Went here for a family function and the food was great. I wish there was a change table though in the washroom, and more than 2 highchairs. Otherwise it was a great place to go .
The food here was exceptional and authentic.
Fantastic place that is overdue for the region. Excellent schnitzel, cabbage rolls like my grandma use to make and the best perogies I have had in 20 years. Will be coming back regularly.
Great food! Good home cooking! Owners are very nice, you can feel the love in the food! Pierogies and the hunters schnitzel was fantastic!
Great food, great staff, great experience! Definitely coming back
Good perogies, but needed more sour cream. Service could be friendlier.
So proud of my Friends. Guelph has embraced them with loving arms. Their homemade food is delicious. A small, Family-run bistro serving up quality food. Congratulations on your success! Be sure to visit and try for yourself.
Wonderful ethnic food done right! A little pricey but very tasty.
Friendly staff in newly renovated, clean location. Nice selection of authentic polish meals. Super yummy Perogies (different choices for filling), tasty Schnitzel and Potato Pancakes (deep fried). Choice of different Polish salads as a side. Great portion sizes! Potential for improvement: be more eco-conscious -glasses instead of disposable plastic cups, switch take out containers (no styrofoam) and plastic bags to paper bags, please!
While visiting Guelph, had the opportunity to visit the Broken English Bistro for some Polish food. The restaurant although small with a patio and a small menu did not disappoint us. The four of us varied our selection from Hunters Schnitzel, very good, to Perogies which were enjoyed. The waitress was very friendly and filled our orders quickly. Overall, I would recommend to anyone in the area to visit the Broken English Bistro.
The pierogies are incredible! The owners are very friendly as well!
Amazing home made perogies. Nice little space, good patio as well.
Casual and small. Good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Exceptionally clean
One of the best polish restaurants in the area. Although the menu for this place is relatively small they always have a variety of delicious polish dishes. So far I have tried the schnitzel sandwich which was delicious and filling, The cottage cheese pierogies which were perfectly fried and topped with crispy bacon, I also tried two of Thier soups which were of course delicious. Another great thing about the resturant is the modern and upscale decor, complete with a spacious outdoor patio. Overall a great resturant if you're looking to try polish food.
Meaty cabbage rolls. Always delicious
Amazing Polish comfort food in the north end of Guelph with a wide selection of Polish staples. It wasn't busy from a Saturday which was a shame because this family run restaurant deserves more love from the community! The owners were very friendly and despite the patio being closed for the season they let us sit there. The restaurant feels very cozy and is decorated with traditional Polish patterns and clothing. The menu has a mix of salads, schnitzel and pierogies. We ordered a little bit of everything (e.g. goulash, schnitzel, cabbage rolls and pierogies). All good comes as a combo where you get a two small sides. For the schnitzel you have a choice of pork or chicken. I got the pork and found it to be very tender and lightly breaded. They ran out of cucumber salad which I wish I got to try so I opted for the ceasar salad instead. Pierogies were delicious with the bacon bits sprinkled on top. And the star was the coleslaw! It was nice and creamy and well balanced. They have great outdoor seating and a very cute patio. Staff is friendly and service is quick.
This little bistro is wonderful!
Outstanding schnitzel, cabbage rolls, desserts, and salads (try the Polish sauerkraut, or beet salad). Very reasonable, just licensed though it'll take a bit to set it up. It's a family business, and pretty well most of the menu is homemade. Loved it (and so did Sue and she's not easy to please). Will be back.
Wonderful local family run restaurant. Great comfy homemade food
March 2021: Takeout, schnitzel and a dessert; delicious!! July 2, 2020: Had dinner here again; we love their outdoor patio! Not too close to the road. Enjoyed the food. Spring 2019: Five of us (friends, seniors) had lunch here and all loved the food. it was a nice day so we sat on the patio in shade. Reminds me of Europe in many ways. Friendly service. Not a big menu but enough options. The cabbage rolls and perrogies especially are superb. The schnitzel (thin fried pork or chicken) was very good too. Aug, 4: Had dinner here with my wife and friends, on the patio. A hot evening but plenty of shade here, plus umbrellas. She also loved the schnitzel, beet salad and desert. This place deserves to be discovered by more people. Aug. 31: had dinner here again with a group of four on the patio and enjoyed it. The schnitzel and the Żywiec beer were delicious.
