The beer restaurant in Poland, save your money in old town and just comer here for every meal. This place seems to b a local favorite, and you will need not make reservations in advance for dinner (we came for lunch). All of the food was good, beef tartare was made tableside. The fish was also very good. The pork knuckle was fantastic and very tender. Don't get deserts here, they r an extra 2 zloty, just go next door to the bakery which is owned by them too. The free bread is also sourdough and rye it was super awesome. The waiters were professional and spoke English. There is an extra about $6 service charge for dining read more

Stary Dom sets a high bar when it comes to an elegant dining. The space is on the more formal side but not fancy enough for cocktail attire; which I was so grateful for. 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. read more

One of the best, if not THE BEST, restaurants in town!! Amazing selection of high quality food, liquor, wine and beer. Great appetizers (I recommend the beef tartare made right at the table! We met the owner and he was so friendly. Told us about the history of his restaurant and sat and talked with us a while! Great pastry deserts too! Absolutely a must try restaurant if in the area!! read more

What a wonderful place with wonderful ambience! So glad we came here. From start to finish the service was on par and great. We were treated with respect. For food we started with the beef tartar which was chopped, mixed & made in front of us. It was Delicious, tender and like nothing we had before. For the next app we had pierogi but one that had a veal in it and it was a southern Poland inspired one. It was MAGNIFICENT. I have had many types of pierogi but this one was one of the best and most tender delicous I have tried. We then shared the ribs which were so delicous and tender. On our way out we were offered a free shot and a dessert. It was a wonderful night & we had a great time! read more

Very nice restaurant, possibly my favorite in Warsaw although a bit off from the center. The restaurant is self has a very good and relaxing ambient, service is polite and efficient, and prices are really fair given quantity and quality. As a starter I had a beef tarter which was really good and a big portion. Furthermore, it is very cool that they knife-cut it and prepare it in front of you. Unfortunately they didn't have Rabbit that was on the menu on they day that I visited therefore I went for the beef cheeks, it wasn't a bad alternative as meat was good and it was a huge portion. read more

Wow. I loved this place! The ambiance is fantastic, and really sets the stage for a wonderful evening. As we sat we were handed a shot of vodka! For an appetizer we ordered the beef tartare off a recommendation from a friend. My friend and I split the smallest portion and it was more than enough for both of us. So tasty. The best part is they prepare it tableside. Our chef that prepared it was friendly and made light conversation with us as he created the delicious plate. For our meal I ordered the pork knuckle which came with sauerkraut and potatoes as my side. The sauerkraut really stole the show. It was so incredible. The potatoes and pork were also very good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. A few other plates at my table were ribs, periogis and soup. Everyone was full and happy. We ended the night with our waiter asking if we wanted dessert and bringing out the vodka carts. So much to choose from. Such a fun experience trying different vodkas. Highly recommend coming here!! read more

Tasty food, excellent service, abundant portions. You can't go wrong here. We will definitely return

Don't come here looking for creativity. This place serves traditional, simple and slightly bland, Polish cuisine. Nor is it the high class Polish cuisine which was influenced by French cooking. It's good comfort food - polish style. My big disappointment with the restaurant is that they rush you to finish and head out the door. Quite inelegantly, in fact, with the manager swinging by the table and saying it's time to go. This despite the reservation stating we had more time. read more

The restaurant is a tribute to old world style and comfort food. The decor is beautiful and traditional while also being upscale. The food never disappoints!!!! Tried several dishes, from appetizer to dessert, and everything was tasty and wonderful. I've hosted a private luncheon here and the service is first class. Five stars is just not enough!!!! read more

Excellent on so many levels! Great wine list! Veal tartar made table side looked fantastic, although we didn't have it. My rabbit dish was unusually prepared, braised and finished in a clear thick broth. Appetizers were excellent if not slightly forgettable. Altogether a great reason to travel away from the city center! read more

