AKADEMIA SMAKU NAZWA RESTAURACJI RESTAURANT

Located in Warsaw’s center, Akademia Smaku emanates its own culinary “education” informing guests on what excellent Polish cuisine is all about. The name which translates to “academy of flavors” is appropriate; indeed in its impeccable interiors, one is exposed to an impressive array of Polish flavors.

Items such as the scallops with chorizo and broad beans; duck with soba pasta and seaweed salad; classical beef sirloin steak with pepper sauce, fries, and arugula; the halibut with parsnip, capers and croutons; and for dessert , cheese cake with chocolate sauce, are all excellent.

If there is a famous Polish cafe that defines history then one needs to visit. A.Blikle, in existence since 1869. Nowadays, more of a café cum brasserie, this institution which has been run by the Blikle family for five generations offers a synthesis between Polish and French cuisine. While its “café aspect” needs no introduction with its wide spectrum of offerings – desserts, famous donuts, cheesecake with raspberry, fine coffees and teas, its brasserie is demonstrating the same sense in its food offering. The mushroom soup with dumplings: the wheat and buckwheat pancakes served with salmon, caviar, or herring; duck in various recipe formulations and the St. Jacob mussels are good selections. Breakfast served all day. A.Blikle always lives up to a quality experience.

BANJANAZWA LUKA RESTAURACJI RESTAURANT

Restaurant Banja Luka, named after the wonderful city in Bosnia near Croatia, is a special place in the center of Warsaw which unites the culinary aspects of the region inhabited for centuries by Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, Muslims, and Jews. Patterned after a Balkan seaside tavern, the authentic atmosphere offers live music and a wonderful selection of wines. What arrives on the table is made by an eager-to-please kitchen staff that includes actual chefs from Serbia and Croatia. The restaurant serves not only choice of marinated, smoked and grilled meats, fish, and seafood, but also salads, and vegetarian dishes. Dishes represented by such items as Gurmańska Pleskawica, which is meat with cheese and hot paprika stuffing; or Banjalucki ćevap which is a large portion of chopped mutton wrapped in smoked bacon, are all flavor packed.

A great place indeed!

Casa Pablo is redefining the idea of Spanish cuisine in Warsaw.

While not a traditional Spanish restaurant, dishes are prepared using Spanish techniques and products flown in from the country. Culinary creativity is reflected in items such as the homemade foie gras coated with toasted kikos, served with fig compote and raspberry pebbles or the duck breast burger served with sansho ko pepper caramelized onions, mahon cheese, arugula, raspberry ketchup and truffle mayonnaise.

TOP Warsaw

The word brasserie implies a relaxed, upscale setting, professional service, white linen, a simple yet comprehensive menu.

Brasserie Warszawska is of course more than that, and is reflective of the combined traditions of Warsaw and Paris, suffused perhaps with elements of the new European modernity. The dishes on the menu, such as the beef fillet with dauphine potatoes and spinach, emphasize simplicity; yet simultaneously reinforce the focus on quality of ingredients, methods of preparation, elegance of appearance, and heavenly flavors. The staff here is passionate about what they do; there is an implied guarantee of service and genuine hospitality. The restaurant has an outstanding bar with original-design stools, champagne and fine cocktails; there is a private room ideal for groups of 12 to 24 guests as well. Brasserie Warszawska is surely an uptick on Warsaw’s culinary map!

BUTCHERY & WINE RESTAURANT

Butchery & Wine has become the only restaurant in Poland to be awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, which implies good value for money and which represents a favorite of the Michelin Guides. Speaking to owner Daniel Pawelek it is abundantly clear that his objective is for Butchery & Wine to be known as a place in Warsaw’s center where guests can enjoy outstanding food from a thankfully short menu—this aspect is extremely uncommon and intelligent. Appetizers and dishes such as the roast bone marrow, a classic; seared scallops with boudin noir; Bavette steak with shallots; and cote de boeuf, are all outstanding, perhaps to be followed by dessert such as the spiced pear and apple crumble with vanilla ice-cream. A comprehensive wine list, and friendly service make Butchery & Wine a top selection!

The legendary Café Bristol Café, situated in the very heart of the city, is an integral part of Le Meridien Bristol Hotel.

For years a favorite meeting place for both Warsaw’s visitors and its locals, it has welcomed patrons since 1901. With interiors styled in Viennese elegance, this is the place where one can enjoy outstanding coffee and desserts from its own in-house bakery throughout the year. The menu changes with the seasons; late autumn-early winter is a time for the stuff of Polish orchards, so cakes with apples, plums and pears are outstanding, as well as there is a greater an emphasis on salads, fruits, and light meats. No surprise therefore that this place has come to be a place where social and business meetings always go well! Note: Breakfast starts at 8 am, and in December, Christmas dishes will be available for takeout.

