As this was my first trip to Warsaw, Poland, my colleagues planned some events for me to have a great Polish experience. As part of that, they made reservations for us to have dinner at the oldest restaurant in Warsaw, Ufukiera. Upon entering this restaurant, I was intrigued by the traditional decor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The server led us to our table and gave us a few minutes to decide what we wanted to order. There were so many things to choose from that I could not decide. Finally, I asked the server for some recommendations. He was very helpful in answering my questions and suggesting some entrées based on my diet. We ordered a few appetizers and a few entrées. The portions of everything were a good size so we got full pretty quickly. I ordered some asparagus and risotto. All dishes were enjoyable and flavorful. The combination of the good food and the atmospheric experience made this a fantastic gathering. I am happy that I was able to have this experience with my son and my colleagues during my trip. read more

I had to try a Michelin star place during my business trip in Poland. My colleague took me on a quick tour around old town and this place was in the center so we decided to eat here! The seared foie gras had a bitter taste to it but I still really enjoyed the textured. We had all the variety of piorgis! I was so excited to be able to try all of them! The fried pork chop was HUGE, it was 2x my head we couldn't finish this at all. We also had the risotto, which was good! I'm amazed how affordable this meal was compared to the states. It came out to be $90 for two people! We were beyond stuffed and my coworker took the leftovers home. read more

We were initially told that there's a table for us in 15 minutes and while we were waiting, one of their customers (white man in his 50s) started harassing us by touching our arms (we're a group of Asian women) and repeatedly asking "Where are you from?" when we were clearly not a fan of that question. After we said we were from London, this person then repeatedly asked us "where are you really from before London?" This is the sort of racist question that is intolerable to us and when we eventually told this person to back off (strong version), the restaurant supported his action by kicking us out. The restaurant failed to stop his harassment and failed to understand that this was a problematic behaviour even after we explained to them. Would discourage any non-white person from visiting there given this racist behaviour. read more

We (3 of us) ventured into the square to see "Syrenka", the symbol of Warsaw, and all of a sudden we all felt a bit peckish. Looking around, U Fukiera stood out. It had once received a Michelin star, had beautiful entrance clad with seasonal flowers, and a reasonable menu. We sat inside, but outside in a small courtyard. Lovely. All tables had crisp white table cloths and cloth napkins. The table settings were lovely inside. Our waiter was friendly, chill, and knew how to recommend the menu. We ordered starters and drinks. The starters are substantial - like, a whole meal substantial. 3 starters filled us up to the rim, and I did not even have the pierogi (not GF). The herring was very good. The chanterelles in sauce were delicious - in season right now, and very well prepared. Drinks were good. Music was horrible. Please consider something TOTALLY different. Good for groups, romantic dates, and in-between snacks alike. read more

Such a lovely experience! They had a delicious mushroom risotto when I was there and they served each plate with beautiful flowers. Our waiter Walentin was exceptionally welcoming, and my grandma even complemented his smile at the end of our dinner. read more

So so good. We split the duck done to perfection. Crispy skin and enough. The ambience is just delightful all around. Such a sweet and accommodating waiter(who was also a tennis pro) staff and service. We got lucky to see the owner who sat beside us and apparently is a little more than famous in Poland for cleaning up the restaurant industry. Like Gordon Ramsey. Just marvelous. Yum read more

The food at this place is delicious! Prob the best veal cutlet I've ever had in my life. The potatoes were so crispy and buttery as well, and the mizeria salad was very refreshing. Friendly staff, great bread and dip for the table. Old school ambiance and a lovely dinner.. would recommend to go here to try some local cuisine! PS. Portions are insane! One main dish is more than enough for two people.. read more