They specialize in classic Polish dishes that are hearty and carefully prepared. Friends and I were brought here by a Polish friend who now lives in London because the quality of the food and service are impeccable, and the decor has an understated elegance. Thankfully the noise level is reasonable and we could have a conversation without having to yell. The bartender knows how to properly mix cocktails, not always common in Warsaw. Their breads are excellent. This was my second time visiting Stary Dom, and it mirrored the first. Our wine, not particularly expensive, was decanted. My doctor wouldn't approve, but the Beef Tartare cannot be passed-up if this is up your alley. The filet is hand-chopped table side and seasoned to your taste. It is unforgettably good, the best I have ever enjoyed. After that I had roast chicken, while others enjoyed dishes like ribs or duck, but they would have sent me into a red meat coma. The desserts are decadent, obviously made in house, and generous. Stary Dom is a wonderful restaurant for old-school, traditional Polish food that is created by a chef and staff who know what they are doing. read more

Very nice service. Amazing quality of food Ambiance is very connected to polish culture. Highly reccomend. read more

An impressive offering of Polish tradition and hospitality. Everything is excellent but Steak Tartar is a must. Its a culinary experience in flavor and preparation. We ordered traditional herring, tartar and veal kidneys in butter/wine/garlic reduction. All were outstanding. Reservations are highly recommended during the week. This place stays busy. At lunch the crowds are light so walk-ins are possible. Skip the tourist traps of Old Town and grab a quick uber ride here and eat like royalty! read more

If you are looking for a 5 star traditional Polish Restaurant then look no further than Stary Dom! The moment that you walk in the door you realize you are in for a wonderful culinary experience. The restaurant has such wonderful character with its exposed wood beams and decor, you instantly feel welcome upon entering. We sat in the upper level balcony overlooking the main room and started our experience with a glass of wine and a tray of complimentary bread, traditional lard spread, butter and pickles. I have only tried beef tartar once before and never ordered it myself but I have wanted to try it again since we entered Poland, Stary Dom is known for its Tartar so without hesitation I ordered it as my starter, it is prepared table side and the portion is quite large, it was delicious! My wife order the prawn starter and it was perfect. For my main I ordered the 1/2 duck with mashed potatoes on a bed of shredded beetroot with a very nice berry sauce. My wife ordered the Pork Knuckle on a bed of sauerkraut, both dishes were perfectly cooked, flavored and plated. For desert we enjoyed a wonderful pistachio meringue and a pot of tea each. Everything that we ate was amazing, the service was exceptional and the ambience was perfect! I would not change a thing at Start Dom and I hope to return very soon! On our way out the door we were each offered a bag with a pastry in it, I dont know if this is a normal occurrence, this morning we enjoyed our parting gift, it was some kind of yummy cream cheese pastry with bits of dried orange, a pleasant way to start the day and a great reminder of last nights wonderful culinary experience!! read more

Sorry to say so but one of the biggest disappointment in Warsaw gastronomy. Visiting this place many times before after about year of absence we decided to stop by for a dinner. The dinner was a disaster. Starting from being seated by pretty but negligent girl, to a being food poisoned at the end. Traditional polish pork breaded cutlett "schabowy" was smelly, sticky and served almost cold. Vomiting, diarrhea immediately after. Used to be perfect ribs, now only average, smaller in size, 50% hike on price. Chicken broth soup again served cold. I'm not recommending any more. All looks like arrogancy of management and complacency of owner (well known actor). Better try different places. Stay safe! read more

Love it! Great food, cool ambiance and inexpensive. I started with the beef tartar and then had their home made pierogis which were both fabulous. I would have loved to try more but was there on my own. With wine and water, my meal barely came to $40! read more

Amazing food, big portions and very reasonable prices, but not so great service... especially if you aren't Polish.

Hello my Yelpies, Once again it's that time of the year when I go abroad to different countries to try their new food. This time Poland is the way to go! Thank you Stary Dom for a wonderful experience of Authentic Polish food. The place was beautiful, it had such an authentic feeling right when you walk in, the decoration was off the chart. Parking here is a little crazy, but we were lucky enough to find parking to the right side of the restaurant. Big warning!! DO NOT ORDER ONE ENTREE PER PERSON, the portion was enormous especially after the soup and starter. First of course we have to try their traditional sausage soup called zurek, it was actually very delicious. Personally it is too salty for me but that's because I've been cutting salt in many months therefore; pretty much anything is too salty for me. But I've got to say that the sausage was delicious also the boiled egg was definitely the cherry on top of a delicious cake. As for starters we order the prawns, chicken kidney and chicken salad. The prawns was extremely delicious, the sauce was off the chart, I do suggest dipping the bread that it comes with into the sauce of the prawns to a pinch of deliciousness into the bread. As for the chicken kidney, I wouldn't suggest to order that, it was a little under cook so it gave my parents and I a feeling of gagging when you eat it. Maybe it would have been better if it wasn't so under cooked. For entree we order the "catch of the day" with pork feet. I definitely suggest everyone to try their pork feet, the meat falls right off the bone, it has a hint of sweetness and a delicious sauce and satay onions on the bottom for the pork. I was extremely happy with the order. As for the fish it wasn't anything too special, it was well cooked with a side of mash, green beans and some other different kind of vegetables. I was very happy with my dinner, the service was off the chart, everyone was extremely helpful and understanding. Overall, 5 stars for service, 4 stars for food and drinks, 5 stars for decoration and environment and 5 stars for cleanliness. If I have a chance to come back in the near future I'll definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful expwrience. read more

