Patio was a Polish restaurant on Goldhawk Road in [[Locale Shepherd's Bush|Shepherd's Bush]], just across from the west end of Shepherd's Bush Green. [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.503115,-0.2235178,3a,90y,158.41h,93.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skegpqf9KAxOrEtkd7M4Tgg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 According to Google Street View], it closed down by September 2017. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Polish restaurant on Goldhawk Road in [[Locale Shepherd's Bush|Shepherd's Bush]], just across from the west end of Shepherd's Bush Green. It's been around since the 1980s. The interior is lavishly-decorated <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3579215389/ photo]</small>, and there's even a piano wedged in among the plasticky-paper-cloth-clad tables. [[Kake]] and [[bob]] visited on a Friday evening in May 2009. We hadn't booked, but there was no problem finding us a table; indeed, arriving around 7:45pm we were the first diners of the evening, and there were still plenty of free tables when we left shortly after 9pm. We went for the set menu <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3580095358/sizes/l/ photo]</small> (£16.50 including a shot of vodka), since it looked more interesting than the a la carte <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3580103182/sizes/l/ photo]</small>; this turned out to be a good decision. A basket of bread (neither bad, nor notably good) arrived shortly after we sat down, along with a small dish of very tasty pork and apple spread <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3579938000/ photo]</small>. Although we didn't explicitly ask for this, it did appear on the bill. [[Kake]] started with the herring with apple salad <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3580038270/ photo]</small>. It was pretty good; although the herring would have been too salty on its own, it was just right with the accompanying shredded apple salad, sour cream, lightly pickled red onion, and thinly-sliced green cabbage. A shame about the two pieces of apple set on the side of the plate as a garnish; they were so browned that they'd obviously been sliced quite a while in advance. [[bob]] had the bigos (hunter's stew), which he seemed to enjoy. For mains, [[Kake]] went for the assorted pierogi <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3580054482/ photo]</small>; these were fine, though one of the fillings was a little watery. The potato-cheese filling was perhaps my favourite. [[bob]] had the golabki <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3579235143/ photo]</small>, which again he seemed to enjoy. Generous servings of vegetables arrived alongside — boiled carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans; cucumber and dill salad; saute potatoes. Following our mains, we got to choose which vodka we'd like for the shot included on the set menu, then a dish of fresh fruit pieces to share arrived pre-dessert. [[Kake]] was too full for actual dessert, and ordered a second vodka instead, which pleasingly wasn't charged for. [[bob]] had a piece of cake or something. Note that it's unclear whether coffee and tea are included in the set menu; some reviews say yes, others say no. [[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd come back, but I'd like to try some of the other Polish places in London too. Accessibility: A step up to get in, and toilets are down a flight of stairs.
