Great Blinis. Great Vodka. Unusual but good East European food.

[*] 19 January 2012 From London

Winning acclaim from Time Out and the Evening Standard, Baltic Restaurant & Bar serves an array of Eastern European cuisine in a stunning contemporary setting. Offering live jazz on Sundays, the Baltic Bar prepares its own naturally infused flavoured vodka.

The Baltic Restaurant & Bar menu boasts all of the bold, exciting flavours that cuisine from the east of Europe is famous for. Crab and crayfish salad with kohlrabi and apple offers an eclectic blend of flavours, while Baltic mains include the tangy goose leg with beetroot, spring onion and redcurrant. Vegetarian dishes are also available at Baltic Restaurant.

Light bites like potato pancakes and blinis are served at the Amber Bar at Baltic Restaurant & Bar London. The speciality here is vodka infused with flavours ranging from honey to plum brandy. There is also an excellent wine list and range of bespoke Baltic cocktails.

Sleek, modern and eclectic, Baltic Restaurant & Bar South Bank sits just opposite Blackfriars Tube Station.

                    Comments about this restaurant :

                    The service was very professional but the food was disappointing. Far too much and odd combinations. Has quite a cold feel and from the outside it looks closed! But looking at past reviews, it appears most other people don't agree. Maybe I just chose badly.

                                This was supposedly a pre theatre dinner. No food arrived following a 35 minute wait. No bread offered and no apology. Then we had to chase fot the main in order to get out in time and by the allocated slot. Yes they even phone you beforehand to tell you that you only have 1 1/2 hours then dont bri g the food to eat.

                                Stressful and makes you very angry. Then have the audacity to add service charge. We wnont be going back. Plenty of choice in this area.

                                      This was our first time at Baltic and we loved it. We had ed the London Restaurant Festival menu which was first class and amazing value for money. We had the best blinis and smoked salmon that we had ever had. The main course (hake with wild mushrooms) was out of this world. The service was very friendly and efficient. We will come back soon for dinner and music when the restaurant is a bit more lively than a Monday lunchtime.

                                                  I have visited Baltic before and eaten from the pre-theatre menu which in my opinion has a better range of dishes, but even so, the meal mid-evening was delicious. The flavoured vodka shots were great fun and something different to get the evening going.

                                                        Dined in the early evening with a group of colleagues. Service and presentation was excellent. Lovely ambience, if a bit dark.
