First things first, this place is expensive. For somewhere that features in the Michelin Guide but as of yet doesn’t have any stars, it’s very pricey. Also relative to everywhere else in the city, it’s expensive.

The food however is wonderful, it gives you a look into Polish cooking through the years and in my case the dishes were adapted to be vegetarian. There is a focus on local ingredients and this is highlighted by the spoon of honey that is produced within the city of Warsaw. After 22 courses, you are left feeling stuffed. I must also highlight the cucumber sours cocktail that was amazing and unlike anything I have had before.

Now onto the negatives. The first was that when seated I was asked what I wanted to drink but my friend who I was with was just ignored and only 10/15 minutes later when they came to explain the menu did someone ask what he wanted other than drink. The second was that many diners were invited into the kitchen to see the recipe books. I have also seen other reviews here saying they were invited in. For some reason, we were not.

I think it is small touches like this that are restricting the place from getting it’s well deserved stars.
