If you know of Merliniego 5, then you’ll know it as the source of arguably Warsaw’s top steak. So news that the same team have opened downtown has understandably created a stir. Occupying the rotunda that once housed Adler, this circular space has been given a loving retouch that’s... Read more

The return of Robert Sowa meets with acclaim… Warsaw, in case you haven’t noticed, has entered the Age of the Chef – and boy don’t we know it. Everywhere you eat, there you have it, the name of some cook being pushed in your face. It matters not if... Read more

Here’s a Warsaw first: a restaurant focused on celebrating the humble pig. Suspicions that Porkownia may lack something in the sophistication department don’t bear fruit – sprouting from the ashes of Jazz Bistro Piękna, the surrounds are chic and modern, not the blood-spattered butcher’s backroom you might otherwise expect....
