A simple but lovely seafood restaurant setup like an American diner: Restaurant Papryjkarz (24. January 2026)
I didn’t quite know what to have as a starter, so, I decided to go for the dish which had the name of the restaurant. The “Paprykarz (smocked mackerel, rice, tomatoes, vegetables, pima pepper)” (29 PLN) was some kind of tartar (type) mackerel dish, which you’d put on bread. Frankly, it was quite fine, but it […]
A surprisingly decent ramen option where you’d not expect it: Restaurant Ramenshop Bulwary (24. January 2026)
The Ramenshop Bulwary isn’t necessarily located in a place where you’d walk by accidentally. However, given I was looking for a ramen place, I found this restaurant. There was only one waitress who spoke English who was truly friendly. However, the other one – when approaching her and I wasn’t aware she doesn’t speak English […]
Decent place to have breakfast if you’re staying here anyways: Restaurant Kino @ Courtyard by Marriott Szczecin City (24. January 2026)
The breakfast selection at the Courtyard by Marriott Szczecin City is quite decent and definitely better than expected – it ranges from jams to fresh juices … … a bunch of vegetables as well as typical Polish spreads … … cold cuts and cheese … … the typical egg and bacon … … as well […]
A lovely Korean dining experience – with Polish-only menus: Restaurant Oh My Kimchi (23. January 2026)
Frankly, I’m happy that apps like Google Translate exist as else it would have been impossible to identify the type of food, which the Oh My Kimchi serves. After figuring it out with the translation app, I started with the “Yukhoe beef tartar (home-made Japanese milk bread with beef, gochujang, nashi pear, and pine nuts)” […]
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 & […]
