A place not to visit, not even for shisha: Alanya Cafe & Bar (13. January 2023)
I was looking for a place, which would serve shisha. And it turned out to be quite a tricky endeavour. Either, it would be a pseudo-fancy place where you could only get a shisha if you were buying a bottle of hard liquor, or then it would be something like this. The Alanya Cafe & […]
Okayish Italian food in central Poland: Restaurant Spacca Napoli (13. January 2023)
I was told a few times I should try the Spacca Napoli since the place – apparently – serves authentic Italian food. Usually, I would have gone for something authentic Polish, but due to laziness, I wasn’t able to find anything at short notice. Hence, I ended up here. And let’s put it that way. […]
When it’s way too crowded and nobody is wearing a mask: Breakfast Restaurant @ Radisson Hotel & Suites (5. September 2021)
When you stay at the Radisson Hotel & Suites you can always hope to be upgraded to a suite as I was lucky. The rooms are generous and modern which makes the stay a pleasant one. When it comes the breakfast, my impressions are torn. The place is relatively big and the selection of dishes […]
An interesting menu with a cocktail pairing: Restaurant Eliksir (4. September 2021)
My experience at the Eliksir is somewhat twofold – on the one hand side, it was an interesting and lovely experience. On the other hand side, there was quite some side hassle involved. But let’s start with first things first. The Eliksir is located quite a bit outside of Gdansk (like 15-20′ cab ride) but […]
When people queue in line for over an hour to eat perogi: Restaurant Pierogarnia Mandu (4. September 2021)
Since pierogi are one of the typical Polish dishes, we decided to try one of the most recommended places in town and went for the Pierogarnia Mandu and were super lucky since we were queuing literally 30 seconds. The picture changed over time quite a bit. In any case, once we were placed, we were […]
A place with a lot of potential but not quite there yet: Restaurant Fino (3. September 2021)
The Fino was recommended to me so it was time to give it a try. The evening started with an “amuse bouche” which was nice but quite a portion. But definitely good to get started After having placed our order, we were served “fennel bread and sourdough bread”. While I did not try the sourdough, […]
Absolutely exquisite lunch experience with flawless service: Restaurant Corrèze (3. September 2021)
The Corrèze showed up on our list when we were looking for something to eat for lunch – and since it was a bit late for lunch (around 2.30/3.00pm), it wasn’t entirely easy to find a place which would still serve food. Luckily, we found the Corrèze and were taken care of very well by […]
Decent breakfast but used to be better: Restaurant Marconi @ Hotel Bristol (29. January 2017)
It is more than a year ago since I have had breakfast at the Restaurant Marconi at the Hotel Bristol in Warsaw – and some things have changed. While the layout and design of the main breakfast area have improved (it actually looks nicer and more organized), they have moved the buffet to a separate […]
