Best of Warsaw 2020: Best Restaurant

Rozbrat 20

ul. Rozbrat 20

Not for the first time Rozbrat 20 finds itself coming up trumps and winning the big ’un. For this, blame Bartosz Szymczak, a chef whose precise eye for detail transforms scrupulously sourced local ingredients into dazzling plates of big-hearted taste.

Dividing the year into eight seasons, Szymczak’s menu is a balanced but highly creative work that involves such choices as marinated ribbons of kohlrabi served with grapefruit sorbet or tender pork belly resting in a glossy slick of cider sauce; light, harmonious but always full-flavored, this is cooking to return for time and time again.

It helps, too, that this chef’s A-game feels elevated that extra bit by the chic, casual, contemporary design and a brilliant front-of-house team who’ll steer you around wine choices that mix global big guns with bio-dynamic sips and domestically produced tipples.

Quite simply, it’s the perfect restaurant – when this madness comes to a close, you can bet this is the first restaurant we’re sitting down in!