Amazing perogies, schnitzel, and perogies.
DELICIOUS pierogies. Best I've ever had
My husband and I decided to give the Broken English Bistro a try on a recent Friday evening. We've both driven by the small restaurant, located in a small plaza, numerous times and were curious. The patio, unfortunately, wasn't open yet despite the beautiful weather so we had a seat in the small dining area. The menu is on a chalkboard along the back wall, and parts of it change daily. I opted to get the cabbage rolls meal with the side of cucumber salad and mashed potatoes (that day's side). My husband opted for the potato and cheese pierogies with a very garlicky Caesar salad. I had a clementine San Pellegrino (very nice!) and my husband had a Corona (we recognized only 2 of the imported beers - there were 4 we hadn't heard of). My husband wasn't blown away by his pierogies but I thought they presented well! There were 9 pierogies on the plate, topped with sour cream, bacon and chives. My cabbage rolls were to die for! Each bite just melted in my mouth and I wished I had more than the two rolls that came! The cucumber salad was nice, similar to one I make for myself at home. The mashed potatoes weren't fancy by any means but that wasn't why I ordered what I did! We will definitely be back - I'm wanting more of those cabbage rolls and I'm very curious about the beef goulash as well!
Good meal reminded me of my omas cooking
Amazing Food! Love the awesome patio! Super chill vibe!
Such a lovely little bistro. The perogies were fresh and hot with bacon and onion. I highly recommend the beet salad but the cucumber and dill was good too as a side. They offer take out and frozen items too. I took some frozen cabbage rolls with me! I will ???? be back to try more dishes.
Love this place! Very lovely atmosphere and the food is excellent. Had the pierogies and they did not disappoint.
Delicious handmade perogies, sausage and schnitzel. Clean open servery. Casual sit down diner. Friendly, polite service and a great European style Napoleon for dessert. The custard was divine and made locally and brought in from a bakery. I would visit this place for another home cooked meal anytime!
I like this place! They give first-cleass dishes, their menu is nice, The cook in that place is very experienced, I like very much eating all their food. The dishes are always of high class, the service towards the customers is very good too. I frequently visit this place and I was never discontended. I recommend it to all.
This site is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a good lunch, this is the place that comes straight to my mind. fresh and food and a rich menu.trained team, and nice spirit. Not less important, the charge is reasonable. I praise this place with great pleasure.
First time. Wonderful food. Friendly. Family business. Will definitely return. Purchased cabbage rolls to eat some other time at home.
Great spot, good value, DELICIOUS food
Better than Bacia's!
Best place for European food period. Go and enjoy!!!!
Pierogies were amazing!!
Service
Excellent Food Very friendly
I absolutely love their food and customer service, fantastic area nearby to my residence. The staff members are always very friendly. Would recommend to others.
Delicious. Homemade perogies and schnitzel with all the sides and more. Licensed and has a patio. Free parking . Wheelchair accessible. Family run polish food. Freenparking. Lots of take out. Small but fresh and delicious.
Guelph was missing this! Broken English offers of a wide variety of home cooked polish meals from delicious perogies, schnitzel with homemade gravy, and a must try cabbage roll. Portions are large and the price is right! Very friendly staff. New favourite in Guelph
Amazing home cooked food! Everything from scratch. Owners are the cooks and servers. Small menu and everything is ready. True home cooked fast food! They also have take out even in larger volume. Cabbage rolls are incredible! Portions are very generous and the people so friendly! Come and give it a try!
This is a great little Bistro in the city of Guelph. I got a pork schnitzel sandwich. The pork has a very light batter and the bun is very fresh and good bread so the sandwich is delicious. The place is clean, the service was fast and the food is very tasty at a low price. One of the best places around for a casual meal.
Such a great Restaurant! Nice and cozy & Food is delicious!
A very homey touch and wonderful meals. A traditional And unique Bistro. I like!
We shared the schnitzel and perogies meals. Both were delicious, homemade and fresh. The service was friendly and fast. Will be back!
