The Big Smoke

Unique to Poland, at MOMU a one-of-its-kind smoker has won the hearts of a city!

There aren’t many more satisfying ways to conclude a meal than by slugging back a cocktail and then setting the empty down next to a board piled high with bits and bones and meaty debris – it is, if nothing else, the evidence of a successful feast. Clear in its concept and execution, at MOMU the onus is placed on food, people and good times – a combination that’s helped make it a beacon of quality on a crowded field.

So the food first: that’s a menu dominated by meat that’s cooked using the only smoker of its kind in Poland. Comforting and strangely familiar, these are tastes reminiscent of campfire nights: big, brawny, smoky tastes – towering Reuben sandwiches, juicy steaks, flawless bone marrow and wooden slabs brimming with meats from MOMU’s smokehouse. And then there’s the duck: considered a signature of the house, find yours served on a bed of cherry blossom, orange and grapefruit. With their ingredients sourced locally, it’s a place that embraces simplicity and nature. Nonetheless, there are some complications: take, for example, dessert – no-one should leave without first loosening their belts and ordering the extravagant chocolate souffle. It’s the very definition of indulgence.

With so much going right in the kitchen, it makes sense that the atmosphere follows. Always lively, find the sprawling, industrial interior festooned with artwork presenting the works of Poland’s upcoming painters, illustrators, sculptors and designers. And if any added impetus was needed, find that provided by a daily program of musical performances. You won’t regret visiting us!
