"Mal etwas außergewöhnliches! „Bei Emil“ wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie ein Vereinslokal am Fußballplatz, ist es auch, entpuppt sich aber als gemütlicher, rustikaler Treffpunkt mit polnischer Küche mitten in Hannover. Wir saßen bei bestem Wetter auf der Terrasse direkt am Spielfeldrand – eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Die Wirtsleute sind unglaublich herzlich, erklären die traditionellen Gerichte und sorgen dafür, dass man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Die Pierogi – ob mit Käse oder Fleisch – waren locker, fluffig und einfach köstlich. Auch das Nationalgericht Bigos hat uns begeistert. Hier stimmt einfach alles: authentisches Essen, freundliche Gastgeber und ein Ambiente, das überrascht. Absolut empfehlenswert! Schade, es ist nicht immer geöffnet, wir waren am Samstag den 20. September da, es gab nur schnöde Bratwurst aus einer Grillbude."

"Wenn Du gut und günstig essen möchtest bist Du bei Emil genau richtig. Wenige Gehminuten von den Herrenhäuser Gärten entfernt und die bessere Wahl anstatt der Gastronomie in den Herrenhäusern Gärten. Nur Barzahlung."