GIOVANNI RUBINO RESATAURANT

Located diagonally across from the Presidential Palace Giovanni Rubino has become an Italian institution in its own right. Celebrating its 20th birthday in 2011, this outstanding place is where modern Mediterranean fare rooted in traditional Italian has been created by Chef Piotr Rybicki who has been at the helm of culinary affairs since it opened in 1991. This long unfaltering collaboration over the years between owner and chef has resulted in interesting variations such as Pizza Pizzaiolo with Parma ham and arugula, spaghetti with mussels, and the much-in-demand pork fillet with mushroom sauce. With a well-appointed bar which leads to a chic, semi-private chamber, great home-made desserts, a committed and friendly staff, and an endearing value-for-money ethos, Giovanni is where everyone wants to come back to!

An inspired tribute to the life of Poland’s 20th century author Witold Gombrowicz, Ferdy’s derives its name from his 1937 novel, Ferdydurke. Chef Dariusz Zachoraski’s menu is international with Polish accents following the author’s Polish origin and his travels in South America, Argentina, and France. Selections such as the cold, creamy red beetroot soup with yoghurt; black tiger prawns and scallops ceviche; dried pork loin with rowan aromatized vodka; oven-roasted cod medallion served with cream of broad beans with mint, are all outstanding. An impressive wine list is well matched to the menu, and with a well stocked bar and a special lounge area, @Ferdy’s has become a place for both casual, as well as for a top-notch culinary experience.

Polish village in the heart of city

The word Gospoda means “inn” and Folk Gospoda is one of the oldest and more treasured restaurants in Warsaw with a history going back to the 18th century. Having won numerous awards for its traditional Polish cuisine, within its warmly illumined, rustic interiors the mind is most definitely transported to a rural Polish setting. The menu of course is replete with country wholesomeness with the use of fresh and local produce, confectionery, and even home-baked bread. Appetizers such as highlanders’ style oscypek, or smoked sheep’s cheese from the Polish mountains, served with cranberry; pierogi with various fillings; dishes made with wild game; the roasted pork with garlic and plums, are all true to their flavorful traditions.

OBERZA POD CZERWONYM WIEPRZEM

Oberża Pod Czerwonym Wieprzem, or the Inn Under the Red Hog was in its historical past a restaurant for the communist party elite, where surrounded by chandeliers, portraits, and flags, once feasted the likes of Lenin, Breżnev, Fidel Castro, and Mao Tse Tung! The walls are replete with portraits of old communists, and the dishes have names such as Delicacies of the Polish People’s Republic, a selection of pate, luncheon meat, blood sausage, and kielbasa; varied pierogi “made from rationed flour”; and Baltic herring and game pate for the “Dignitaries and Bourgeoisie”.

This is Polish cuisine in fact at its very best, with main dishes that are outstanding-examples include the oven roasted duck, served with cherry sauce, roasted apple, and beetroot. The restaurant’s fame continually attracts celebrity guests; important government leaders, various sports personalities, and you!

The salient fact about Lebanese cuisine is that it is truly Mediterranean, with healthful ingredients and preparations that emphasize the use of fresh ingredients.

Le Cedre is the only Lebanese purveyor in Poland of its class, with a 16-year history at Aleja Solidarności 61. Offering a diversity of flavors--cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, and mint--one can actually get a fine sense of Lebanon’s culinary traditions here. Le Cedre is not only a place for a delicious cuisine but also which offers a virtual excursion to a resort country--a large collection of Lebanese wines, original interior design, and Arabic music in the background, all contribute immensely to the feeling! What matters here ultimately is that the food is absolutely top in its composition, immensely healthful and refreshing, and served in a traditional setting which completes this Lebanese experience.

LE CEDRE NAZWA 84 RESTAURACJI RESTAURANT

Le Cedre, the only Lebanese purveyor in town, now has a newer branch at Aleja Solidarności 84, which is located closer to the city center. With a 15 year history at Aleja Solidarności 61, the name “Le Cedre” in Warsaw already enjoys an outstanding reputation. No surprise therefore that this newer venue is a favorite place for discussing business over lunch for the city’s corporate bigwigs, dinner with family, or simply partying with friends! Lebanese cuisine is indeed a symbol of its people’s hospitality, where nothing strengthens the human bond more than eating together.

This refined Mediterranean cuisine delights and refreshes with its healthful ingredients, the menu here replete with Lebanese classics such as an array of cold and warm mezze. With Lebanese wines on the menu, ingredients flown in from Lebanon, Le Cedre 84 is a class act through and through!

SŁODKI...SŁONY NAZWA RESTAURACJI RESTAURANT

Located on swanky Mokotowska Street, Słodki... Słony, pronounced “swodkey, swoneh” (and which translates to Sweet, Salty), is Poland’s top restaurateur and culinary genius Magda Gessler’s immense imagination coming together to produce gastronomic art of high order. Passion is clearly evident here with over 60 kinds of desserts, cakes, and pastries on the menu; what is different here is that recipes are 100% natural and date back over a century. Not surprisingly sweets were even sent to Pope John Paul II at the Vatican!

Just as “Słodki” caters to the sweeter aspects of life, “Słony” caters to the salted, with items such as the caviar served on toast with egg and lemon, salmon in a marinade of green lemon and dill, alongside good old Polish bigos as well.

A marriage of immense flavors, traditions, and an enrapturing ambience makes this place a sweet Warsaw experience indeed!

