ciao ! reviews
Some of the most charming spots endure for their consistent commitment to excellence . Bistro Dansk , the old-world oasis in West Broadway is one such gem .
A not-so-secret recipe , that folds the joy of cooking into flavour , has earned the 44-seat bistro a loyal following of diners . Husband wife partners , Paul and Pamela Vocadlo , in the kitchen side by side for 35 years , may be garnishing the recipes with a pinch of love too .
The pine panelled and press clipping clad bistro , with its heaping portions of European comfort food , plucks the same nostalgic chord as going home to grandma ’ s kitchen . Today , amid new entrepreneurial neighbours , it continues to draw comfort seekers . Tables , bearing an updated clothless look , mark the only noticeable change in the welcoming environment . Cheery servers efficiently move about , quickly returning after taking orders with a heaping basket of crusty , fresh baked bread to initiate appetites .
Czech specialties of Paul ’ s heritage , along with everlasting European classics round out the Danish dishes emerging from the kitchen . Vocadlo ’ s family recipe for palachinkas makes a satisfyingly decadent lunch option . Juicy morsels of chicken in a creamy wine sauce fill two thin crepes to bursting . Accompanying slices of fresh fruit add contrasting sweetness .
Danish frikadeller , another hearty dish standing the test of time , presents two tennis size ( veal and pork ) meatballs fried crisp , yielding tender meat inside . The hefty portion is balanced with pickled beets and a signature pickle dotted potato salad .
Precisely executed , luxuriously sauced and generous , dinner entrées define old school hospitality . Chicken breast , smothered in paprika sauce and stuffed veal tenderloin are among the perennial crowd pleasers . However , regulars are hard pressed to pass up the deliciously comforting schnitzel . The crisp , breaded exterior reveals tender chicken or pork . Pair either with tangy sweet and sour cabbage for a match made in heaven meal .
After such feasting dessert may seem utterly absurd . We say , keep soothing the soul and go for the hazelnut pie .
