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.

We were way too full for the dessert but our meal was so delicious that we couldn't resist ordering the meringue dessert and a couple of Americanos. We were amazed at the quality of food and service!

They also have lunch menu which is very affordable (8€) for the quality you get. You get a starter and main course and the water is for free. Ideal for business lunch.

My husband and family absolutely loved their seafood soup and tartar. They ordered an additional plate of it. Could not have asked for a better dinner experience.

First thing you notice is the ambiance; I was seated outside in their courtyard, which is a secluded oasis tucked away from the street. Service was friendly but relaxed. I started with a glass of wine and the herring nigiri appetizer. Prior to coming here, I was pretty unfamiliar with the cuisine of Poland and surrounds, so the herring was a fully new type of flavor for me. The presentation was beautiful, the type of dish inventive, and the flavors themselves delicious and well- balanced. My second dish, the cauliflower, was very creatively prepared and was also delicious, if unfortunately slightly on the saltier side. I ended with the scallop ceviche risotto. WOW. This is the BEST risotto I have ever had. It's hard to describe; the interplay between the flavors was unmatched - and all the ingredients were as fresh as can be. I still dream of this risotto to this day.

For a weeknight, they were packed! Also, the entrance is tucked away from the main street. Look for and follow the sign to lead you to the entrance. The first thing you see as you entered the restaurant is bottles and bottles of wine on the shelves. I really can't tell you the overall space because I felt like I went from one room to another, pass the kitchen, through another room and was seated in a small room with about 6 or 7 tables. It's almost like a maze. I can tell most of the patron are locals. Friends meeting after work for drinks and a quick bite to eat. I know I'm in the right place :-) The menu is small and seasonal with the intention to order/taste every dish because the portion is small too. We started off with Bulion, which is a broth soup with duck dumplings. It was delicious and savory. The ginger in the broth soup warmed my stomach. It was exactly what I needed for our first night in Warsaw. According to other yelpers, we have to order the beef tartare. I'm not big on raw beef but it tasted better than I expected. The beef tartare is served on top of potato pancake. The potato sort of mellow out the raw meat taste. Great presentation! Chicken Liver Parfait served on a buttermilk bread was probably my favorite dish. I know liver is not for the faint of heart, but when it's done right, it's chef kiss! Chicken liver is incredibly good for us and a nutrient-dense superfood packed with protein and vitamins. I wish I can see more dishes like this served in the states. Foie Gras sales and production is strictly restricted in most states. We just have to try it whenever we are in Europe. YOLO! It's rich and buttery and served on a even more buttery brioche. Very filling. Skrei was a fish dish that we should of skipped. It was served on a big pile of foam and herbs with very little fish (see pic.). It's something I expect at a high end 13 course tasting menu, not at a wine bar. We each had a glass of Badenhorst Family White Wine. It wasn't the best I had but it works for the occasion. Tips: Service is slow and that's just how the European roll. Be patience and enjoy the view and take in the moment that you're in Poland! They charge for water and 10% service charge.

Cold dishes are mostly salads in multiple varieties and good portion. Tomato, raspberry and warm goat cheese salad was very good. Hot dishes go from grain pierogis in goat milk to rabbit or guinea fowl. A plate for everyone. Carrot soup with corn was delicious. Service is impeccable and very attentive. Adults atmosphere. Definitely a good place to try something different. Fusion selective dishes inspired on Polish cuisine. As per drinks, again, few but selective wine menu to pair with the food. Additionally they offer a tasting menu of 4 or 6 courses (119 zł or 149 zł respectively -if my memory serves me well-) Prices are slightly above average but in line with the area and quality of the experience.

The restaurant is very cozy and tucked on Emily Plater street. We did not have reservation, and visited during lunch hours, but seating outside was not problem. However we were advised that reservation is usually needed. Staff was very nice and accommodated us immediately. The menu is short with some polish classics deconstructed in some way. We had : Tartare--it is a Polish staple and I must admit I can put it on my top list. Very delicate, brilliantly combined with all the toppings. You can feel the quality of the meat on the first bite. Marinated Herring--with soured milk was another delicious dish that made our experience a pleasure one. Served on baked potatoes were a great starter without argument. Sour Cucumber Soup--another dish famous for Polish cuisine. Nice deconstruction with horseradish and smoked trout was very interesting. Deer Pate--served with young beets, currants, home mayo and bread, served with homemade bread. All the good things ready to spread on the fresh bread. They also have good selection of wine and craft local beers. I wish we could try more menu items and I believe they would be as good as everything that we had tried. I am happy that I could try your food Mr. Andrzej Polan. Od samego poczatku chcielismy odwiedzic to miejsce podczas pobytu w Warszawie. Jestesmy fanami 'Dziendobry TVN" gdzie szef Andrzej Polan czesto gosci. Restauracja jest przytulna prawie schowana na ul Emilii Plater. Odwiedzilismy to miesce podczas lunchu nie majac rezerwacji, ale posadzenie nas na zewnatrz nie bylo zadnym problemem. Kelner oznajmil nam ze z reguly rezerwacje sa potrzebne. Ekipa ktora tam pracuje jest bardzo mila i szybko zostalismy posadzeni przy stoliku. Menu jest krotkie i zawiera klasyki polskiej kuchni z lekka dekonstrukcja. Zamowilismy nastepujaco: Tatar--polska klasyka i musze przyznac ze moglbym to danie umiescic na gorze listy tatarow ktore mialem przyjemnosc jesc w restauracjach. Bardzo delikatny, super polaczenie z dodatkami. Od razu bylo mozna wyczuc jakosc miesa po pierwszym kesie. Marynowany Sledz--serwowany z kwasnym mlekiem byl kolejnym smacznym daniem, ktore sprawilo ze nasz pobyt byl milym przezyciem. Serwowane na pieczonym ziemniaku byly swietna przystawka bez dwoch zdan. Zupa ogorkowa--kolejne danie znane w polskiej kuchni. Fajna dekonstrukcja podania z chrzanem i wedzonym pstragiem byla bardzo interesujaca. Pasztet z Jelenia--serwowany z mlodymi buraczkami, porzeczkami, majonezem i swojskim chlebem. Wszystkie pyszne rzeczy gotowe do posmarowania na swiezy chleb. Polana Smakow ma rowniez dobra selekcje win i piw rzemieslniczych. Zaluje ze nie moglismy sprobowac wiecej pozycji z menu gdyz jestem przekonanyz, ze wszystko bylo by rownie smaczne. Jestesmy bardzo zadowoleni ,ze moglismy sprobowac tego jedzenia panie Andrzeju.
