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 […]
Amazing meat in a place you’d not expect it: Restauracja Hoża (28. January 2017)
When I thought of Poland, I was not necessarily associating it with great meat – but it turns out, there is actually great meat. I went for the “chopped sirloin tatar, with semi-pickled cucumber, shallot and chanterelle and mustard dressing” (37 PLN) as a starter. And I was super positively surprised. The plate did not […]
Cod fish and chips – rather special: The Alchemist Gastropub (28. January 2017)
The restaurant is ranked quite good on TripAdvisor, so I was expecting quite something but I was, frankly speaking, slightly disappointed by the food selection. I went for the “posh fish & chips (crispy battered North Atlantic fresh cod fillet, fries, tartar sauce, mushy peas)” (36 PLN). The fish itself was fine as the dish […]
14. July 2015: Restaurant Kultura
As a last experience in Poland for this trip, I went again for the classical “dumplings with veal and forest mushrooms with sage butter” (29 PLN) and while I was a bit sceptical from the previous experience, I must admit that these dumplings were actually great. I think the sage butter helped a lot there […]
14. July 2015: Cafe Zamek
What you get at the Cafe Zamek is not really why you should come here – but there is a very good reason why you should come here. The place allows you to watch over a marvelous park. Somehow located close to the patio of this former castle, you get cheap drinks (i.e. mineral water, […]
13. July 2015: Restaurant U Fukiera
When I had been to Poland, respectively Warsaw, last time, I was not aware of the existence of this restaurant. However, this place is located supercentrally at Warsaw’s main square. You would not really go in as from outside it looks like one of these places which rip off tourists. But you actually should go […]
12. July 2015: Restaurant Boruta
Dumplings are really a Polish thing and I must admit that generally speaking they are actually quite tasty. That’s why I went for the “plate of mixed dumplings (meat, cabbage and mushrooms, cheese, buckwheat and cheese) 8 pieces, 280gr” (22 PLN). I liked that they are all of different taste, respectively you get two of […]
12. July 2015: Restaurant Marconi @ Hotel Bristol
Breakfast at the Restaurant Marconi in the Hotel Bristol hasn’t changeda bit since I have been here last time. The selection is still pretty exhaustive … … ranging from a variety of breads, juices, and smoothies … … to spreads, salmon … … pickled stuff, vegetables, cold cuts … … various cheeses … … fresh […]
