A solid steakhouse experience in central Warsaw: Restaurant Butchery & Wine (15. January 2023)
It was time for a last meal in Warsaw, so I went for something more classical, a steakhouse! Since it was my only main meal, I decided again to try quite a bit, and started with the “baby gem salad with anchovies dressing and Parmesan” (29 PLN), which was quite nice, especially, since the Parmesan […]
Quite an interesting experience to pair vodka with your dishes: Restaurant ELIXIR by Dom Wódki (14. January 2023)
It wasn’t easy to find something, which sounded quite appealing and there was no Michelin starred restaurant in Warsaw, so I had to check a place where I would find something, which was surprising, and the Elixir by Dom Wódki sounded promising, since the pairing they offered to each of the dishes was vodka-based! To […]
Still the best place for breakfast in Warsaw: Restaurant Marconi @ Hotel Bristol, A Luxury Collection (14. January 2023)
It was somewhat funny – returning to the same breakfast place after almost 6 years. And it turns out the place looks exactly the same (or at least compared to what I remember). The Marconi is quite nice in terms of interior design, the service is professional, and the food selection is more than decent. […]
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. […]
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 […]
