Bar mleczny

Common card · No. 275705

A bar mleczny (literally "milk bar" in Polish) is a Polish cafeteria which offers nutritious meals, usually traditional Polish cuisine at low cost. Although the idea of this type of establishment has its beginnings in late 19th and early 20th century, it was popularised and developed in the Second Polish Republic in the interwar period, and after the war in the People's Republic of Poland. Similar bars were opened in other countries, including Great Britain and United States, also called 'milk bars' and often offering the same idea: cheap and nutritious meals based on cheap ingredients like milk.
