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.

The menu was also extensive with everything from burgers to more traditional Polish fare. My wife and I decided to go with the potato pancakes with her having the spinach and blue cheese while I had the spicy beef. Let me say that it's title (translated to English) does not do it justice as the potato pancake was in fact a deliciously crisp and tasty potato rostie loaded with our selected toppings. We had a beer and a few glasses of wine to go with the meal and al up the bill was under $40 - great value.

Kind of reflective of the vibe of the restaurant. Waiters were attentive without being disruptive. Service charge is included, but in this instance the staff deserved it.

Well, now, if you're lookin' for a place to set your tastebuds on fire and make 'em do a two-step,…read more*Butchery and Wine* in Warsaw is where you want to be. 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.

This place is charming, cozy, and clearly a must-visit -- it was very busy with people waiting outside, which only confirmed how loved it is. I ordered the traditional pierogies (without meat), and they were absolutely delicious -- tender, comforting, and full of flavor. The cranberry sauce and mushroom sauce on the side were perfect pairings and really elevated the dish, adding a sweet and earthy balance to each bite. It felt like the kind of spot you seek out when traveling -- authentic, warm, and deeply satisfying. If you're a foodie or a visitor wanting to experience real Polish comfort food while in Warsaw, this is definitely a place you shouldn't miss. I'd happily return and highly recommend it!

Wow. What a pleasant experience I had here from the cocktails, entree and dessert. Absolutely…read moredelicious! I sat at the bar area and enjoyed a Malva Negra cocktail while I waited for my food order to arrive. It was the waitresses recommendation based on my mention of not preferring sweet drinks. The infusion of blueberry and lavender was surprisingly more balanced and didnt tip the scale towards the sweeter side. (So I ended ordering another towards the end of the meal). Now for the food...I was just blown away. I ordered the special which was a large pork chop with some plum sauce concoction that I cannot describe other than being subtly savory and sweet but an absolutely perfect complement to the hefty, juicy and tender bone-in pork chop. I was already full at this point since I finished it all but the waitress did highly recommend the panna cotta dessert which I'm so glad I gave in and ordered it. It was topped with a black sesame sauce with bits of pistachio. Additionally, there was a portion of what looked like/tasted like dragons beard but it added another layer of depth to the already superb dish. The ambiance is a mix of cozy, trendy and elegant which can be more casual or more formal depending on your occasion. I came in around 2pm so I must've missed the lunch rush since I heard this place gets some longer wait times. As for the staff, the waitress and bartender were both extremely attentive and friendly. They both would always check in to see if I was enjoying the food and if there was anything else I needed/wanted. This place came very highly recommended by a local in Warsaw and I experienced why :)

Polish Modern, Hipster, and Vegetarian Heaven? Found this place from Rick Steve's travel book, but…read moreI didn't realize it became vegetarian, but I already sat down, and needed to cleanse my body a bit after weeks of hearty meaty European fare. Real local Poles were eating, drinking, and socializing here too. My young handsome waiter was friendly and spoke English well, he even let me taste two different wines before me settling on a decision. 33PLN/$8.25 Carmelized fried feta with Ramiro peppers, olives, lemon salsa, and seasonings. Fresh, fragrant and delicious. 26PLN/$6.20 Roasted Brussel Sprouts, ricotta, caramelized onions, sun dried tomatoes...also fresh, fragrant and delicious. 24PLN/$6 glass of wine. I highly recommend visiting Poland, you get so much for your American dollar! This was a great meal for only $21ish! I could've easily eaten more, but being my last night In Poland I decided to find some meat pierogis, my new favorite thing. Also in Poland, taxes are already included in the price, and tipping is not required! Though I always tipped a 8PLN/$2 or more if service was good, as it certainly was here.

Zapiecek feels a lot like the Denny's of Warsaw. First of all, there are locations of this chain…read morerestaurant everywhere (I counted no fewer than seven on my visit). Second, the restaurant is decorated with lots of kitsch decorated with Polish folk art, and even the service staff was dressed in "traditional" clothes. Third, the huge menu was full of fantastical, colorful photos that were obviously exaggerated depictions of the actual dishes. I started with an order of the zurek, a sour white rye soup served with a grilled sausage, half a hard-boiled egg topped with horseradish, and slices of a seeded Polish bread, all arranged on a wooden board. But my favorite dish was the bigos, a traditional Polish stew made with sauerkraut cooked with sausage, pork ribs, forest mushroom, dried plums, and red wine. As a whole, the dish was nicely balanced in flavor with the savoriness of the meat and mushrooms, the sourness of the sauerkraut, and the slight sweetness of the dried plums. While the actual plates of food didn't look as picture-perfect as the photos, and the whole restaurant felt a bit artificial, the food and dining experience were great nonetheless!

We ordered the Grandma's mixture of fried dumplings, three entrees and drinks. Our waitress was not that friendly from the beginning but took our order without writing it down although she did repeat it back to us. She set up the metal stand for the dumplings, but they never arrived! Only two out of the three entrees arrived so the 3rd dish- the pig's knuckles didn't arrive either. I just shared my food with my wife and she was ok with that. We called the waitress over and told her we didn't receive the dumpling and the 3rd entree. She did not apologize for this nor express any sympathy about those missing items. I called the manager over to tell her the same issue, but surprisingly, she didn't offer an apology or any corrective measures herself. She didn't even bother to check up on this, so I flatly told her that we are canceling those two dishes and not to bring them as we are leaving now. The waitress ran downstairs to tell the chef to stop the orders, but I didn't care at that point anymore whether they were actually ready or not. When we paid our bill, again, the waitress didn't even say Thank You or anything else. It seems that neither one seemed to care about what had happened. I know it was busy that night and things like this happens. However that's why people like me leave honest reviews for others to read before they go to any restaurant. Oh, we didn't bother leaving a tip as a result.
