It is known that visitors, who would not come across a free table during lunch, bribed the waiters so they try to find place for them. The most beautiful memories of our parents and grandparents are known to be from Polet’s dance parties until late in the evening, and portions of hot sprats to take away. Today, Polet restaurant successfully nurtures this tradition in the spirit of the modern day.