U Fukiera is located right on the main market square of Warsaw's Old Town, a playground for tourists. Usually, a restaurant like this wouldn't be high on my list of places to visit, but I must say.. the atmosphere of U Fukiera is by far the most beautiful of any restaurant I've ever visited so far! The romantic setting is decked with candles, antiques, mirrors, chandeliers, tablecloths--I even saw a parrot sitting in a cage! And despite this place being a "splurge" by Polish standards, it's still an absolute steal for Western European or American standards! After starting with some bread and extremely airy, whipped butter, we moved right into our main courses. I had the whole trout, which had been marinated in a dill cucumber brine, stuffed with pickles, and baked in pastry. It was served with two baked potatoes on the side, and though the fish was quite bony, it made for a delicious seafood option. We also got the half duck roasted Polish style--this was a HUGE portion that was more than enough to share--the duck was extremely tender and flavorful, and on the bottom sat a thick gravy that added a lot of flavor to the already meaty, flavorful poultry. In the bowl also came a baked Antonov apple, which had been cored and stuffed with a jam-like filling; there were also three pieces of what tasted like fried gnocchi--chewy dumplings made from potato! Yes, the food here was definitely good, but if for nothing else, come see the romantic setting that U Fukiera has to offer--order right, and you won't even have to walk away with a "splurge" restaurant bill! read more

Located in old town of Warsaw, walkable from our hotel, this place is highly recommended for it is very approachable for Americans. Apparently lots of Americans have visited here which is a plus because we wanted something that the kids will enjoy. I have been effectively on the road for months, traveling south and north of China, and then Cambodia before hitting the plane to Warsaw, I was a bit delirious at this point so imagine my surprise when they presented me with a menu that rocked my world. It has all sorts of "weird" dishes. For instance, tripe soup. fried kidneys. varies meat dumplings. local beef tartare. Imagine that I'm in food heaven. This restaurant hits the spot. I had the local beef tartare which is simply divine. The tripe soup is somewhat similar to the ones I had in Swabia, Germany. Stuttgart has a version of it which is amazing and this is similar which I was happy about. Finally the fried kidney is the best I've ever had. The kids had lots of fish and dumplings. I had so much dumplings that I couldn't finish and I had to take some home. We sat at the courtyard which was lovely. I loved everything about this restaurant and would recommend others to check it out when in Warsaw. Very inexpensive for Americans. read more

Stroke of pure luck. This restaurant was advertised in the Lot Airlines magazine and located close to our hotel. One of the best meals in 30 odd years of travel. The food, wine and the after-dinner cognac were first rate. The atmosphere changes from room to room. We were seated in the red room. It was fabulous. Service was excellent. A dinner for three with starters and a great bottle of red was less than an average meal stateside. But the food..... DAMN! The Polish steak tartare is not to be missed. The lamb chops were PERFECT. The goulash was amazing. A great dining experience. Not to be missed when in town. read more

I read mixed reviews on Fukier. I had made reservations months before visiting Poland, and I actually considered canceling our reservations after reading some negative reviews on google maps and trip advisor. I'm glad I did not. Great food and great service. Additionally, prices are not high. They may be high for Poland, but they are very reasonable for a large city (we live near Tokyo). Our entire meal, (3 people), a bottle of wine and appetizer cost us less than $200 (equivalent). The Lithuanian dumpling appetizer was delicious! (Try with the butter). Our entrees consisted of the breaded veal fillet, lamb chops, and duck breast. All were perfect and delicious. Our server was very attentive. The decor was interesting. And the Old Town is right out the door. I say, "go!" read more

CHARMING!! The only thing that comes to mind about this place. It is located in the middle of the touristic squares in old town. The dark and antique decor alone draws you in. I personally panic in cluttered environments, but this place was just too adorable. The food was surprisingly good as well. The pierogi were the best we've had in Poland this far. The lamb chops were tasty, but the stand out of the night were the lobster crepes on the savory side and the hazelnut waltz cake. Made for a very enjoyable experience read more

