Simple, ok taste, functional. In the main dinning room they probably have 10-12 tables of 2-4 people. Additionally they have a private room for events who can probably accommodate around 20-25 people. The service is good, but do not expect white globe. Our waitress was very young and did not knew the menu. Nevertheless he was attentive and willing to help. The older guys were knowledgeable but slightly arrogant. We have a questions regarding wine and he raised his voice to answer that it was what they offered. Not what you expect from a quality restaurant. Food was exquisite. We had fresh salad with goat cheese for starter, followed by steam sea bass for me and a steak for my husband. Both were excellent, cooked to perfection and juicy. Nothing from the dessert menu grabbed our attention so we skipped it. Food prices are reasonable considering the quality. Nevertheless beverage prices are quite exaggerated. A glass of very average wine was ~40zl per glass and 200zl per bottle. Quite above market average and nothing special. They do have very good quality wine, do expect to pay +4-5x its value. Overall, I would recommend if you want to enjoy excellent food and ok service.

First, the late evening visit for dinner was cool b/c it was not busy and I was seated outside. I love the garden /patio feel to the restaurant. Inside, if you prefer to sit, there is a large restaurant setup, very comfy with an open kitchen, visible to pretty much everyone in the restaurant on the first and second floor. The food was exceptional. It was my first night in Warsaw and wanted to experience a modern take on tPolish dishes. The cold beet soup, beet greens with a quail egg was super delicious. The schnitzel was excellent and it came with unforgettable mashed potatoes and a cold cucumber, yogurt and dill salad. I also tried red Polish wine, a Cabernet. And that too was also very good. Service was super attentive granted I came at 10 o'clock in the evening on a weeknight, and English was spoken fluently by everyone I dealt with. This is a converted factory space , it is in the middle of an island of businesses, so your Uber driver will pick you up about 200 feet to the left of the restaurant as you walk out. Definitely will come back, on my next visit to Warsaw. End of Yelp.

My wife, daughter and I had a nice lunch at Warszawa Wschodnia during our recent trip to Warsaw…read more The food was excellent but the highlight was our delicious but unexpected borscht. We Ubered to the restaurant to walk afterward around the revitalized Praga District. The other clientele looked like trendy office workers so the staff was moving quickly to service the lunch hour crowd. The server asked us if we wanted the regular menu or "the lunch menu". It was lunchtime so we asked for "the lunch menu". We expected the server to return with a menu with lunchtime options - but instead less than a minute later the borscht arrived. It turns out "the lunch menu" was a 3-course prix fixe option and borscht was the 1st dish. We probably wouldn't all have ordered it had we understood but it was delicious with a beautiful beet red color and a pleasantly sour flavor. The main was a nice pasta with salmon and the dessert was an excellent pastry. We sat on the patio which was lovely. Very comfortable. Great restaurant with excellent food. In particular we loved our accidental borscht!

First thing you notice is the ambiance; I was seated outside in their courtyard, which is a secluded oasis tucked away from the street. Service was friendly but relaxed. I started with a glass of wine and the herring nigiri appetizer. Prior to coming here, I was pretty unfamiliar with the cuisine of Poland and surrounds, so the herring was a fully new type of flavor for me. The presentation was beautiful, the type of dish inventive, and the flavors themselves delicious and well- balanced. My second dish, the cauliflower, was very creatively prepared and was also delicious, if unfortunately slightly on the saltier side. I ended with the scallop ceviche risotto. WOW. This is the BEST risotto I have ever had. It's hard to describe; the interplay between the flavors was unmatched - and all the ingredients were as fresh as can be. I still dream of this risotto to this day.

For a weeknight, they were packed! Also, the entrance is tucked away from the main street. Look for and follow the sign to lead you to the entrance. The first thing you see as you entered the restaurant is bottles and bottles of wine on the shelves. I really can't tell you the overall space because I felt like I went from one room to another, pass the kitchen, through another room and was seated in a small room with about 6 or 7 tables. It's almost like a maze. I can tell most of the patron are locals. Friends meeting after work for drinks and a quick bite to eat. I know I'm in the right place :-) The menu is small and seasonal with the intention to order/taste every dish because the portion is small too. We started off with Bulion, which is a broth soup with duck dumplings. It was delicious and savory. The ginger in the broth soup warmed my stomach. It was exactly what I needed for our first night in Warsaw. According to other yelpers, we have to order the beef tartare. I'm not big on raw beef but it tasted better than I expected. The beef tartare is served on top of potato pancake. The potato sort of mellow out the raw meat taste. Great presentation! Chicken Liver Parfait served on a buttermilk bread was probably my favorite dish. I know liver is not for the faint of heart, but when it's done right, it's chef kiss! Chicken liver is incredibly good for us and a nutrient-dense superfood packed with protein and vitamins. I wish I can see more dishes like this served in the states. Foie Gras sales and production is strictly restricted in most states. We just have to try it whenever we are in Europe. YOLO! It's rich and buttery and served on a even more buttery brioche. Very filling. Skrei was a fish dish that we should of skipped. It was served on a big pile of foam and herbs with very little fish (see pic.). It's something I expect at a high end 13 course tasting menu, not at a wine bar. We each had a glass of Badenhorst Family White Wine. It wasn't the best I had but it works for the occasion. Tips: Service is slow and that's just how the European roll. Be patience and enjoy the view and take in the moment that you're in Poland! They charge for water and 10% service charge.

