One of the reasons I love living in Warsaw is the expectation that things will get better, and they actually do. On the dead stretch of Zurawia street, a new place has appeared that invites inside with the big window panes, and a bright, clean, if a rather austere interior.
The service was brisk, as there were not too many people inside. This time around, we decided not to order from the selection of today’s specials but from the menu. For starters, we went with the pumpkin risotto, and a vegetable tomato soup with croutons and parmesan. Both were very good. Buying a soup at any restaurant is always a rather risky proposition for me, as I have a sensitive stomach that detects any “enhancements” that the chef may add to it. This one was very tasty (and safe), with a touch of parmesan making a difference. The risotto was done perfectly well (it’s nice to see the chefs have learned to make a proper risotto; I am still waiting for a universal approval of the al dente pasta…).
My companion has stated that to test a new place one always has to order a steak, as it is a simple dish, but the one truly testing the quality of ingredients and skills of the chef. The steak was rare. The meat was perfectly prepared and perfectly tasty. So was my leg of lamb with the parsley puree and vegetable ratatouille.
Overall, a great experience for lunch, but... then I went to dinner couple of times, and:
- the pasta was basically glued together;
- the fish swam in the water on the plate.
And I really wanted to recommend this place... I guess I can recommend it for lunch, but the dinner time offer seems rather uneven
