Warsaw / Dining


 

A top-notch French joint, Absynt (absinthe) has proved something of a runaway hit on the Warsaw restaurant scene. A warm and friendly atmosphere and good service make it a great place for a quiet evening of sophisticated relaxation. Each week there’s a different speciality menu—don’t miss the Breton.

 

Located in the basement of Zacheta Gallery, this place draws the arty crowd and a few international celebrities and can pride itself on winning Newsweek Polska’s ‘Best restaurant’ and ‘Best design’ awards for 2003. A great selection of malt whiskies, Cuban cigars and wines from all over the world. Excellent meat dishes and justly famous for its veal.

 

Bacio means kiss, which rather gives the impression that it’s the place to go for a romantic dinner. And why not? Done out like a Bohemian’s fantasy land, with all sorts of eccentric odds and ends or[name]nting the interior, this place will surely impress the gentler sensibilities. The food’s good, too, especially the renowned carpaccio.

 

Genuinely excellent Polish food and professional service in one of the swishest places in town. Belvedere is located in the old orangerie on the grounds of a former royal palace in Lazienki Park and is a perennial favourite with Warsaw’s movers and shakers. This is the place to go if you want to make an impression, but don’t expect to leave with any change in your pocket.

 

Done out like a sailing club and in an excellent riverside location, Boathouse inevitably has a fine selection of fish dishes. Since opening in 1998, it has become a firm favourite with Poles and expats alike, and during the summer diners can enjoy the rather fine garden. With higher-than-average prices, Boathouse tends to attract the local business and embassy crowd.