You've got a quaint little spot that's tight but right--like the perfect pair of boots. The atmosphere? It's cozy, with a dash of refinement, where aged meats sit in their little "time machines," giving you a peek at the craftsmanship that goes into each bite. And speakin' of bites, those dumplings stuffed with oxtail? Well, I reckon you could set down your knife and fork and just grab 'em with your hands, because they're that good. A whole mess of flavor wrapped in delicate dough--pure comfort with a gourmet twist. Now, the Polish beef--well, bless its heart--aged 90 days and served with a peppercorn sauce that's a little bit regular, a little bit hard-hitting. Roasted garlic alongside it? Well, you've got yourself a party. You could say it's a flavor symphony, but I'm more inclined to call it a masterpiece, painted with a little bit of heat and a whole lot of love. And don't you dare skip the Spanish Padron peppers. They're roasted just right, bringing a bit of the Mediterranean to Warsaw. If you ask me, they're like the secret song on an album--unexpected, but the kind of flavor that sticks with you long after the meal's over. Now, if you think this place isn't impressive enough, let me tell you--this restaurant holds its own against *Casa Escobar* in Antigua, Guatemala. And that, my friend, is a mighty fine compliment. As for dessert, well, when you close out with sticky toffee pudding and a 20-year-old Graham's tawny port, it's not just dessert, it's an experience. A sweet note to end on, like a perfect evening under the stars. I'll tell you one thing: this night in Warsaw will be one I'll remember fondly--like a slow dance with a glass of something smooth and a plate of something even smoother.

Menu is written on the wall and specials are changed constantly. House wine is quite tasty and other drinks are more elderly priced. Unfortunately I would have to give a two-star due the service and waiting time. It took about 45min to get water and drinks, an additional 30min for the appetizers to come and, it was not until two hours after arrival when finally our main dish arrived. The waitress was respectful but did not apologize nor explain the reason behind the delay. We asked and she said "oh yeah... Your food is waiting in the kitchen" ... really? In general, if you have 2-3 hrs to spare and you want quality food you can give it a try. If you are too hungry do not dare. In summary: Ambience - good Location - excellent Flavor - delicious Food quality - very good Service - not good Waiting time - terrible :(

Na chwilę obecną nie ma jeszcze licencji, ale kieliszek wina stołowego jest do zdobycia;-). Zamówiłyśmy z koleżanką 2 przystawkowe jedzenia - grzanki z foie gras oraz pieczone warzywa z kozim serem. Na poczekanie dostałyśmy pieczywo z oliwą. Jedzenie jest smaczne, ciekawe, bezpretensjonalne, na deser mój ulubiony creme brule, który zdecydowanie wybija się ponad warszawską średnią, a do tego 2 kieliszki nieoficjalnego wina;). Całość w bardzo przyzwoitej jak na tą lokalizację cenie - 59pln. Menu wypisane na czarnej tablicy, menu drukowanego jeszcze nie ma, ale pani nas obsługująca byłą bardzo sympatyczna i pomocna - zarówno w temacie wyboru jedzenia jak i obsługi przez cały wieczór - siedziałyśmy na górze i ani przez chwilę nie czułyśmy się ani zaniedbane ani umęczone pytaniami o to, czy nam smakuje;-). Przez wejściem znajduje się chwilowo zaśnieżony stolik, który tworzy bajkowy klimat i jest zapowiedzią miłych warunków do jedzenia na zewnątrz w lecie. 4 gwiazdki, ponieważ jeszcze za mało zjadłam ;-),ale jestem pewna, że będzie 5;) Bistro la cocotte is located close to Plac Zbawiciela, but it has its unique, French not hipsterish;-) atmosphere. It has 2 floors but is cosy and warm inside. As soon as you enter it you will smell and feel like you are in French bistro. On the day of our visit it was not possible to pay with card but this will be solved soon and btw they were ok with us going to ATM to pay only after we ate and ATM is just 1 minute away. They still cannot sell alcohol but we were offered glass of house white wine . WE got 2 starters - toasts with foie gras and baked vegetables with goat cheese. For waiting time we got bread and olive oil. Food was tasty, simple but full of flavor and really as it should be or even better;-). I got crème brule as my favorite dessert and this was above Warsaw average. It was really good value for money as for these 2 starters, crème brule and 2 glasses of wine we paid 59pln. Menu so far is written on the blackboard without printed copies, but the waitress was really helpful with making our decision. She was also really caring - not too neglecting but also not asking too many questions and coming too many times to check how we are;-). There is a table outside which looks like from fairy tale in this winter surrounding, but it is also a promise of nice atmosphere in summer - sounds like there is a really good new place on warsaw informal dining map :) . 4 stars cause I didn't check main menu
