Great people work there. I love this place and definitely recommend it!

It occupies a former synagogue in the hip Kazimierz (Jewish Quarter) section of a city balancing ancient architecture, tragic history, and redemption. It's not the airy tourists traps of the main square and the menu ain't an American coffee shop.

Started with a Zywiec Dark and decided to pair it with the burger as I was craving some "American food" and was blown away then the food arrived! This buyer goes on my top 5 list of all times and a contender for on of the best I've had (and I've eaten a lot of burgers)! Ordered the burger medium and it came out more well done but other than that it was near perfection. Even over done the burger was juicy and full of flavor. Huge fresh bun and topped with lettuce, tomato and pickle my mouth is watering writing the review! My fiancé had the Pappardelle pasta with beef sirloin and if my burger hadn't been so delicious I might have been jealous because this pasta dish was heavenly. If you are looking for a little more upscale dining option and want to veer away from the traditional Polish dishes I recommend checking out Nowa!

The aesthetics and decor were really nice at this restaurant, and there was also an outside eating area. We both ordered the Shrimp Rigatoni. When it arrived, it looked really good, so I was really excited to try it. Unfortunately, the Rigatoni pasta was hard (way too al dente) to be able to enjoy it well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked though. We informed our server about this. He offered to bring another dish out; however, we were only visiting and were in a rush to catch a train after we were finished, so we did not take him up on that offer.

So fresh and the ceviche is served with this amazing soft and chewy bread and sweet potato chips. The potatoes had a awesome creamy sauce under them and were cooked to perfection. They literally melt in your mouth. Our server interacted with us and made great suggestions of where we could go after this place and in the evening.

We chose the full tasting menu with wine pairing, excited to experience what is considered one of the finest culinary destinations in the country. Each course was beautifully presented and packed with incredibly rich flavors, and the wine pairings were thoughtfully selected to complement the dishes. The overall service was warm and professional, although there were a few minor lapses, such as having to ask twice for a water refill. While we are grateful for the opportunity to dine at Poland's only two-Michelin-star restaurant, the experience did not quite meet the expectations we've come to have from other two-star Michelin establishments around the world. It was certainly a memorable evening, but one that left us appreciating the accomplishment more than being truly impressed by the meal itself. Still, it feels special to have checked this remarkable restaurant off our culinary travel list.

Highly recommend this place for groups and for romantic dinners.

It has a Mediterranean-like feel in terms of the interior and this is also reflected in the seasonal menu that keeps changing from time to time. What I appreciate about this place is that I always feel very welcome and taken good care of while dining. The staff are professional and eager to help and communicating in English is not a problem. Aperitif is also an excellent place to organise larger dinner parties (i.e. for 60 people if even more!?) For such occasions they compose really nice menus with a few choices for each course which eases the speed at which everyone makes their order. Everyone wins! The chocolate fondant is an absolute hit by the way- this alone is worth the visit!
