Wodka is something really different to the standard pretentious and often mediocre offerings in Kensington. Tucked away in the back street, you'll need a map to find it (or a taxi) but it's definitely worth the walk. Inside the tables a haphazardly placed (or so it seems) behin pillars and around corners but the layout works well with the tables not too close together. The menu is a real treat - very differnt. The dishes are mostly quite heavy, making this a great place to go on a cold and dreary winter's evening but there are a few lighter choices as well. The food is always very good quality and it's great to try something different. The vodka list must be seen to be believed. A really comprehensive list of every vodka you could imagine and many you have never dreamed of. Some are homemade, some imported and all are worth are try. Just don't try them all in one visit or you will be rolling home!]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:23:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1r4iy8636806109 WB1 good value east european 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1q0719

Wodka is a brilliant, buzzy yet relaxed, fun and friendly little gem in the middle of a rather conservative neighbourhood. This is one of my absolutely favourite places in London with the manager Kasia worth many stars for making guests feel welcome.
The food is Polish but with a French sophisticated twist, with the eel salad a must, ditto the rabbit or the duck when on the menu.
The vodkas, a wide-ranging array, are beautiful whether home-made or imported. Tip: have only vodkas and water, beware of mixing with wine! ]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:18:52 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1q0719370891366 rassami lively international family & home feel good value 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1p97m6

I have been reading the reviews, all very positive. I must say our experience was desapointing. The food was truly nice but the service was mediocre. They took our bottle of wine before it was finished and the same for our main courses! When telling the manager we were treated as if we were lying. the management probably feels that there should not be any critics. A bit pretentious!

We will come back to give a seconde chance because of all the good reviews.]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:08:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1p97m61165168346 Gavroche romantic Polish expensive 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/141518

This is perhaps my favorite restaurant in London. Itâ¬"s tucked away in a quiet/exclusive neighborhood with a menu that seems completely at odds with the postcode.
The menu is a delight in every sense - it will challenge you and delight you with some superb polish dishes. More than half the offering wouldn't feature on any other menu.
They have a cracking and fairly price wine list and the stunning list of vodkas is a delight when you come with a big party. Trust me it doesn't take too many bison grass vodka's to go from lively to boisterous.
The only downside with this place is that I never want to tell too many people how good it really is ⬦. I wouldnâ¬"t want it to get any harder to get a table.

Wodka is a bit of a hidden gem... great food and of course, vodkas... Service can be a bit haphazard but never rubbish or rude.
Particularly good place to go when the evenings draw in - lots of lovely comfort food!]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2007 12:52:11 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1b54g7635131858 CatWallen 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1a94l7

Excellent food from an interesting and original menu (I strongly recommend you start with the blinis!), a good cellar, and the vodka list (boasts around 40) is a real treat! The decor is lovely - cosy, classy and intimate, the service good and friendly. The dog occasionally pops in to check everything is in order but very discretely! Expect to pay at least £30 a head for 2 courses, wine and vodka! It'll feel like a bargain.]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 16:21:43 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1a94l7408715621 AlexWoods 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1k33q8

Interesting food (in a good way) with decent service and a relaxed atmosphere. Probably best in a group as the range of vodka doesn't make for quiet parties. It's been quietly tucked away in a side street behind High Street Ken for years - but definitely worth the trip.]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:17:17 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1k33q8455559995 ChrisHarrison lively east european good value 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1t42g8

Wodka has been around for many years, and is still going strong. Great food and very friendly service from the all-Polish staff. The list of about 40 different vodkas, some home made, doesn't hurt either :)]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 21:40:28 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka/1t42g81215362144 niclas lively east european good value friendly staff 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097
