Amber Room, located within the Sobański Palace on impressive Av. Ujazdowskie, is both an architectural as well as culinary gem with an interior that spells absolute class. The menu comprises Polish cuisine with the personal touch and interpretations of Chef Robert Skubisz. His creativity has been honored over the years with a range of prestigious awards.

ALE GLORIA
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!

BEEF PEPPER NAZWA 99 NAZWA RESTAURANT BEEF RESTAURACJI RESTAURACJI N’N’PEPPER & BAR
Beef N’ Pepper, located in the center of town, has quickly established itself as leading steakhouse in Warsaw with a menu that is direct and to the point. Mostly used here is the finest-quality Polish beef, matured and aged for 28 days which makes the meat juicy, crisp and immensely flavorful. Items such as the T-bone, Black Angus, top sirloin, and rib- eye are exhilarating indeed, each bite conveying to the palate that this is truly outstanding! Further completing the equation here menu-wise are items such as the chicken salad with seasonal vegetables and sousvide eggs; and the beef tenderloin soup with cheese and chilli. The excellent dining experience at Beef and Pepper is significantly enhanced by the place’s wellequipped bar, affording guests a rich array of interesting whiskeys, bourbons, wines and cocktails that combine exceedingly well with the menu. A top-grade place indeed!

When Biały Domek, or The White Manor, opened its doors over a decade ago in the heart of Warsaw’s Old Mokotów, the motivating idea was to provide the experience of dining in an atmosphere that is increasingly being lost to history. Located within a historic house and its beautiful garden, dining here indeed imparts the experiences and traditions felt in a multi-generational family home. With a Polish menu that encompasses just the right breadth of dishes, the sense of being immersed in a true Polish manor is fully realized. A cozy interior, along with garden tables in the summer, makes the place an idyllic seting for a relaxed luncheon or a sumptuos dinner with friends and family, or with visiting corporate colleagues. A sense of welcome is further added to by the excellent service, always happy to describe the menu. This is indeed a musthave experience!

The interior with dark gloss combined with rawness of wood defines its cutting-edge modern intention, and reflects on the culinary direction of the place—a modern international menu suffused with elements of tradition that makes the gastronomic idea well rounded and complete. With an open kitchen at its core, Concept 13 inspires with preparations such as the teppanyaki— a great form of Kitchen Theater, and an outstanding selection of other inspiring dishes. All this may be accompanied by a selection from an extensive wine list. Concept13 is indeed that special culinary idea which was once only imagined, and now has actually come to be!

D. PAWELEK BRASSERIE WARSZAWSKA
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!

FINE DINING
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 icecream. A comprehensive wine list, and friendly service make Butchery & Wine a top selection!
D. PAWELEK ROZBRAT 20
When Daniel Pawełek, one of the best regarded restaurateurs in town, gets behind an idea it is sure to win acclaim; an appreciation that is for the long haul. This track of success is what Rozbrat 20 is clearly on, enhancing the quality of life substantially in the trend-defining area of Powiśle. Here breakfast has been given top priority, at equal notching with lunch and dinner. An array of wines, freshbaked breads and pastries are highlighted in an interior that is elegantly simple. The main thrust is focus on quality and an emphasis on innovative creations — from eggs with avocado paste, to steaks and salads with ingredients sourced from local suppliers who are equally faithful to the idea of organic, seasonal, and fresh. With a dynamic menu that changes daily, the added service includes the option to purchase outstanding wines to take away or to sip on the spot!

