If it’s German and Polish cuisine you seek, look no further than J. Betski’s in North Carolina’s capital city. The Eastern European and German food here is, by far, the best around. The delicious fare is heavily influenced by the owner/chef’s German and Polish heritage that shines through in every single bite – including the delightful pierogi that are made from scratch and are featured in a variety of options.
For starters, the appetizer menu at lunch and at dinner includes cheese and potato pierogi. The trio of dumplings is perfect for getting any meal off to a flavorful start.
And dining at J. Betski's is a charming experience. The restaurant seating area is just the right size for an intimate meal. Or, sit outside on the patio to enjoy dining in the open air.
As in Eastern Europe, many of the entrees are served with pierogi and J. Betski's turns the experience into a taste sensation. Seen here: a daily special featuring scallops and lump crab pierogi.
Seasonal specials, like the Venison Goulash Meatballs with Pierogi, make visiting J. Betski's a culinary adventure, no matter when you visit. But the regular menu is also a delight.
Be sure to try the schnitzel! Pork schnitzel is on the daily dinner menu and is served with Austrian potato and dill-cucumber salads and lingonberries. Pictured here: the schnitzel with authentic bigos and spätzle accompaniments.
Dessert is also a must when you dine at this authentic Polish/German restaurant. From strudel to torte and more (including the German chocolate donut seen here), you're sure to find something decadent that you're not willing to share.
