Placemat at "Pierogarnia Stary Toruń"Our day ended with a bang! We returned to Toruń and walked to a popular restaurant here in Toruń "Peirogarnia Stary Toruń"

Everyone says it has the best pierogi and after tasting them I can not disagree! MY MOUTH WAS IN HEAVEN!!! I chose to have the traditional pierogies with potatoes, onions & bacon with a garlic sauce, while the others had some that were like small paszteciki. Adam had meat with plums, Artur had some with chicken & and Ania had pierogies with pork. If you are every in Toruń, you must pay a visit to this restaurant, your tastebuds will be getting a gift from heaven.

My eyes were bigger than my stomach & I thought I would have eaten more, but it was just not possible. We all were VERY full and would not be able to eat any dessert, but we did walk a bit after dinner & stopped at a popular place called "Lenkiewicz" for ice cream.

Interesting color choice.

Wonderful old door

Toruń street scene.

Heaven on a plate!!!