Very good food, the duck was great. Good service. The atmosphere is nice like a stary dom.

I was finishing my stay in Poland and on my last night, I wanted to organize a dinner with friends that were traveling with me. I sent out an invitation and got 15 responses - more than expected. I phoned the restaurant several times with updates and they were able to accommodate us! The location is a cab ride away from the airport or downtown area. The building is old, but has had many updates. The decor is vintage, much as you might expect from the restaurant's name. The menu was extensive, featuring many classic Polish items as well as items such as pork ribs. There is a beer and wine list as well. The server was able to keep up with our order. Food got delivered in a timely manner and was outstanding! Portion sizes were generous. My personal favorites were the traditional items - pierogi (they feature several different fillings) and golubki (stuffed cabbage). The beef tartar is prepared tableside and the preparation is as wonderful as the taste! The ribs were ordered by those less adventurous in our party and were enjoyed. The ambiance favored our large group. We were able to talk and enjoy the evening. Also, the meal prices were very reasonable (by US standards). We averaged less than $20 per person. read more

I've been avoiding Beef Tartar for a while now. Raw beef, really?? But a grandfatherly chef that makes it at your table gave me the gentle shove to try it...and I'm glad I did. Basically, it tastes like pate, but seeing it prepared in front of me, with the chef dumping heaping amounts of garlic and pepper still didn't adequately prepare me for the garlic high I got from this. And let's remember a cardinal rule here: There's no such thing as too much garlic. Ever. My main course was a basic pork tenderloin in mushroom gravy with halusky and red cabbage. The pork tenderloin was good. Tender and juicy and the mushrooms in the gravy tasted fresh. However, it wasn't the best I've ever had, still no complaints. I don't like halusky, but for those of you that do, it was made fine. Not that you can really screw it up. The cabbage was cut courser (i.e. not shredded) which is how I prefer it, so for you purists, there's that. I'd definitely go back, but there are some cheaper places around Warsaw that are just as good. You should come here though for the ambiance and Western-style service. read more

Last meal in Poland....days before Christmas. The atmosphere is cheerful and full of Christmas spirit. We had an amazing dinner, starting with cepelinai and golabki, finished with lamb shank and beef cheeks. Oh yeah, and lots of zubrowka vodka. PHENOMENAL !! Excellent service (we know very little Polish). Would definitely recommend Stary Dom. Very happy this will be my last food memory of Poland. read more

Trendy place, nice food and good service. We went there as a small group. I have to thank my friend who took us there. He paid the bill as well -)) All the dishes were good.

I really like this place, it's always good quality, fresh and traditional polish cuisine. Beef Tatar is probably the best in town. They have very professional service. Deserts are also very nice. This is one of the top 3 polish food restaurant in warsaw, a safe choice. Weekend are crowded, better have a reservation. Only cons: they don't serve my favorite meal on weekends: veal escalope (sznitzel cielencina) I don't know why?? read more

The food was very good. The traditional tastes of a polish cuisine came out very nicely. A bit heavy but definitely worth the visit if you want a taste of polish food. Would be 5 stars if the waiters were more attentive and work hard for their tip. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Warszawa so far. We came from USA to Poland about five months ago, since then we go to that restaurant on a regular basis. Polish traditional food at its best. Especially the Tatar is superb. We have taken all our visitors and family to that restaurant, and everybody loves it. I highly recommend it read more

immaculate! the steak tartare and żurek are must haves.
