Welcome to Rembrandt Coffee & Eatery House

For the food I would reccommend is the Polish cheese and potato pierogi which is a Polish dumpling. There are also a lot of traditional Polish dishes. They also do takeaway. As for the desserts HEVAN! Especially the Babka Cake and the Jam Filled Doughnuts, YUM! All foods at reasonable prices which fill you up before you finish it, don't worry it's all good. ;o)

I would give a bad service rating because of the one hour to hour and a half food wait, also the service about a waitress, who can be impatient.

The ambience I expected was to be Polish, but it has a clean and modern look, also cosy. One only complaint about the ambience would be that it need some traditional Polski music.

Overall the food was GREAT! The only thing that let this review down was the service. I would reccomend Rembrandt to my family and friends, also you who is reading this.

I visited the new restaurant last night with my family - we have not eaten there since it moved from Maylands. We cook Polish food at home & travel back to Poland regularly. I personally have eaten in many Polish restaurnats in my travels. I was greatly dissapointed with the food & the lack of polish decor. In comparison to when it was in Maylands the food has definitely declined in quality & is lacking in taste. The soup: 'Zurek' was not the real thing - tasted like packet soup, the 'golabki' had more rice than meat & no taste, the 'pierogi' were tasteless and too peppery. Whatever the reason for this dissapointing change we're not eating there again. Sadly the food no longer tastes like 'real' Polish food.

My friends and I visited this old favourite of ours on Saturday, 15th March, 2008.

We'd dined at this restaurant when they were originally located at Eighth Ave, Maylands and we knew how good their hearty, simple meals were previously, so we thought we'd try their new location at Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant was near full at 7.30pm and was spacious, ambient and well decorated; a much more professional restaurant now than when it's previous existence as an affordable, family-friendly, homestyle cafe at the Maylands location.

The warm, friendly, Polish-accented greeting and professional service-style of the immaculately groomed staff who seated is something you don't see much at restaurants these days.

Although we were a large group of 9, they catered for us by giving us a private 'function' room setting at the very far end of the restaurant, conveniently close to the toilets but not distracted by other guests' visits.

Our table was laid out in crisp, white linen, although the main dining area was neatly laid out in small to larger tables dressed in burgundy.

Corkage is $3.00 per bottle, but worth it when you consider the benefit of choosing your own selection of wines.

Polish food at this restaurant is unpretentious, typically European and very simple, composed mainly of stews, schnitzels, dumplings and baked meats. Don't expect to see any fancy items, game, poor-taste garnishes, or exotic 'fusions' - this is what Poles actually eat at home.

The menu is simple and bilingual, in Polish/English with a brief description of the dish. Prices range from very low, hearty, homestyle cooking through to pricier slow-baked meats, like my delicious pork (bacon) hock, boiled then roasted simply and served with a cooked sauerkraut, waxy, tasty, yellow-flesh potatoes with a choice of either horseradish or European mustard.

The meals were served almost simultaneously after a short waiting time and later, collected simultaneously again after a comfortable time had passed by the two polite female staff.

The surprising thing was that all the dishes were returned practically scraped clean of every edible morsel of food and gravy!

We were then tempted to examine their inexpensive dessert menu, which featured Polish-style cakes, a rather expensive-but-delicious ice-cream selection, a home-made baked cheesecake (which is a rarity today), a 'babka' (some of you Jerry Seinfeld fans may remember this Polish sponge-cake from an episode of "Seinfeld") and the menu also features an unusual 'honey cake' slab that looked not unlike an unbaked modern cheesecake; but to die for!

We decided to divide the bill individually for our meals, but the total, corkage of 4 bottles of wine and 2 starters of dark rye bread slices with a bacon and crackling, pork-dripping dip, as well as coffee was $220.00 for 9 of us; so you do the mathematics!

We have now officially added Rembrandt Restaurant as one of our regular Dinner Club establishments to frequent.

I hope you will enjoy your dining experience as much as we did ours!

Eaten at Rembrandts when it was at Maylands, also Mt.Lawley........there are some changes, but nothing that would deter me from going back for more yummie Polish Cuisine. I thought the owner would have a little more "POLISH" decor around the place with Polish music playing at a soft tone in the background, but only the voices of other patrons talking to be heard. It's BYO.......On the way out buy a tasty PÄ…czki (Polish doughnuts) yummmmmmmmmmmie!!!!!!!