Daniel Pawelek, the talent behind stellar restaurants Butchery & Wine, Brasserie Warsaw, and Rozbrat 20, teamed up with Paul Demianiuk, one of the country’s finest sommeliers, to create Kieliszki na Próżnej. Located on Próżna, once the center of the Warsaw Ghetto, and now ironically Warsaw’s culinary cutting edge, Kieliszki is where wine plays first fiddle to what’s on one’s plate. The creative Polish menu here is traditional yet modernized and served with a “tapas attitude.” The creative fervor leads with an impressive wine portfolio from known producers, and whilst mainly from Europe the dominant source is the various wine regions in Italy. The main wall is adorned with a mural by Mariusz Tarkawian and is titled “Lexicon of 2015”---quite clearly a reflection of the fact that the vocabulary here is one of wine, and how it should converse with food. A remarkably refreshing place indeed!
D. PAWELEK KIELISZKI NA HOZEJ
When success occurs, it behooves that creative force to replicate! This is the reason behind Kieliszki’s expansion to a second location on Hoza Street. Kieliszki na Hożej brings its own incremental dose of magic to this culinary hotspot in Warsaw. Daniel Pawelek, has extended his collaborative effort with star Polish sommelier Paweł Demianiuk from Kieliszki na Próżnej (see opp. page), to add this fifth venue to his accomplishments. This is a “wine kitchen” as well, where “sipping” leads the “eating, where the goal is the delicate balance between what’s in the glass with what’s on the plate. Kieliszki’s impressive wine portfolio derives from the team’s relationships with leading small and medium Italy producers, and the menu here remains close to Polish traditions, with fresh creativity pervading right through from the main courses to the smaller snack plates that all follow the right wine!

Warsaw’s culinary trajectory was definitely lifted with the opening in 2013 of HOZA, the city’s first real Argentine Steakhouse with famous chef Michal Mizak at its helm. Located in the city’s heart in a building built in 1900 and which miraculously survived the War, the ambience here is encouraged by exposed brick walls, industrial period lamps, and befitting artwork. The historical bearings of the city thus combine with young, casual trends, and the sound of Latin jazz! Of course what’s truly special are the Argentinestyle steaks and super-fresh seafood complemented by a collection of over 150 wine labels stocked in its cellar. Spread over four rooms, the bar here has over 40 whiskeys, a club room, and a delightful private room for up to 10 guests; the place also has its own garden and parking in the inner courtyard. This is an outstanding venue where positive energy and friendly service makes it all so delightful!

This extraordinary range is apparent in dishes such as the trout marinated in vinegar; Żurek, or the rye soup with boiled egg and white sausage; the Bryzol or the fried beef served with baked potatoes and candied beetroot; and the simply delicious cheesecake with chocolate sauce for dessert.

Mokotowska 69, is the next culinary venue by Andrzej Rudnicki-Sipayłło, known from his landmark restaurant Merliniego 5. His over thirty years expertise, drawing from his work experience in New York’s finest restaurants, “brought” Manhattan to Warsaw when he opened Merliniego-5 in 2010. Restaurant and Bar Mokotowska 69, which opened in May 2016 in the center, inherits this success. Essentially specializing in seafood and steaks, classic Polish dishes with a contemporary interpretation are on the menu as well. The excellent, seasonal wine list comprising selections from all over, matches the dishes ideally on the seasonally varying menu. Items such as the halibut with carrot puree; the rack of lamb; the Black Angus rib eye from NYC’s Ottmanelli and Sons; and the Kobe style strip loin from Tajima, are indications of the place’s emphasis on top quality.

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!

IN WARSAW H15 BOUTIQUE HOTEL
The H15 Boutique Hotel, a 5-star boutique hotel in Warsaw’s center, is the repository of huge history. Built during 1892–1897, it was here before the First World War that Polish patriots organized secretly to regain Poland’s independence. In 1924 the building was bought by the Soviet Union, becoming an example of socialist realism with symbols of the ‘red star’ and the ‘hammer and sickle’, carved figures of peasants and workers, and the Soviet Union Globe above the first floor balcony. In 1941 the building was taken over by the Third Reich, paradoxically saving it during Warsaw’s destruction. Now, H15 Boutique has 46 individually appointed luxury rooms and apartments for short or long stays, with comfort levels beyond that of most luxury hotels in Warsaw. With the SPA which ensures the highest quality services, and fine dining at the Signature Restaurant, H15 is indeed a class act.
