About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
Based in a converted carriage works, the interior of Southwark’s Baltic restaurant is achingly hip. Warm neutral colours, pale wooden beams and natural light from the glass atrium give the place a natural, organic feel. Right by Southwark tube, Baltic is an ideal place to kick back and indulge in some inspired Eastern European delicacies pre- or post- a trip to The Globe Theatre or The Tate Modern, and it just wouldn't be right to leave without sampling some of the many varieties of Polish and Russian vodka that, along with the hearty food, are Baltic’s calling card. Polish food devotees will know owner Jan Woroniecki’s name from the uber successful Wodka in Kensington, and Chef Kristov in Hammersmith; Baltic too offers a selection of traditional and not-so-traditional Eastern European dishes like pierogi, chilled Hungarian sour cherry soup or caviar blinis served with (you guessed it!) vodka. The other great draw is the jazz, on Sunday nights.

    As always I couldn't decide what to have and end up ordering more than I should as the food is so tasty! This is a regular for me. The staff are wonderful and friendly and the food and drink are of a high quality and gentle on the wallet :)

    The food in the Baltic was good. While the full menu was on offer we took advantage of the very reasonable Sunday brunch menu. This included a brilliant Bloody Mary. The staff were friendly and we really enjoyed our time there.

    I love this place. The food is unusual but delicious, the setting is amazing and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Beware the vodka if you want to do anything useful the next day though!

    Excellent food, attentive and friendly staff and good atmosphere. Perhaps a bit expensive but it is well worth the price as everything is fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

    Varied menu and everything we had was delicious especially the chicken livers. Service was very good and all the staff both charming and knowledgeable whether advising on the cocktails, wine or food.