U Fukiera is a fancy restaurant on the Main Square in the Old Town. It's run by a celebrity restaurateur. As can be expected, it's rather pricey--not insanely so though. The food is old-school Polish: meat, fish, and games in large quantity. I had the pork cutlet. In the menu it was described as "monstrous". And indeed it was. I don't know from what mutant hog they cut out such a huge chunk of meat. While the quality of the food is beyond reproach, I can't say that I enjoyed the atmosphere here. The decor of U Fukiera is comically gaudy. Baroque might be the word I'm looking for. It feels like the residency of some old hag jilted at the altar. Likewise, the wait staff exhibits the sternness of an eccentric spinster's butler. It all felt a bit odd to me. Very "Old Europe". read more

This is a well known establishment with a beautiful presentation, great quality of ingredients and lovely service. The food is traditional polish cuisine, but with an elegant vibe. Great selection on the menu and it is lovely to introduce foreign guests to polish food with an ambience and sophistication. Beautiful. read more

Very traditional Polish restaurant - makes you feel like your visiting grandma for dinner: lace, fake flowers, bird cage (including bird), lots of wood, etc. A nice menu, albeit pricey. The herring was amazing served with pickled cucumbers. The house cured meats was very generous. The veal pierogis served with crispy pork rind were overstuffed, moist and tasty. The sour mushroom soup with white sausage was delicious! It's right on the main square in the center of old town, so very convenient and not at all touristy! Service was very dry, almost unfriendly (minus 1 star). read more

Based on some other reviews I was iffy about this place. First off, if you're some kind of business people that are used to a more generic environment when you eat you will not like the decor. If you have any appreciation for vintage and antique items, you're going to love it. The collection is wonderful and well staged. Next for food. I ordered the foie gras starter and the duck breast main course. Both where excellent. I order foie gras any time I see it on any menu, so I've had it prepared MANY different ways. This was in my top two. It's savory and sweet and the texture mix really did it. It's also the largest portion of meat I've ever been served. The duck breast was equally well prepared and delicious. The service was attentive without being annoying. Go here! Really, it's lovely. read more

This is one of your best options if you're looking for a venue that harks back to the olden days, and its location on the Old Town Square certainly adds to the appeal. A fin-de-siecle decor sets the tone, with thick velvet curtains and plenty of tastefully chosen antiques. As you might imagine, you'll have to pay correspondingly aristocratic prices. However, its a reliable choice, with excellent traditional Polish cuisine. Popular with visiting dignitaries. read more

We really enjoyed this place. We ate here twice while we were in Warsaw. Each time we got the mushrooms to start. They were just so so good. We tried them both with olive oil and garlic and with cream sauce. My husband loved the lamb and I loved the Zander. Also the typical polish soup there is very good. Those would definitely be the things I would recommend. Very very romantic setting as well. Try to get a seat on the terrace. Also try to read what the menu says about the history of the place too. Very interesting. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with nice ambience perfect for a date. The food was decent but over priced for what you're getting. Also, I really didn't appreciate the host lying to me... "Oh, you have no reservation? Okay, I can seat you but with time limit until 8 (it was 6)". I left at 7:45 and the restaurant was only 10% full. I had the Lithuanian dumplings (good flavor but over salted for me) and the grilled duck breast which was cooked perfectly but could have used more seasoning. read more

Higher cuisine, but not the highest quality. Nice and romantic atmosphere and also fitting for business dinner with your best customers or partners. I would recommend it but be aware, it is pricy. Polish food - very heavy but tasty. Tries to be a place for upper class customers. read more

There were formerly 5 restaurants with cellars in the Old Town square. U Fukiera is the last one remaining. The cuisine is Polish food at its best and the service was several notches better than in many Polish restaurants. Every dish we had was better than "good" - the kitchen was having a very good evening for us. We had the roasted Goose and the Zanker (pike) - both were made with great ingredients, well cooked with good flavors all around. We very much enjoyed the meal. It was a bit pricey for Poland, but had 2 glasses of champagne and a bottle of wine along with 3 courses. read more
