Our group had a G&T, Prosecco , French 75 and a Negroni. All made well but did take awhile to come out. We also ordered some carbs ! Fries and their traditional mushroom Zapikanki, which translates to mushroom casserole. Even though it comes on bread! This is delicious ! Creamy buttery mushrooms with cheese and greens in top. Yum. Nice thick cut fries too. Glad we checked this place out. It was a little loud and the device a little slow. Definitely a happening place though !

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!

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. Inside the place is beautifully decorated, classy place. Really nice bar inside too. Located in the busy Plac Nowly area it was a great little pit stop in our day.

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.

We did the wine pairing as well which was okay (not as great as the Italian wine pairing at the 3 star). Alcohol: Negroni was very good. Ambiance: cool, rustic. We sat by the kitchen which was cool to watch the dishes come out. Service: attentive, but not as great as the 3 star. Did a good job explaining the dishes.

Nobody complained about their food. The dessert was an interesting setup of what looks like an eggs nest. At first we thought, how can I eat this? Turned out to be sweet and really nice. Highly recommend this place for groups and for romantic dinners.

This now well known hipster hood is blowing up with restaurants. Duźy Pokój is the corner restaurant with the great fortune of having ample seating inside and outside on the patio. A new place that wasn't on Yelp, I chose to check it out after another recommendation fell through. This well lit, intimate dining spot had a wide variety of menu items. From borscht to mussels, to venison. We had a real difficulty deciding how to pair the food and drink. So many options. Choosing a nice port it was easy to just roll on from there. The chosen appetizers were seafood, the prawns well preserved with little odor came to our table and were pretty much devoured on sight. I had one tail to head, sucking out the juices trying not to splatter. Little slices of garlic bread made it even better. The three color pasta dish was flavorful and cheesy. A big bowl of pasta with a little kick. It was a hit at our table. The small bowl of bouillabaisse made it to our table reminding us of a "caldo de siete mares." Full of little creatures and pieces of fish it was great on the palate. Red sauce with a some more port was delectable. Finally, the venison steak accompanied by barley, beet and fresh oiled greens, and cranberry reduction sauce was amazing! Pepper corns kept popping in my mouth the rest of the night. Not too gamey, but well seasoned it fell apart in my mouth. This little place deserves honorable mention after preparing such well prepared meals. The circus leaves it great for small groups, but the waitstaff was very courteous. English could have been better, but hey you're in Poland. C'mon get with the program non-multilingual foreigners, lol! Overall, a great place to have an intimate dinner and drink in the heart of the Jewish district.

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!
