👍👍 Excellent surprise! We walked by it, and it looked so good. We were lucky to find the last open table. Ate a cold beet soup, cod fish sirloin, and tried a bunch of cocktails. Service was amazing! People often mention good, vodka, restaurant, service, great, dishes, dish, nice, meal, Warsaw,

    This gastronomy restaurant offers some traditional local food with very high standard. The menu has most of the classics and they recommend some vodka pairing options for each dish which is amazing! The quality of the food was excellent and the cocktails & vodkas were really nice. A bit pricey but it's worth the detour!

    This was a special during the Warsaw Fine dining week. Food was great, although expectations were to the sky. I am very happy they took in consideration my allergy. I'm more person of wine 🍷 with dinner, so votka was not my type of the drink. Anyway good experience

    Ruski pierogi with truffle are to die for. All vegetarian dishes pictured. Everything was delicious. Super fast service. Called ahead 10 min to reserve a table at 7pm on a Wednesday. Casual attire was ok, they let me in with shorts and a t-shirt. Everything pictured, plus two drinks came out to 308 zł.

    Wonderful meal! The fish was beautifully cooked, the cold appetizer dish for two was lovely and the pasta had large and delicious truffle slices. Highly recommend!

    This place is so good we went back twice on one trip to Warsaw. The food is unreal good. Everything is amazing but you cannot miss out on the beef stroganoff, herring and the pierogis. The service is amazing. Carolena was our waitress both times and she remembered every single thing we ordered from the first time when we showed up the second. Everything is so unique. I usually hate vodka but this place made me love it. I left with a bottle of their horseradish vodka (try it before you judge). This is seriously one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life.

    This restaurant is recommended by the Guide Michelin. I decided to visit this place on an early Sunday evening. As I‘m a vegetarian, there were not many things to choose from the menu, which are suitable for me, but that was totally ok. As a starter I ordered a salad with goat cheese and this came with some smoked beetroot and other interesting ingredients. I liked this salad! As a main course I had a cauliflower on some pea mousse, but I was missing the cherry tomatoes with rosemary as it was described. No doubt, the taste of this dish was great, but not exactly as specified in their menu. The dessert had also a good taste, but was presented sloppily on the plate and I was missing the seasonal fruits and the chocolate powder! The location is nice and hip and apparently they attach a high value on pairing the food with some extraordinary vodka. In my opinion the service was polite on the one hand, but a bit offish on the other. Nevertheless I would return to this restaurant and enjoy the good food! Prices were reasonable.

    Food is amazing. Literally, one of the best restaurants in Warsaw. We went there twice and had the same dish twice (picture) plus more but don’t remember. The service was great too and we saw a lot of tourists. Will be back for sure!

    Nice food and good atmosphere. Service depends highly on the waiter. Quite expensive for Warsaw.

    The food was good. The service was acceptable. The restaurant was noisy from other customers. One of the pieces in my dish arrived frozen from the inside, I guess the microwave failed midway...

    I found the food very good! The service needs improvement. Perhaps it's normal for Warsaw to have such level of service but as tourists we expected a bit more. Our waiter was nice and he was trying to be professional but he was slightly argumentative, the other waiterade some joke that was out of place. It was not bad or anything but it feels a bit strange.

    Special menu. Perfect service. Good champagne. Delicious vodka pairing with every meal. Definitely worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Monika K. 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Great place for a fancy dinner but not suitable for the people who do not drink :) They serve vodka to every dish (of course possible not to take it - but this is the concept of the place)

  • 5/5 Natasha R. 9 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Our dinner was a fabulous selection of modern Polish offerings, including herring that was simply perfect and truffle beef stroganoff that my daughter stated she‘ll dream about for the rest of her life. Opt in to try the perfectly paired vodkas (we stayed with getting a selection of appetizers to make our meal and try as many dishes as appealed). The food combined with the lovely, welcoming service made this a wonderful evening in Warsaw. We‘ll be back!

    Incredible experience. We had a small party there and our host worked with the restaurant to prepare a special menu. Amazing vodka and the waiter will explain a bit about each bottle, distillery, etc.

  • 3/5 Marija K. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    It was really nice that they changed the time of reservation, plus for that. But the the people who worked there is kind rude, when we went inside and said we have a reservation on name Marija , the guy was not polite at all, in some tone and annoyed face said - i don’t hear you . Then or jacket’s was taken rude . Hospitality i didn’t like , 4/10 Food - it was nice , but for a restaurant not so good in my opinion and also we pay lot of money, so good must be at least really good, there was missing flavours , for food I give 6/10 What was really nice that they put candle in my man cake ( I asked, because he had a birthday)

