Located in the middle of Tamka
street, on the second floor of the Chopin museum, „Tamka 43” is not exactly the
place that screams out at you „come and eat here”, like most of the restaurants
on Foksal. It is definitely subdued. What discouraged me from going there for a
long time is the rather awkward location. However, when I finally took that
step I have never regretted it. The
service is courteous and knowledgeable.
The wine selection impressive; including some Polish white wines :) I always take the tasting menu there,
consisting of small 5 to 7 courses, and I must say that never any of the
courses have failed me (http://www.tamka43.pl/english/tasting-menu.php). The food is absolutely delicious, while
experimental, which cannot be said about such places as the Atelier Amaro, where the food is always
experimental, but not always that good.
The surprising combinations of
crayfish bisque with crème fraiche and deep-fried dill, or rhubarb consommé with
strawberries and coconut sorbet, may seem odd at first, but they come out beautifully.
The owners claim that Tamka 43 is
one of the best restaurants in Warsaw. I
would risk a statement that together with Nolita, it is one of the two best
restaurants in Warsaw.
