50% off at Ognisko Restaurant

Ognisko restaurant in the heart of South Kensington, Eastern and Central Europe cuisine. The bar serves a huge array of vodkas for you to try. Ognisko restaurant is on the ground floor of the beautiful and elegant building that is the home to the Ognisko Polskie club on Exhibition Road, South Kensington.

There is a large terrace overlooking communal gardens that is open for dining during the summer months. The staff are friendly and attentive and are more than happy to assist if requested.

It is important that the tastecard scheme works for everyone involved; both tastecard members and the participating restaurants. As such we ask our members to book in advance mentioning their tastecard and presenting it upon arrival, by doing so the restaurant is able to calculate discounts correctly. We also encourage members to drink 'paid for drinks' and not just tap water; this encouragement reflects the idea that the scheme works for everyone; our members and our restaurants alike. If eating out becomes more affordable then people will do so more often - increasing footfall for the restaurants and therefore profit - and if the restaurants sell drinks to our members as well as the discounted food, everyone wins!

Important Information

Please Note: The tastecard discount is not available on Celebration Days including Valentine’s Day, Mothering Sunday, Father’s Day etc. or during the month of December.

    A beautiful place for a spot of lunch or a catch up dinner. The modern Polish / East European food is inventive take on old favourites - though I still think pierogi shouldn't be fried - with some delicious homemade wodka - the lemon, and strawberry flavours are wonderful - to help it go down. The service is attentive and there's no problem with using Tastecard. "

    I'm a repeat visitor and on each occasion have found that the revival in the fortunes of this old world restaurant are well deserved.

    On this occasion I had the wild mushroom soup, which was a perfect, filling winter-warmer. I had another starter - the smoked pigeon breast - with some vegetable sides for my main. The pigeon was smoked to perfection and simply melted in the mouth.

    All this was washed down with the extremely reasonably priced lemon vodka (cytrynowka).

    The prompt and polite service rounded off a lovely evening. "

    Was a great pre theatre meal but the staff made us feel like unwanted guests. Downright frosty! Asked 3 times for water which never came. No one asked how our food was and if we needed anything. Ended up having to put our coats on and walk to the till after waiting and repeatedly asking for the bill. Also made it very awkward to use tastecard. A shame as food was lovely. Came quickly. Perfect for a pre theatre meal. "

  • Paul said: "Old World Charm and Great Food
    This was my 60th birthday treat, courtesy of an old friend. I also wanted to demonstrate to him how Tastecard works. Ognisko has an elegant dining room and a covered garden terrace overlooking a London Square. We arrived for an early Lunch, so early we had to wait for the menu (which changes daily) to be printed off.

    Starters were a Fig & Artichoke Salad and a Potato Pancake with Spiced Chicken. This was followed by Poached Salt Beef and a Pork Holsteiner Schnitzel with Fried Egg, Anchovy fillets and Saute Potatoes.We finished with a Cheese Board (extensive enough for two) and Sorbet with a frozen vodka. We had the House Wine, an excellent French Red. Everything was delicious and in "Central European" portions.

    Al a carte prices are very reasonable for the location, South Kensington close to the Museums and the Albert Hall. With the Tastecard they are incredible value. The ambience on the Terrace was lovely and the service was faultless. I hope to return again and the Tastecard concept was sold to my friend who plans to invest in one for him and his wife. "

    I never write reviews, but this was worth it. I often find tastecard's selection of restaurants to be a little uninspiring, but this little gem in Kensington was perfect for a pre-prom summer dinner. The terrace is fab for al fresco, the food v interesting (I had smoked eek starter and goose leg main), the wine was all very interesting (we had Macedonian white) and the service could not have been better. Thanks v much, ill be back for sure. "

    I wanted to show my friends some Polish cuisine and was delighted when I found Polish restaurant that take tastecard. Restaurant is located in a very nice area, looks great inside and has a charming garden. We decided to sit outside, it was more privet because of a bit chill September evening. my friends loved food (and I must say it's hard to impress them and also meet their expectations - one is vegetarian, other don't eat pork). the staff answer all our awkward question and was very helpful. Honestly I couldn't ask for more. And tastecard discount was a great bonus! "

    Fantastic food which opened our eyes to the delights of polish cuisine. A few very minor areas for improvement to help the diner unfamiliar with how best to tackle the menu with it's array of small and larger dishes would be perfection.

    I took my polish girlfriend here on a Wednesday night.
    Right from the beginning everyone was helpful.
    The interior was great and the lighting just right and about half full.
    Now I am not a vodka drinker but on being informed by my GF that it was a must I thought I would give it a try ( and I must say that being kept in the freezer makes all the difference) it was lovely!

    I ordered the pork crackling for a starter along with a mushroom and chestnut dumpling. WOW is all I can say, the cracking was warm and crunchy and soft at the same tame. Amazing!

    The mains were huge and tasty and I was informed by the GF that it was all very authentic.

    Even without the taste card we will be going back!

    This is a place you must try! "

    Only had time for a main course and wine before the theater but the food was really good. Good wine list too. I will definitely be going back for a longer meal and bound to order the Golabki again.

    Only bug I have is when paying with tastecard there's the typical frown and question if I booked with that, which sadly takes the shine off the experience. It's easy for them to check without a fuss and what's the difference anyway, are there two levels of service? If they don't embrace taste card - don't run the offer. "

    A hidden jewel of a restaurant just a few minutes from the hurly burly of South Kensington's museums, which I had forgotten was there, but Tastecard reminded me. It's been around since the 2nd World War, but the recent update has made the most of the surroundings and the Polish traditions.

