JAREMA
Plac Matejki, where Jarema is located, is named after 19th century painter Jan Matejko who enshrined many of the glorious traditions of Polish kings and their victorious armies. Jarema enshrines yet another Polish tradition—kresowa, the cuisine in focus here. Originating from the eastern borders of historical Poland, an area known as Kresy, Polish dishes combined under eastern influences to constitute what is served here; such as exceptional lamb cutlets; quail stuffed with figs; pierogi with liver and grits; and a standard favorite, bigos served under the inspiring title of Great Master of the Royal Hunt Bigos! A three-roomed interior provides a cozily matched setting to the menu which varies with the seasons and marks the traditions that are tied to them. With Michelin’s two forks and spoons rating, summer garden seating, Jarema is an excellent experience!

Located in a landmark location in the heart of town, Restaurant Pod Roza (which translates to “Under the Rose”) has over the last 20 years garnered an immense reputation. Serving a menu that has French cuisine as its influence, the thrust here is culinary creativity with the use of local, Polish ingredients. With a foundation rooted in classic cuisine, the emphasis here is to always go the extra mile; what emerges on one’s plate therefore is the epitome of freshness, flavor, and “authored” creativity, of Polish traditions combining with French classics. The arched interiors is an apt setting, transporting one’s mind to a long-lost era! A meal here may be accompanied by fine wines as the place boasts its own vinoteka; its wine collection having won awards from the prestigious Wine Spectator World.

A wine list of over 200 ensures that one’s menu selections will be well matched with what one chooses to sip. Desserts range from ethereal sorbets to chocolate soufflÊ served with peppermint ice cream, or simply the choicest chocolate truffles.

Miód Malina—“Honey Raspberry” is a term used in colloquial Polish to express delight! This Michelin Guide recommended Polish restaurant excites at all levels. Spread over two hall-like rooms, its warm rustic interior is made cozier by a large wood-burning oven, and fresh flowers illumined in an abundance of candlelight. Menu highlights include the special oscypek cheese with cranberry jelly; roasted duck with marjoram with roasted slices of apples and cranberry jelly; lamb chops; and desserts such as the racuchy, which is a homemade apple pancake served warm with a tempting vanilla and caramel sauce—all wonderfully outstanding. With a carefully chosen wine list, a wide selection of liquors, and a friendly staff, Miód Malina offers true delight indeed!

Meat is flown in especially from Argentina, as well as from the US and Australia, each cut individually seasoned to impart authentic favors so as to deliver truly high-quality dining. Popular items include appetizers such as the empanadas with meat or vegetable filling; and main dishes such as the taste of three cuts of Argentinean prime beef with tenderloin, sirloin, and rib eye; the T-bone porterhouse; and the succulent entrecote. A wide selection of wines, and a uniquely special menu comprising single malts--from Scotland, Japan, and Taiwan—makes Pimento all the more enticing.

POD ANIOLAMI
Pod Aniołami, which translates into Under the Angels, is located on what is known as the Royal Route, impeccably delivering its history. In the restored chamber upstairs, grand receptions are organized amidst the splendor of 18th-century paintings! Starters such as the carpaccio of smoked goose breast with skin, served with cranberries; mushroom soup with noodles. The grilled sirloin with capers and rosemary; the huntsman’s wild boar steak, marinated in juniper sauce, grilled over beech hardwood fire, served with grilled bacon, green pepper and red cabbage with raisins in wine, are all exceptional. A beech-wood grill serves a wide array of meats to be had perhaps in the medieval-style courtyard garden that’s open all year round. Desserts include sernik, the Polish cheesecake; or szarlotka, which is the local apple pie. Pod Aniołami is indeed a culinary experience from when real nobility paraded along the Royal Route!

Desserts such as the chocolate mousse with sour cherry sorbet delightfully complete the gastronomic equation. Filip Kisiala and Kinga Dyląg advise guests on the choice of wines, as well as manage the graceful, apron attired service team. Szara also serves a broad-ranging breakfast daily from 8 a.m. until 12 noon. A true class act!

By the way - Restaurant, a refreshing Italian eatery in a largely residential part of town achieves two things—It shows that top culinary quality can be achieved so long as the interest is there to achieve it, and that wonderful restaurants do exist away from the usual tourist areas of the Main Square and Kazimierz. This place offers an inspiring interpretation of Italian; it is heavily focused on dishes made with the freshest of seafood. Indeed the owners get their produce from the fishing town of Chioggia, close to Venice. The mantra here is that authenticity must combine with top quality ingredients, that he wine list must add to the merit, and that the whole ambience must reflect true and honest hospitality. Not surprisingly, the service staff is well informed and makes one feel thoroughly welcome. By the way - Restaurant is indeed a must-have dining experience in Krakow!

IN WARSAW HOTEL WARSZAWA
When history and an inspiring vision for the future converge, great things emerge and are born. This can surely be said about the newly opened Hotel Warszawa, once the tallest building in the land when it came to be in 1934, known then as The Prudential. A symbol of the Warsaw Uprising, it withstood the onslaught of the Nazis in 1944, yet stands transformed today. Its rebirth borders on the spiritual, the reincarnation of a monument’s soul into a higher form, now as a superluxurious hotel for the world to admire. Vision and labor has melded marble, with bright chromes and warm wood, with original concrete ceilings in harmony with the new, all coming together to create a sense of unique elegance. The emphasis here is on relaxation and renewal; topnotch restaurants, a spa with treatments, a fitness centre, and a pool all make Hotel Warszawa stand taller than the rest!