Food was good, I just wish I could have ordered a combo with perogi and schnitzel, I just couldn't choose one or the other! Looking forward to trying out the patio next summer.
I meet with friends this great spot quite a bit! This is my favorite spot to to have a good dinner. I visit this spot routinely. The cooking is excellent, the crew is welcoming and the rates are good. I like meeting in this spot over a nice dinner.
This is authentic Polish style food. The menu is limited and the food is very good. I had the chicken schnitzel with hunter (mushroom) sauce with beet salad and pirogi. The portion was quite large.The restaurant is very clean and the waitress quite friendly. While in the restaurant, I noticed another diner eating the cabbage rolls. I purchased cabbage rolls from the restaurant freezer and baked them the following day for a meal at home. The cabbage rolls were quite hearty, full of meat and tender. Another customer was served the goulash; I will order it next time I visit. I will go back to Broken English again.
Authentic, home cooked from scratch, Polish food. Comfortable, warm dining experience. Close earlier than many, but worth fitting them into your schedule. Sit down or take out. Great value.
Fantastic home cooked meals..Polish cuisine..Danuta is a fantastic cook and baker..try it you won't be disappointed.
I had a big craving for perogies last night. My local search led me to takeout from Broken English Bistro. These homemade perogies were delicious. The beet salad was also top notch!
Very pleased with this restaurant. I have eaten here about five times now and tried most menu items. The food quality is very good and the owners are friendly and professional. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. Limited menu, but I don't consider that a bad thing.
Great pork schnitzel and pierogies and friendly service ????
Great little restaurant serving classic Polish cuisine. The pierogi we're fantastic. Loved the cabbage rolls. Highly recommend
Very cute small business with AMAZING polish food, decor and people! You can get food for sit down or take out, or even purchase premade meals to cook later. Definitely try the pierogies!!
My friend and I went for lunch at this charming, small restaurant. We both had the perogies and salad. I had the cucumber dill and she had the beet salad. The prices were reasonable. The service was great. It was our first visit and the young waitress was very knowledgeable with regards to the small menu. She obviously ate and enjoyed the food herself.
Excellent. Service and better food. Pierogies and cabbage rolls rocked. Will return over and over. Loved it
I had the pork schnitzel my husband had perogies and a beet salad. We will definitely be back absolutely delicious.
Excellent food and service. Our new favourite place. Perogies, schnitzel and cabbage rolls are amazing!
Great tasting authentic food. Will return soon.
Very good staff polite and attentive...clean atmosphere great meals..always very friendly and inviting faces
Great European meals
Great spot for home cooked schnitzel, pierogies and cabbage rolls. Very good. Great patio as well. To to of the authentic experience, they have 4 types of Polish beer.
Amazing staff and food is loveable
This was quite good place ladies working inside were really awesome and respectful
Excellent Polish fare: loved the perogies
Tried to support a local business yesterday. Stood in front of the til for over 20 minutes waiting to order. Never once looked up at the three people waiting in line to even say “we are busy please wait a moment.” I would have happily ordered and came back an hour later to pick up, had I been given the chance. Rude.
Good Polish food.
Newer Polish dining experience..their cabbage rolls and pierogies are awesome but leave room for dessert because there is a great selection and it's awesome!
Amazing little spot. Very friendly staff and food was very authentic. Must try the Pierogies and Apple Cake!!!
I love the perogies and slaw. The schnitzel dinners could be a bit better. Je ne sais quoi. I like this place tho. The patio is lovely and quiet.
Taste just like my grandmother used to make, amazing! The borshct is incredible!!
Great Patio, People and Pierogies!
One of my favourite restaurants in Guelph! Everything is super authentic and delicious! Amazing staff and awesome patio!
Wonderful food and owners
Somehow I've never been here- today was our first visit and it won't be our last. Welcoming place-friendly staff Fast service and delicious food. Spotlessly clean and perfect record on check before you choose!!
The absolute best. I get cravings every little while for their pierogie dinner and cabbage rolls. Anytime I’ve gone in person the owners are so friendly and warm. You will love it!!
On of the the best places I have eaten at in a while. Small with good service friendly staff and really good food !
