makes the venue incredibly light bringing a great vibe to the eatery instantaneously.
The food was staggering with a Eastern European take on meat, fish and drinks.
The food we had was absolutely amazing and we were looked after by the staff as it was my girlfriend's birthday we received a free shot each and a birthday cake for her.
We were asked to come and review the venue but my views are not influenced by this and I will 100% be visiting again!
Good food. Though the venue itself was rather large and not at all intimate, the food was excellent and the service good. The facilities were clean and modern. Value for money was passable, and the choice of wines, beers and spirits excellent. The management here has got something right for sure.
Great meal. Wife had 3 course theater meal and both salads were fantastic. I couldn't decide on a main so ordered a selection of dumplings and scallop appetizer. Scallops were really good. Spetzle with bacon and peas had a very satisfying flavor. Desert was the apple fritter. I would call it a Dutch pancake over a fritter but whatever you call it I want more of it. This is a place we would come back to.
Baltic - an unexpected find. An unexpected find close to Waterloo. Started with a selection of salmon, herring, roe & aubergine caviar blinis, followed by Lamb Shashlik & Confit of Duck with beetroot. Waiter recommended quaffable bottle of beaujolais. We finished with some dill & basil vodka at the unexpectedly hip bar and then floated happily homeward over Blackfriars Bridge.
It is a sad fact that the meal peaked with the starter, but the service was warm and the ambience relaxing enough to make it a welcome break from a stuffy office. With a complete lack of pretence and a very cheap set menu offering, it is well worth a lunch visit. Just don’t wear a tuxedo or order a martini. It may be the last thing you ever do.
Overall, this is definitely a great restaurant to try out if you've never been. Delicious, hearty Polish or other eastern european offerings in a beautiful setting...
The impression was comfort, hearty and homie food, which was well suited for the increasingly chilling tempertures in London.
The food is not as good as it used to be, but still of a reasonable standard. The vodka list has shrunk and the bar now seems to focus more on cocktails.
Visiting on a Thursday evening, several post-work groups were in, and I can imagine it being a good place for parties – especially trying out the vodka list.
For starters I had red snapper @ £7.50 – generous chunks of meaty fish that were overly dry but the walnut and pomegranate ‘satsivi’ sauce (spicy but not hot) more than compensated for that, served with a cleansing fennel and lemon salad. H had marinated herring salad with potato, peas and sour cream @ £7.00...
Irresistible place in Centre East London with very well designed venue(hasn’t changed for 10 years) exceptional cuisine and biggest vodka selection bar. Always highest level of service, fresh dishes made with best ingredients and warm eastern atmosphere. The prices are reasonable. Last time I was here 3 years now and was very happy, and it hasn’t changed now. Very satisfied and will come back.
Tasty Polish food, I like the dumplings and the pork, sorry I cannot remember the name, but it looks like the deep fried pork steak with potato and scramble egg, which is really good! And the service is also fantastic! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
Came back to this restaurant again and got to try more of their food on the menu. All the food was delicious. Only wish we could try more different dishes! Their drink list is big and loved their cocktails. Will go back again for sure.

I have been to Baltic a few times now and I have never been disappointed ! The food is delicious, there’s a good atmosphere and the staff is really friendly. There’s also a massive selection of vodkas. It’s definitely worth it, I highly recommend !
A friend of mine took me to this restaurant. I was very impressed with the service and food. They were so polite and nice.
The lady serving our table was smart and caring for details.
The food was delicious, the portions are big enough
They give you complementary bread and butter that for me Is a nice gesture when you have some bread on the table.
Toilets were ok
The place is big , modern and spacious
Excellent service, great food! Perfect place for romantic date. Loved the steak tartare. It was just like my dad used to make it for me when I was a kid in Poland :)
I will definitely visit very often!
Good food at cheap prices.
We paid about 45 pounds for three course and two course meals. Pre-theatre meals are very affordable and you get some of the highlights of the a la carte choices. 2 course meal costs about 18 and three course 22 if I remember correctly. Fresh bread is served with butter and a beetroot spread as well as pickles.
If you come by around 530, happy hour means you buy one cocktail and get another free.
All dishes tasted very good, especially the roast duck which was flavourful and succulent. Way better than what I've had at duck and waffle (ironic since the latter has duck in its name).
Please give this place a shot!
A very light and open space with friendly staff. At the opening there is a bar area with sloe gins and a big vodka selection. Drinks are reasonably priced. The food was delicious - light and fresh, the artichoke salad starter and beetroot soup were especially good. Price was very reasonable, and they also accept Tastecard most days of the week including Sunday which knocked a good chunk off our bill.
What a good surprise! The food, the staff and the environment are a 5 star experience. We tried a few of the vodkas between foods which made the experience even better. The dumplings, the pork belly and the salmon were the tables favorites.
Intimate, quiet atmosphere. Authentic Russian cuisine. Braised pork was divine, the meat falling off the bone. Barely had to use my knife. Mashed potatoes was amazing and the pears and raisins complemented the pork wonderfully. Hubby had the sea bream which he raved was most excellent. He also had the snow queen vodka which he said was really smooth and great. Awesome service too.