    Just dropped by for lunch as we were walking towards Stare Miasto. Maybe we caught the waiters off guard as it was Saturday and they’ve just opened. (12:30ish~ But still, it’s opened, so must be ready to serve customers.) The butler (mid-aged, supposed to be the most Senior at scene) took our jackets to cloak room and guided us to the far end corner of the restaurant. Which the heating was apparently NOT ON upon arrival (which I immediately regretted to let him take my jacket). When arrived at the table, judging from other table settings around the room, he kinda on purposely left us on THE TABLE that wasn’t ready!!! Seating feeling cornered, no water being served with drafts constantly flowing from the big window, no heating on and away from any heat. (Imagine going into a restaurant in winter which is -1°C today, seating right near a massive glass window with only a t-shirt on without heating. ) I did realised the other two younger waiters saw me shivering a bit so tried to attend to my needs. With the first one pushing a mobile radiator towards my direction yet got stopped by the Senior one. Finally the waiting served our plates throughout came over with a baby hot fan. 😑(First time in Poland, so I almost mistook it as Polish Tradition lol ???) Anyways, long story short, it was only like before getting our mains that someone (looked like the owner) came around checking the room, then FINALLY the lamps and heater were turned on. 🥲🥲🥲 So…I’ve been eating a meal in a supposed Michelin recommended restaurant atmosphere feeling colder than outdoors. After all, the other two waiters are nice and really attentive enough, foods are nicely served and tasted good. Regardless of what, I did still left a good tip (25%) to honour their services and hardworking. But seriously, if the owner/managing team ever saw this, I would like to address I would prefer that tips not go to the more senior one. (He really made me feel as if he doesn’t respect young independent lady though we had Zero Communication.) Honestly, I’ve never had a meal like this that feeling freezing and uncomfortable all way through and can’t wait to get away!

    Lovely place, beautiful interior, great service, nice food and vodka. The vodkas served to food are rather nalivka type or flavored - not vodka-strong, but really tasty (but not sweet). Overall great experience. They offer wine as well, so do not feel limited by vodka ;)

  • 5/5 Michał W. 2 years ago on Google
    Five star only thanks to cuisine. Lacking service deserves 0 stars. Especially if you are a vodka amateur you will enjoy this place. There is not many restaurants that offer such a wide selection. Food was great. We had black pudding in tempura, fried cauliflower and soups. Every dish tasted great. Service - waiter seemed to be annoyed that we even entered. Each course landed on a table with a bang (poor plates). Even though place wasn't even half full he couldn't flee form our table faster. When I was paying, waiter threw a lovely remark. Something in the lines of you won't need to clean the dishes (because the payment went through). And no, it was not a tone with which one makes a friendly joke. Also, we were not loud or rude in any way. Worth a visit for a food. Servicewise, I hope you will have more luck than we had.

    Fine dinning with alcohol pairing. From Michelin guide 2019. Food is good without any alcohol. Choice of duck, Dover sole, beef among main dishes. Recommended

  • 3/5 Mark 2 years ago on Google
    A chic and elegant interior. This restaurant is very much positioned to pair all dishes with vodka. The food was delicious, however towards the end of the night the service became a bit sloppy and impatient. For example the chef forgot the ice cream on a desert dish and I flagged this because I remembered the menu. Maybe it is the vodka! Also a hair was found in the food - I would have expected the manager to come and give a formal apology but this was not the case, they didn't seem to really care. Thankfully they took this off the bill. I would still revisit this place.

    Creative cocktails, exceptional starters with below average main dishes. How can the kitchen that serves perfect herring starter also serves terrible pork chop? The herring was served with a pleasant mixture of marinated roots and eggs, and the dumplings were tasty with the mustard sauce. The bread was one of the best sourdoughs I’ve tried, served with delicious truffle butter. However, the pork chop was a total failure. It was not crispy, not juicy, and flavorless. The pork itself was almost tasteless and super dry. The chicken with truffle was nothing special either, also lack of moist. The cocktails were good, you should definitely try if you like mead.

    Delicious Polish dishes with a gourmet twist. If you are looking for the best restaurant in Warsaw you found it!

  • 5/5 Jags 2 years ago on Google
    Very classy upscale restaurant. If you love vodka, this is the place for you.

  • 5/5 Rafal W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great idea for a restaurant. Pairing vodka with food. Food on it's own is very good. All the dishes are worth trying. Blood sausage and duck should be a good start. Some of the vodka pairings were spot on - like they one for pork knuckle. It's great that place like this exists, it's just a small shame it's quite expensive.

  • 5/5 Almi s. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food and service. Reservations highly recommended. Offer selected Vodka to each meal. For my taste selection was 50/50, probably to incorrect temperature. A must try restaurant!

  • 5/5 T T. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. We ordered the tartar, the Russian dumplings and the pork patty. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am not sure which Vodka I got (my polish is pretty bad), but it was paired with the tartar - needless to say it matched perfectly! The only negatives I have are that the atmosphere was rather on the plain side and there's more to be desired from the service, but all that really fades away once you indulge in the plethora of unique tastes those dishes offered