A authentic Polish experience. The pierogie are just how grandma made them back home, and tasted great. The salads were a nice variety. The owners seemed very nice, and all spoke Polish creating a friendly, home like, environment. The restaurant was very clean and well taken, and hands are being washed between every task. There’s also an outdoor patio, which looked nice, but was cold for the winter. Will definitely be returning to try some more items off the menu.
Really good polish food. Highly recommended
Fantastic, home-cooked pierogies and cabbage rolls. I'll happily drive 20 minutes across town to come to this restaurant. You feel like part of the family here!
Yummy. Only 4 stars cause it was our first time. Will bump it up after another great meal.
Great food and staff! Food is very authentic and so look good!
Really nice place with great food, drinks and desserts! The waitress was fantastic and the folks running the kitchen were incredibly kind. Some of the best Polish food I've had in Ontario. I would highly recommend this place.
The food was great and the staff super friendly. We will be back soon
Finally had a chance to try out Broken English. We ordered takeout, which was ready right on schedule. I had the pork schnitzel, potatoes and cucumber salad, with a side of pierogi. Everything was fresh and tasty. Schnitzel was perfect and with a slice of lemon as I like it. The cucumber salad was unique and perfect. Pierogi we’re right on! We also took home a frozen order of cabbage rolls, which no doubt will be great. Thank you!!
Lunch
Delightful spot in town which deserves to be much better known. Authentic home cooked Polish cuisine. Pierogies and more frozen and available to take home. Great, focused menu. Welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere for a casual meal with friends and family. Don't miss this great local, family restaurant!
Nice polish restaurant. Good perogies and sausage. Excellent service very clean and a nice patio.
Part of the Friday night routine now. Friendly staff and great food.
Lovely little place, great schnitzel, and really nice owners
The food is amazing, love every bite but tonight when we asked to buy extra ceaser dressing got hassled that we got enough and then when we asked for extra sour cream got told no we don't do that and refused to sell extra sour cream. Also while trying to buy the condiments we bought 2 deserts and and extra salad. Spending $55.00 plus tip and refused condiments doesn't make sense.
One of the best places to eat in Guelph, truly a hidden gem! Amazing staff, comforting atmosphere and the schnitzel is out of this world.
Great food and friendly people . Feels like home and tastes great .
Great food and very friendly owners
Lovely meal. Very tasty. We shared a couple of entrees and it was very nice.
On a Tuesday afternoon in January, we stopped in for a late lunch. The good reviews of 2 different sets of friends encouraged us to try this small restaurant. It is located in an older plaza in a residential area. The food was excellent. It was traditional Polish dishes at their best. The portions were generous and served piping hot. The sides were also ample. Water flavoured with fresh lemons, limes and cucumber is free of charge. A larger dining room and menus rather than ordering at the counter would be nice. However, the friendly service and wonderful food make any complaints seem petty. The total for 2 schnitzels with salads, mashed potatoes, water and 1 piece of pie was $44. We will be back again.
Absolutely fantastic. Wine food atmosphere service amazing. Had the pork schnitzel Caesar salad and pierogs. Will definitely be going be a multi time customer
Wonderful food. Owners are awesome.
Excellent food and service!
Brunch
Loved it, the homemade pierogies were fantastic.
Does not endorse segregation. What a place!
Warm and cosy bistro experience. Excellent place for perogies. If you appreciate high quality home cooked food, you can't go wrong. Authentic Polish food, for a reasonable price.
Came down for dinner from Kitchener. The food was great and worth the wait! The service was incredible and the actual restaurant was cosy and clean. I would definitely recommend eating here.
Took a Polish friend to lunch! The food! The beer! The Deserts! He was impressed !! He should know! Can’t wait for warmer weather to eat outside!
Small family run. Limited menu but good food.
Great service, fair prices, super patio and delicious homemade food
Really good authentic Polish cuisine. Should have arrived sooner then just before closing in order to taste all that they offer, as there was a limited selection because it was so close to closing. What we had was delicious. Pork schnitzel, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, beet and ceasar salad and pierogies were awesome. Next time we will arrive earlier to taste what was sold out.
It was fantastic!
