I came directly from Gdansk in a delayed train so I rushed straight here to make my reservation. With my roller luggage and all. They thankfully had a convenient coat check where they were able to store my luggage. Now as for the food, wow on all fronts. I ordered the Chicken Soup, Marinated Herring, Steak Tartare, Lamb Shank and a Meringue Pie. I just had to try everything! And sure glad I did. I don't usually like lamb but this dish came highly recommended. Ive only liked lamb on a few occasions so it was a gamble and in this rare situation, I won. The gaminess of the lamb was very subtle and the flavor combined with the potato puree and marinade was delicious. The steak tartare was prepared table side and the chef asks if you want it normal, mild, or spicy. I opted for spicy which I felt wasn't any spice but nonetheless, a very tasty steak tartare. The marinated herring was so enjoyable as well. The fish was tender and the citrus profile of the sauce was a fantastic complement to the dish. The Chicken Soup was as good as chicken soup could be. Warm and savory. And finally the dessert. The fluffy meringue pie was very good as well but after a few bites, the sweetness got to me. Still a good dish though but more geared towards those with a real sweet tooth.

We were lucky enough to get sat at a table pretty quickly but it was kinda in the middle of where the waiters were passing and the table was small. Which I'm not complaining at all. I was just happy they were able to accommodate us. The tables have an actual candle giving it a very romantic vibe. Our waiter was extremely nice and made us feel very welcomed. After taking our order he came over with a plate of complimentary sauerkraut and pickles. The pickles were extremely crisp and had an incredible mustardy flavor. The sauerkraut was also very fresh and could be eaten all by itself. The food came shortly after. We got a bowl of zurek soup in a pot and it was amazing. The soup had a beautiful almost citrusy taste with sausage and egg. We also got the pork knuckle that comes fried with a salad, french fries and a basket of bread. It's also served with sauerkraut plus horseradish and mustard to dip. Honestly the pork knuckle was so flavorful I didn't feel the sauces were necessary. It is huge!! I recommend getting the smaller size because the waiter offered us 2 sizes and I mistakenly went for the larger one. We couldn't finish all of it! But the food is amazing! There was also some musicians that walked in playing some music which was really nice. They walked around the restaurant. We also go their homemade lemon vodka and it was delicious. It was almost frosted and really refreshing. When we were walking out the door, we were shocked with the crowd of people waiting to get inside. So definitely make your reservations!!

The restaurant is very cozy and tucked on Emily Plater street. We did not have reservation, and visited during lunch hours, but seating outside was not problem. However we were advised that reservation is usually needed. Staff was very nice and accommodated us immediately. The menu is short with some polish classics deconstructed in some way. We had : Tartare--it is a Polish staple and I must admit I can put it on my top list. Very delicate, brilliantly combined with all the toppings. You can feel the quality of the meat on the first bite. Marinated Herring--with soured milk was another delicious dish that made our experience a pleasure one. Served on baked potatoes were a great starter without argument. Sour Cucumber Soup--another dish famous for Polish cuisine. Nice deconstruction with horseradish and smoked trout was very interesting. Deer Pate--served with young beets, currants, home mayo and bread, served with homemade bread. All the good things ready to spread on the fresh bread. They also have good selection of wine and craft local beers. I wish we could try more menu items and I believe they would be as good as everything that we had tried. I am happy that I could try your food Mr. Andrzej Polan. Od samego poczatku chcielismy odwiedzic to miejsce podczas pobytu w Warszawie.

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.

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.