A hankering for zurek led me to be dragged along with the family to Rembrandt by my well travelled sister tonight. While I have fond memories of the homey little cafe in Maylands, this new establishment in Inglewood seems to have gone a bit more upmarket with the decor while still delivering its homestyle Polish cuisine.

At first glance it seems like a whole lot of cabbage and potato but while I've decided that sauerkraut is not my thing, it was much like the side salad one would expect to get with a steak. On the other hand, the potatoes baked in cream sauce were very rich and tasty. We started with zurek, borsch and croquettes, accompanied by slices of rye bread, which came out in massive bowls and were almost a meal in themselves. We were also given two bottles of chilled tap water without needing to request it, which always gets a thumbs up in my books.

Mains came almost immediately after our plates were cleared with a variety of the menu sampled, including meat pierogi, potato and cheese pierogi(dumplings), goulash, bigos, galobki and placki. I had the placki, which was described as potato pancakes with goulash, a hearty meat stew. What came out was two large pancakes with the yummy stew sandwiched between and covered in a mushroom sauce. The pierogi were also an interesting one for us, being used to chinese dumplings, the meat filling was a little pasty but the potato and cheese filling was delicious. The menu was quite descriptive, which helped a lot for people that don't know much about polish food.

Pricing was quite reasonable, with just over $22 per person for main and entree. Servings were quite generous, with some of us not managing to finish our mains.

Being a wednesday night, they were fairly busy but with plenty of tables free, most seemingly set for groups of two or four. The waitress did seem a little miffed that we had no booking, however she was quite helpful and polite with everything else.

The decor was quite unremarkable, very minimalist blank walls in contrasting colours, giving it a clean modern look. It detracts a fair bit from the former premises which I enjoyed for its cosy ambience but the new decor scheme fits in better with the rest of the more upmarket surrounding eateries.

The only noticable downside was that there was a bit of a wait between ordering and receiving our entrees, and there only seemed to be one waitress on the floor at anytime so getting attention to order drinks and such was a bit of a hassle.

All in all a unique experience in Perth given there is a distinct lack of eastern european cuisine here. Definitely a nice change from the saturated steak/italian/chinese market.

We love this restaurant as parents were Polish. The food is simple but great, more home cooked style. The Golabki and the Pierogi are great, and it is BYO. Decor plain and simple, and the service falls a bit short, and the lady can abrupt. They do takeaway as well.

Had kept missing out when this place was small in Maylands but went for a celebration dinner to the new bigger premises on Beaufort Street, Inglewood.

Unfortunately it was a bad start to the evening as we had three last minute cancellations to our table. We were disappointed not to see friends but the hostess was much more aggrieved that we had not informed her earlier so that she could have used the table. Her attitude was atrocious and she lectured the entire table loudly as if we were children. (There were quite a few empty tables around with no reserve signs). Apologising did not seem to calm her down and soon the entire table was disgusted with the incident.

All had been told of the great food though so we decided to stay on and proceed to wait and hour and a half for our dinner.

The good bit comes though and the pierogi (polish dumplings) were absolutely incredible. The other dishes were satisfying and tasty. One must keep in mind that this is wholesome, home style cooking so don’t expect gourmet food.

To conclude, the place looked nice and the food was great (when we finally got it) but the service was terrible. They do a takeaway menu though and I will be going back for more dumplings.

I have Polish heritage so was looking forward to enjoying some foods which I remember eating as a girl. My partner is not of Polish heritage but is always up for trying new and interesting foods.

We had the Meat Pierogi, Russian Pierogi and the Hunters Stew. I also ordered some mushroom sauce to have on the side with the pierogi. In all it came to $25 which was an absolute bargain as we were both stuffed at the end.

I really enjoyed it and will be going back to try other things on the menu. Although the decor could be nicer, it really is like you are sitting in someone's house (with a few extra tables and chairs).So if you are looking for a comfortable and casual evening I would recommend it.

We have tried Rembrandt 2 times

My wife is Polish, very original/authentic Polish food, nice and clean we keep coming back

I've been here a few times during the past year. I believe it is Perth's only Polish Restaurant (I might be wrong).

My sister's partner is from Eastern Europe, so Rembrandt is a haven for him and I can understand why: the food is superb. Furthermore, the homely feel of the restaurant is very appealing.

The lovingly prepared dishes are always absolutely delicious. They are all authentic, tasty and excellent value.

So, if you're bored with the dull, 'trendy' overpriced stuff we seem to get so much off these days definitely give Rembrandt a go.
