    Tasting menu. I often say that if one wants to be truly impressed with a restaurant, they need to go through the vegan tasting menu. In Lublin I wouldn't trust many restaurant with vegan food, but in Chapter One I had hope and they didn't disappoint! Brilliant combinations, taste pairing. Two of my favourite dishes were an appetizer of Portobello mushroom with teriyaki sauce, kale, red pepper - genius taste pairing, to me as a non-vegan resembled barbequed pork ribs; another one from the main course - Oyster mushroom on sauerkraut with tomato sauce: to put it simply - impressive! That sauerkraut deserves applauses Another thing to mention is wine pairing. Professionally picked wines paired perfect with each dish accordingly. A nice show of a wide wine collection Last but not least, pleasant service with fluent English and great knowledge of wines, helpful throughout the night, and very attentive Thank you!

    I was so excited when I went there. And yes, dishes were delicious and looked good. But not everything was as good as I would expect. The crew was pleasant and really tried to do their best but they were not trained. They were not able to provide details about wines they have in menu. As the card is not overcrowded, the owner of the place should become true leader and develop the team in the way they satisfy demanding clients. I understand that whole industry had hard times but I guess some people will demand more from the top-notch restaurant. I was served by 2 waiters and one was not aware what I ordered with another one. So again, a bit lack of experience and coordination. The last disadvantage - I went there to taste something new. I expected testing menu promoted on the restaurant website. Unfortunately, it was not available and I heard that „maybe it will return in September”. Taking into account it is one of more expensive restaurants in Lublin, I felt a bit disappointed. Despite many times I go back to restaurants to taste more positions from the menu, I have mixed feelings about the Chapter One. I expected something special, charming, top-notch food and service. And yes, I got delicious food but wasn’t able to order what I went for, the crew was pleasant but not prepared for more demanding clients. For premium price I expect premium service and atmosphere. Here I didn’t get it.

    Fabulous 7 course tasting menu. Enjoyed a lunch time graduation celebration with 12 people. The food was spectacular and the service was beyond reproach. Each course was served with a brief description. The presentation was beautiful- colors, plates, use of technology and elements all brought together to enhance and highlight the food. Would highly recommend. On par with any Michelin, Zagat, Diamond, rating throughout the world. A MUST VISIT. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable.

    (Translated by Google) A restaurant in a prestigious location, i.e. in the Old Town of Lublin. Very good cuisine, the husband was delighted. I am a little less, but I am not complaining. Fantastic waffle with buns baked on the spot. A very nice and friendly waiter. High prices, but well, place and cuisine 🙂 (Original) Restauracja w prestiżowym miejscu, czyli na Starym Mieście w Lublinie. Bardzo dobra kuchnia, mąż był zachwycony. Ja trochę mniej, ale nie narzekam. Fantastyczne czekadelko z wypiekanymi na miejscu buleczkami. Bardzo miły i sympatyczny pan kelner. Ceny wysokie, ale cóż, miejsce i kuchnia 🙂

    Bold, gutsy cooking with local ingredients. Great wine pairings, interesting combinations of flavours (mushroom soup with chocolate, beetroot sorbet, spruce oil). Competent waiting staff that spoke good English. We'll return!

    (Translated by Google) Great experience! We asked if we could order a VEGAN tasting menu, and to our surprise the answer was yes! Another surprise is the tasting itself. Great vegan dishes and great service. Really congratulations to the whole team. We will be happy to come back 👍👍👍 (Original) Wspaniałe doświadczenie! Zapytaliśmy czy możemy zamówić menu degustacyjne WEGAŃSKIE, i ku naszemu zaskoczeniu odpowiedz była na tak! Kolejne zaskoczenie to sama degustacja. Wspaniałe dania wegańskie i świetna obsługa. Naprawdę gratulacje dla całego zespołu. Z przyjemnością wrócimy 👍👍👍

    The art of preparing delicious, exceptional tasting food! Special place, highly, recommended!

    Again a place where we miss that google offers ZERO points. The waitress was "fighting" with the bottle of champagne (probably never opened one before) and no tasting sip offered. Same with the wine afterwards: no tasting sip. She just filled the glasses. The starters arrived more or less together. Taste: average. And the Beef Tartare was minced and not cut - as it should be. Here they could do significantly better. But then the total mess started: one main dish arrived - dry veal (yes dry like dry and not like dry aged...). About 30 (!) minutes later two more main dishes arrived. One more veal (a little bit less dry) and one beef filet steak. They totally forgot about the main dish for one person! We asked what would be the fastest and waited for about another 20 minutes until a Beef Tartare arrived. We still were in "rather" good moods and wanted to give them a chance with the desserts, but the waitress informed us that we have to wait for at least 30 minutes because the kitchen is now very busy now. Indeed - in the meantime 4 (sic: FOUR) more walk-ins arrived. We paid and left. To cap it all: two days after the reserved date - when we also visited the place (we made a written reservation including time AND date) they called and told us that they are waiting as we made a reservation for today. And I was naive and thought that they called to apologise for their service.... Never again!

    Nice but not so good as expected. Slow service

  • 5/5 Bartosz 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant with elegantly presented dishes. Menu is intriguing but maybe not wildly interesting. I lacked the wow effect a bit. Don't know, maybe was expecting a touch more... Still, value for what you get is excellent, staff is extremely friendly, Polish choice of red wine very pleasant. Interior seems more cosy than the exterior. I would certainly come back here again...