Much of what appears on the table is what she learned from her grandmother with dishes such as the baked carp with porcini mushrooms and cream; and white sausage with honey and onion jam. With a far reaching reputation both domestically and internationally, its guest list boasts many visiting dignitaries.

Ultimately what stands out at U Fukiera is the distinct philosophy that all guests here are A-list celebrities—to be fed, treated, and looked after as such!

TOMO SUSHI RESTAURANT

Tomo Sushi stands tall amongst Warsaw’s crowded culinary scene, largely due to a few unassailable features—great quality, authenticity, and an easy welcoming atmosphere. It has proven itself with creativity which is evident here at all levels. The menu has been put together with a clear thought to impress that this is no ordinary sushi place with items such as the Gyutataki, slices of raw beef served with shichimi sauce, grated daikon, fresh ginger, onions and greens; and the Shiromi Usuzukuri which is thinly sliced carpaccio of fresh white fish with lemon based ponzu sauce. The tuna steak with mustard sauce; the chicken teriyaki are all equally wonderful. The vision of Tomo’s co-owner Andrzej Pankiewicz is to impart a memorable experience; the word “Tomo” in Japanese implies friendship, and this is the place to enjoy company in the presence of outstanding culinary creations!

L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE

Olivier Baussan, the founder of L’Occitane, has to say this about his company and the land of its inspiration, giving us an insight into why this is quickly becoming a leading brand name in the world of personal care—“The sun smiles on Provence. Its warmth makes the soil generous and the people openhearted. Its brightness is reflected in the crafts, customs and traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation. The sun, the products of the soil and a love of nature are the essence of my Provence. It is this essence I want to share with the world. It is what inspired me to create L’Occitane.” This amazing philosophy is the reason that the shelves at L’Occitane are lined with inspirational products for both women and men—fragrances, products for bath and body, skin care, and even for a great smelling home!

The sweet-to-the-ear term “cheese monger� seems a little quaint, but how wonderful indeed for Warsaw to have one!

Welcome to La Fromagerie--a cheese, and fine foods and wine retailer located in a must-visit location at Burakowska Street, once the site of an old lace factory.

Offering top quality cheese produced by small, artisanal producers in England, France, and from other countries, one finds adorning the shelves here items such as Italian Parma Ham, Spanish Chorizo, French sausages and other gourmet specialties. With a seating area guests can savor both the products, aromas, and the ambience here. This is indeed an original idea for a casual meeting; a working breakfast here, for example, would be ideal. With its own gourmet coffee blends and a selection of freshly baked baguettes and croissants directly from the oven, La Fromagerie delights on several levels!

Opulently furnished with the comfort of padded leather armchairs, relaxation is the mantra which makes the hours seem like a short time and make one yearning to stay longer. The good news is that La Casa is here to stay, and there is always tomorrow to be here again. Freshly rolled in Cuba, your cigar has arrived and waits to be lit by you!

The exhibition conveys the atmosphere of those horrific days within an area of over 3000 square meters filled with 1000 items, 1500 photographs, films, and sound recordings. The history of the days preceding the outbreak of the Rising is shown along with its subsequent stages. A must see! www.1944.plvenue: Grzybowska 79 phone: +48 22 539 79 05

The Museum delivers a high quality artistic experience, with the choice on what to take away depending on the individual viewer.

Innovative forms of exploration are based on interaction with the audience and the immediate responses by the individual. The Museum must not simply be regarded as only a central facility made for the Year of Chopin celebrations held during 2010; it is first and foremost a national institution commemorating Fryderyk Chopin.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

Yuka Ebihara A Midsummer Night’s dream trail photo Ewa Krasucka

Shakespeare’s output has frequently inspired choreographers. That is why the Polish National Ballet will realize a repertoire project preceding the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of the Stratfordian Bard’s death. A Midsummer Night’s Dreamshall open the cycle of Shakespeare premieres.

Many choreographers have made use of this play but John Neumeier’s version surpasses them all. His ballet fully expresses the magic and the spirit of the Shakespearean play. This charming play about a love mix-up in real life and in the fantastic world of, the elves is one of the most valuable productions of this great choreographer. The three worlds in which Shakespeare’s heroes roam find their reflection both in choreography and in music. And everything has been presented by the choreographer with extraordinary empathy, humour and poetry. Text credit: National Opera

TOP Krakow TOP Warsaw

The 17th edition of the annual Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival coincides with anniversaries of two music greats: Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi’s 200th birthday. The festival, which has been organized since 2004, is designed to show Beethoven’s works in various contexts and perspectives. His compositions are set amongst the works of his contemporaries and provide a backdrop to a time when many compositions were written by the masters of the period. This world-class music event, initiated by its artistic director Ms. Elżbieta Penderecka, boasts the presence of a spectrum of leading artists from around the globe. The stars this year will include, amongst many others, the famous Julian Rachlin and Itamar Golan duo conducting piano and violin sonatas, and the pianist Simon Trpčeski performing Schubert and Liszt masterpieces. The festival’s “Unknown Operas” segment will feature the lesser known version of Verdi’s opera Simon Boccanegra. The festival will close on March 29th with the monumental Requiem by Verdi under the direction of the Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki!
