If one was ever in the need to suffuse romance into life, a visit to AleGloria would be very much in order! The bright interiors are the tasteful amalgamation of cream and strawberry, appeal of candle light, polished wood, and gleaming white laced table linen embellished with flowers. Famous restaurateur Magda Gessler is at the helm of affairs; her insights, her creativity, her culinary design, have made this place one of a kind where she has taken Polish cuisine to a new dimension. Tradition has been fused with modern ideas; the otherwise staple beetroot soup, barszcz, is elevated here multiple degrees with raspberry vinegar, black currant syrup, and served with white bean filled ravioli! With a vast selection of wine from its cellars, and an extensive selection of drinks, AleGloria is indeed Polish hospitality at its modern-day finest. An experience in a monumental setting!

NAZWA RESTAURACJIA. BLIKLE RESTAURANT
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.

Bistro Warszawa, located in the Old Town’s Main Square has clearly met its uniquely positive objectives very well indeed. These include being a place not falsely laden with “oldness” as are most in this area, instead being a modern venue with a bistro-like feel serving outstanding Polish fare which may also qualify as fine international cuisine! The menu includes excellent items such as the duck breast served with cucumber, mango and pomegranate; and the homemade pierogi stuffed with goose confit served with raspberry sauce. This place satisfies at all levels—refreshing interiors spread over a large space, an outstanding terrace on the Square, friendly service, and besides a terrific menu a lovely stockpile of wine, drinks, and innovative cocktails. Live music on occasion, makes this place a true event of going out with friends, family, or business colleagues!

BRASSERIE WARSZAWSKA RESTAURANT
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.

Czerwony Wieprz, or 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.

If a sense of history, architecture, and the lure of a bygone era sounds appealing then Pod Gigantami is truly unbeatable. Its name “Under the Giants” is owed to the two stone giants that have faithfully held upon their shoulders the entrance to this building which is an architectural masterpiece. The menu bridges Polish and Mediterranean influences and what emerges from this kitchen sets it in a league very much amongst the top in the city. Dishes are served unerringly by formal-attired waiters, and advice on choosing from the extensive wine list is happily provided by the sommelier.

NAZWA RESTAURACJISŁODKI...SŁONY 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!

NAZWA RESTAURACJITAMKA 43 RESTAURANT
Located within the same premises as the Chopin Museum, Tamka 43 has become the city’s new culinary icon; the reason is owner Paweł Kwiatkowski and Chef Robert Trzópek whose work experience includes NOMA and El Bulli, restaurants rated #1 and #2 in the world! What Tamka 43 offers is completely different fare with its surprising combination of flavors and Sous-Vide cuisine. Described as molecular cuisine, the dishes here are an art form retaining most or all of their nutritional value. The menu is short and changes frequently to reflect only fresh and seasonal Polish and European products. The selection of wines with one’s order is best left to the fine expertise of the staff who know what goes with the refined flavors of the food. This is indeed a place which Warsaw is proud of; a modern restaurant representing the world’s top culinary standards!

U FUKIERA RESTAURANT
U Fukiera, is a townhouse restaurant that has indeed become an ornament in Warsaw’s Old Town Square. Magda Gessler’s signature is everywhere, from fresh flowers, antiques, and art, to the excellent culinary experience. Magda Gessler had the vision over fifteen years ago to present that what Poland had to offer in terms of style, and remarkable culinary traditions could rival and surpass any other. 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!

Restaurant Thai-Thai, located in the awe inspiring building of the National opera in the center of Warsaw has indeed become a valuable addition to the city’s culinary landscape. The finest ingredients that define Thai cuisine all come together under the genius of Chef Sanad Changpuen; his experience includes heading the Oriental at the Warsaw Sheraton. Appetizers and dishes such as the shrimp or chicken satay; spicy beef or squid salad; tom yam kung or the spicy shrimp soup with lemongrass and coconut milk; the beef, chicken, duck, fish, and seafood in various curries and forms, are all bouquets intensely packed with rich flavors. The belief here is that the best companion to Thai food is wine; diploma ASI sommelier Paweł Demianiuk is at hand to advise on the selection of these to make dining here a truly comprehensive experience.

Newly opened White Sushi located on Warsaw’s prestigious Krakowskie Przedmieście a few steps from the Presidential Palace, is redefining the way a sushi restaurant is perceived. Gone is the forced superimposition of faux-Japanese interiors that actually distract from the content of one’s plate. Here, as the name suggests, there is the pristine backdrop of a white interior, where the mind gets a clean slate to simply savor and judge the immense quality of the offerings here. The delicious salmon tartar, salad with shrimp and avocado, and of course a refined array of fine sashimi and sushi are a treat for two reasons—the skill of he sushi masters behind the counter and the quality of ingredients as far as freshness and appropriate cuts are concerned. White Sushi stands ready to satisfy on all levels! Jan Smereczyński invites!

The mission of the Fryderyk Chopin Museum is to propagate the great composer’s life and work to a wide audience by capturing the social consciousness of Chopin’s identity as a unique European institution. 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.
