Best Chicago Polish & Eastern European Food

Anyone craving zurek, golabki or a good pastry case can use this guide to Chicago's Polish and Eastern European restaurants. They span Ukrainian Village and Wicker Park, the old Polish Triangle on Division Street and the Northwest Side in Jefferson Park and Norwood Park, plus Staropolska Restaurant.

Kasia's Deli has made pierogi since 1982, sold hot or frozen by the dozen alongside golabki and potato pancakes. Podhalanka is a cash-only time capsule serving soups like zurek and krupnik and stuffed cabbage. In Jefferson Park, Smakosz is known for its assortment plate and Lublin pork topped with a fried egg, while the Red Apple Buffet lays out pierogi, pork knuckle and roast duck in a room decorated like a country house. Finish at Shokolad Pastry & Cafe. At the Red Apple's all-you-can-eat spread, come hungry and pace yourself.