    This is hearty Polish food with a modern twist. My quail with pomegranate was a delicious and perfectly-sized starter. The steak tartar came as it should, not pre-mixed, and the delicious racuchy - apple pancakes - were hot out of the frying pan. All that with a pretty view from the terrace, a good selection of wodkas and the polite and attentive staff made for a lovely evening.

    The prices do reflect the location, however having a Tastecard takes the sting out of the tail and the place is worth it. I will definitely making another visit and bringing along more friends. "

    A beautiful place for a spot of lunch or a catch up dinner. The modern Polish / East European food is inventive take on old favourites - though I still think pierogi shouldn't be fried - with some delicious homemade wodka - the lemon, and strawberry flavours are wonderful - to help it go down. The service is attentive and there's no problem with using Tastecard. "

  • Basia said: "Worth raising a glass to.
    I'm a repeat visitor and on each occasion have found that the revival in the fortunes of this old world restaurant are well deserved.

    On this occasion I had the wild mushroom soup, which was a perfect, filling winter-warmer. I had another starter - the smoked pigeon breast - with some vegetable sides for my main. The pigeon was smoked to perfection and simply melted in the mouth.

    All this was washed down with the extremely reasonably priced lemon vodka (cytrynowka).

    The prompt and polite service rounded off a lovely evening. "

    Was a great pre theatre meal but the staff made us feel like unwanted guests. Downright frosty! Asked 3 times for water which never came. No one asked how our food was and if we needed anything. Ended up having to put our coats on and walk to the till after waiting and repeatedly asking for the bill. Also made it very awkward to use tastecard. A shame as food was lovely. Came quickly. Perfect for a pre theatre meal. "

  • Paul said: "Old World Charm and Great Food
    This was my 60th birthday treat, courtesy of an old friend. I also wanted to demonstrate to him how Tastecard works. Ognisko has an elegant dining room and a covered garden terrace overlooking a London Square. We arrived for an early Lunch, so early we had to wait for the menu (which changes daily) to be printed off.

    Starters were a Fig & Artichoke Salad and a Potato Pancake with Spiced Chicken. This was followed by Poached Salt Beef and a Pork Holsteiner Schnitzel with Fried Egg, Anchovy fillets and Saute Potatoes.We finished with a Cheese Board (extensive enough for two) and Sorbet with a frozen vodka. We had the House Wine, an excellent French Red. Everything was delicious and in "Central European" portions.

    Al a carte prices are very reasonable for the location, South Kensington close to the Museums and the Albert Hall. With the Tastecard they are incredible value. The ambience on the Terrace was lovely and the service was faultless. I hope to return again and the Tastecard concept was sold to my friend who plans to invest in one for him and his wife. "

    We wanted to have a meal before the Proms and this restaurant was close by. We hadn't eaten Polish food before so thought we would try it . We loved the splendour of the restaurant and the outside seating area where we sat and loved the food at atmosphere. It was a lovely change to the normal restaurants I go to . I wouldn't have gone without the taste card . "

    I never write reviews, but this was worth it. I often find tastecard's selection of restaurants to be a little uninspiring, but this little gem in Kensington was perfect for a pre-prom summer dinner. The terrace is fab for al fresco, the food v interesting (I had smoked eek starter and goose leg main), the wine was all very interesting (we had Macedonian white) and the service could not have been better. Thanks v much, ill be back for sure. "

    I wanted to show my friends some Polish cuisine and was delighted when I found Polish restaurant that take tastecard. Restaurant is located in a very nice area, looks great inside and has a charming garden. We decided to sit outside, it was more privet because of a bit chill September evening. my friends loved food (and I must say it's hard to impress them and also meet their expectations - one is vegetarian, other don't eat pork). the staff answer all our awkward question and was very helpful. Honestly I couldn't ask for more. And tastecard discount was a great bonus! "

    Fantastic food which opened our eyes to the delights of polish cuisine. A few very minor areas for improvement to help the diner unfamiliar with how best to tackle the menu with it's array of small and larger dishes would be perfection. However all one had do to was ask and help was at hand the perfection would come in not having to ask. Now I've cracked it I will return I'm sure. "

    I took my polish girlfriend here on a Wednesday night.
    Right from the beginning everyone was helpful.
    The interior was great and the lighting just right and about half full.
    Now I am not a vodka drinker but on being informed by my GF that it was a must I thought I would give it a try ( and I must say that being kept in the freezer makes all the difference) it was lovely!

    I ordered the pork crackling for a starter along with a mushroom and chestnut dumpling. WOW is all I can say, the cracking was warm and crunchy and soft at the same tame. Amazing!

    The mains were huge and tasty and I was informed by the GF that it was all very authentic.

    Even without the taste card we will be going back!

    This is a place you must try! "

    Only had time for a main course and wine before the theater but the food was really good. Good wine list too. I will definitely be going back for a longer meal and bound to order the Golabki again.

    Only bug I have is when paying with tastecard there's the typical frown and question if I booked with that, which sadly takes the shine off the experience. It's easy for them to check without a fuss and what's the difference anyway, are there two levels of service? If they don't embrace taste card - don't run the offer. "

  • Basia said: "A little gem
    A hidden jewel of a restaurant just a few minutes from the hurly burly of South Kensington's museums, which I had forgotten was there, but Tastecard reminded me. It's been around since the 2nd World War, but the recent update has made the most of the surroundings and the Polish traditions.

    This is hearty Polish food with a modern twist. My quail with pomegranate was a delicious and perfectly-sized starter. The steak tartar came as it should, not pre-mixed, and the delicious racuchy - apple pancakes - were hot out of the frying pan. All that with a pretty view from the terrace, a good selection of wodkas and the polite and attentive staff made for a lovely evening.

    The prices do reflect the location, however having a Tastecard takes the sting out of the tail and the place is worth it. I will definitely making another visit and bringing along more friends. "
