Borsch, Vodka and Tears - Glen Eira

I came here for dinner w my partner and a friend. I’ve wanted to come here for ages now and I keep missing out so I was really excited.<br/ <br/ Initially I started w a flight of 3 strong vodkas and whoa they certainly warmed me up. The first one was fine until a few mins later hahaha, happy days! <br/ <br/ My partner and friend ordered a Vesper cocktail w Gin, Vodka, Vermouth and this took my breath away hahaha! Phew, it was strong.<br/ <br/ Food wise we ordered cabbage rolls which were good, but the cabbage leaves were thick and tasted a little undercooked for me. <br/ <br/ We shared some dumplings, one beef and chicken and the other one was Porcini Mushroom and sauerkraut and they were both delicious. They were really moorish and filling. They came w different sauces and this was a highlight.<br/ <br/ The sticky cranberry vodka glazed pork belly was fantastic, the pork was cooked really well, it was juicy and the sticky sauce was like toffee. Yum!<br/ <br/ We then shared a platter called a Farmers Zakuski which consisted of vodka cured kangaroo “tartare” and lamb croquette, venison smoked duck terrine, devils on horseback (what was that? Lol), old fashioned salami,ham hock fritter and rich mans butter.<br/ <br/ The Farmers Zakuski was delicious, I really enjoyed the different elements to this dish and the various flavours. Even the rich mans butter tasted good, it was almost like lard w meat pieces. I am not sure what the devils on horseback was but everything tasted really good hahaha.<br/ <br/ This was a really fun night and this place is definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful baked pretzel with a generous helping of chicken, bacon and cheese as well as some delicious pickles. When you see Borsch, the first thing you’d expect is a vodka bar but trust me when I say that, start looking at their food instead <br/ <br/ Borsch’s Pretzel Club was phenomenal and for $13,it was one of the best value for money dishes I have ever eaten. The chicken was a good portion and cooked beautifully, the bacon and cheese went amazingly with the soft pretzel and it was just a really really good dish.<br/ <br/ Borsch truly delivered with this dish and I would highly recommend their food to anyone in Windsor/Prahran because you’d be surprise that their polish food is definitely delish as well!

One of my favourite spots in south side, it's casual and cozy, love the vibe, comforting soup, crazy vodka menu, despite not a huge fan of vodka, still impressed by the cocktails and the infused vodka choice.

Came here on a Saturday night with my husband. Highly recommend trying this place out. Both food and service was great. We ordered 7 dishes to share and each of it was very tasty. Their starters especially was delicious. Will definitely come here again.

I had heard great things about this place so was quite excited to see what all the hype was about. It was dimly lit with warm red hues with quite an extensive bar menu. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Borsch, Vodka and Tears. The waitresses were personable and made us feel at ease. The food was fantastic and we were very comfortably full and definitely happy with our food choices. I am excited to go back to try their other dishes and maybe a tasting platter of vodka...or 2. It is definitely worth a visit to satisfy your Polish cravings or experience this cuisine for the first time.