It was my first time ordering and the staff was friendly and helpful. The food is homemade and delicious. I ordered the Schnitzel on a bun and Pierogies and both were absolutely delicious. If you are looking to support a local mom and pop shop I recommend Broken English Bistro!
Very good food, and the services was excellent! I will be coming back again.
Meal type
Good food, clean & updated location. It was smokey inside, but tolerable. The coleslaw was great. Schnitzel on a bun was a hearty size. (You should expect to pay more than grocery-store prices for the take-home frozen food because it's made in-house and not a massive factory with heaps of sodium.)
We had schnitzel. Yumm!
Good food, nice people.
Home cooked and delicious
Quite nice, nice outdoor patio
Amazing food & and awesome service.
Good food friendly service.
Excellent Polish Food. The cabbage rolls were tasty...pork schnitzel was done perfect.. crispy yet tender...Will be back soon to try out the menu.
Great customer service
Wonderful food. Lovely family.
Great food thank you! Will be back
Take out
A wonderful afternoon with friends. Great food!
Delicious and great value! We'll be back.
Taste like homemade but better cause you didn't have to make it.
Hidden gem! This place is clean and the food is amazing if you like Eastern European food, you need to try it!
Food is excellent. Atmosphere is good, and even more importantly the the service and staff are awesome, and friendly!
Excellent Schnitzel here. Way better food than the common pub you see downtown. Food is fresh and high quality. Cozy atmosphere.
Goulash beef with potatoes had good potatoes and their cucumber salad was refreshing.
Great authentic Polish cuisine. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Don't wait too long to go, this place will get popular fast.
Schnitzel is amazing, you won't want to miss out on a meal here
Food was very good. Looking forward to going again when we can eat in.
Authentic home made Polish food
Really good. Quality is excellent.
Really tasty food, busy for Wed at dinner! Now the cooler weather is here avoid sitting by the front door! They have "help wanted" on the door - that's a good sign! Busy place that needs more staff! We'll be back!
Schnitzel, pierogies, cabbage rolls, and delicious salads. Guelph's best kept secret.
Amazing! Couldn't believe we had never gone before.

Great German and polish food
We just had Broken English for dinner with the entire family! My two kids loved it. Hubby had the beef goulash, I had cabbage rolls, kids had schnitzel and pierogies. Everyone was ecstatic with their food. Hubby even asked for a beet salad to go!!
Good Home Made European dishes. If you love shnitzel, pierogies, or Ghoulash you will want to visit Broken English Bistro That is exactly what we ordered and everything looked and tasted like your grandmother made it. Hand made with love, and full of the flavour you expect from a great home made meal. The Schnitzel comes with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a side salad. The Ghoulash also comes with a salad. The Options we chose are beet salad, cole slaw, and cucumber salads. Prices are Very affordable, and the portions are fantastic. You will not go hungry. This is a place that needs to be on your radar for regular take out orders. The people are very friendly and were very appreciative of our business.
One of the best places to get homemade polish food!! Always have a great and delicious selection. Staff is super friendly :) I cant wait to come again.
Lovely "homemade" food, very authentic Polish cuisine. Service was great, and the atmosphere was also really nice. I'll be back.
Very elegant and welcoming place. They provide large portions and for reasonable rates. We liked the meals a lot and the staff members were very personal and explanatory. I recommend this place.
Stopped in for a quick beer. Service was a little slow despite being empty. Food is delicious.
Friendly service and great food at reasonable prices
Delicious food, Big portions, Excellent dining experience,Good prices! Very friendly staff. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed...!!!
Great food tiny place
Delicious authentic polish food at a well run restaurant! My husbands family is polish and The Broken English pierogies we’re just as good as his grandmas (which is saying something)!!! Service was excellent and food is a great value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great meal!!! Also the patio is awesome in the warmer months!
Tasty good good eats
food is delicious but the last couple times the service has been terrible. last time we waiting 20 minutes before someone came and spoke to us. the table beside us walked out because the server went to the table that sat down third before us and another table that had already been waiting ten minutes.... the worst part is since its small you can see the servers for whatever reason ignoring that you its fine well come back for the food just dont expect a tip if youre not going to provide a service, lol from server-server your table should be greeted with-in the first 2 minutes.
Best place for lunch.
