About Eat Pierogi Make Love

Lygon Street gets a riot of Polish comfort, pouring spiced grzaniec alongside platters of handmade pierogi. Regulars flock to the heated courtyard for Monday's bottomless Pierogi Infinity feasts, packing in rounds of organic beef, jalapeño cheese, and sauerkraut. Smashed potatoes arrive heaped with twaróg, while an open kitchen keeps the dining room humming with euro pop and clinking glasses from a wall of regional vodkas. Dinner wraps neatly over chilled glasses of house-stirred kompot.

  • Pierogi Infinity Mondays: Monday evenings feature $39 bottomless dining across revolving traditional and vegan dumpling varieties.
  • Heritage Vodka & Warm Grzaniec: Shelves lined with regional Polish spirits, spiced mulled wine, and house-made fruit kompot.
  • Courtyard & Bar Hospitality: Heated outdoor courtyard seating, open-kitchen bar stools, and welcoming accommodations for plant-based eaters and kids.

  • Revolving Handmade Flavours on Demand

    Guests can sample a starter tasting platter across all five varieties before ordering unlimited rounds of their preferred fillings brought straight to the table.

    They gave us a mixed plate on the first round so you could try all the flavours, then you can request whichever flavours you liked for the next plate(s)

  • Lively Polish Tavern Atmosphere

    Guests are immersed in a buzzing Polish tavern setting complete with open-kitchen counters, retro European pop music, and nostalgic broadcasts.

    It was loud, lively, full of Polish conversation and even had classic Polish TV shows playing on the projector.

  • Heritage Spirits & Polish Vodkas

    The beverage menu features an expansive wall of authentic regional spirits alongside traditional house-crafted kompot fruit drinks.

    They have an entire wall of Polish booze, I recommend the Sour Cherry Sour cocktail, one of their Polish beers or if you’re game enough - VODKA

  • Pierogi Infinity

    Tried their Monday pierogi infinity special (unlimited pierogi $39, Apr 2026) and it was an amazing experience

  • Moskol

    Then came the Moskol (traditional potato flatbread from the Podhale region) stuffed with garlic and chive butter, whipped crème fraîche and smoked trout. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the smoked trout absolutely stole the show.

  • Kielbasa Pierogi

    Kielbasa pierogi 6.5/10, delicious, but again was wanting a bit more filling and flavour with each bite, but would order again.

  • Ser Goralski

    The Grilled Mountain Cheese with Cranberry Sauce was extra smokey which I love, its a cheese sourced only from a specific area of Poland.

  • Kompot

    Also tried the Kompot - tasted like a cold version of mulled wine minus the alcohol. It was great!

    The Grzaniec (mulled wine) with a shot of Miodówka (Polish honey vodka) was absolute heaven.

Before you head over

Key planning tips on reservations, menu availability, and table preferences.

  • Book ahead for Monday night Pierogi Infinity

    Monday nights feature the $39 per person Pierogi Infinity all-you-can-eat special, which fills up quickly and draws heavy crowds even early in the evening. Secure a reservation in advance rather than walking in.

  • Plan around the reduced Monday menu

    On Monday unlimited pierogi nights, standard à la carte mains are not served. If you want slow-cooked beef cheeks, wild boar rolls, or full specialty mains, visit between Wednesday and Sunday instead.

  • Ask for dietary and garnish customizations

    Dining parties with dietary preferences or picky eaters can easily request custom plates: the kitchen offers vegan options like jalapeño and cheese, and gladly prepares servings without sour cream or dill toppings.
