Copernicus Restaurant located in beautiful Hotel Copernicus is a very small, cameral and friendly space with traditional modern Polish food. It serves for example delightful veal tongues with mango cavior or beef filet with fresh veggies. The interior is the same as hotel- old fresco on walls, wooden floors and ceilings. If you are looking forward to find real Polish food without french fries or these frigertor salads, but in great place, Copernicus is the right place to go!
Costes restaurant is located in Costes Hotel on Rue du Saint Honore and is fantastic. The interior, food, legs of waitresses… Perfection. The interior is kept in rich bohemian style full of fashionable parisian people and models. When you come in, you feel like in a elegant night club- it’s dark and luxurious. Inside there is a beautiful patio with open top, and around it are rooms for restaurant that is full of ornaments.
The food is delightful and scrumptious. My favourite- thai chicken spring rolls, butterfly chicken and of course tuna atlantic style! It’s in a soya and lime dressing with chilli peppers and lemon grass. Everything in this restaurant is perfect. And delicious! Thanks all to Costes brothers of course. J’adore!
Oh and happy Easter to all! This is a Costes Flower Shop recent bouguet of flowers in egg shape!
Kong is an architectural genius and at the same time culinary mistake! Lets start from the good site- Philipe Starck was the interior designer of Kong and he did a very good job. Hr revisted his Kartell classic the Ghost chair that is totally transparent and inspired with Old Era armchairs. He sticked on the back some amazing photos of women- a blonde European, and two Japaneese- one with purple hair and one with a elegant Geisha hairstyle! And the toilets are also fantastic! A big baby is sticked as a wallpaper in it!
And now the bad part. Service- horrible! If you put your jacket on the chair, the waiter “moans” at you “that you need to take this jacket off because it destroys the restaurants design” or when you come to the restaurant, just taking your place, from nowhere a waitress is rushing to you and asking “are you ready to order the food?”. Even if you still didn’t get the menu… Sick!
If talking about food… Poor. These were very normal European dishes, but all with wasabi, and lemon grass! Just to be more “Asiatic”. The plate of selection of rolls and tempura and meat…how was this connected? And how is it possible to spoil a spring roll? The beef carpaccio in Japanese Style… Aha. Beer Carpaccio in soya. Main course- tuna steak with… Tada, potatos, spinach and boiled carrot with ginger, wasabi and lemon grass! Horrible! :)
Le Village is a new restaurant that belong to Costes brothers, that are kings of restaurants in Paris- they own l’Avenue, Hotel Costes, Cafe Saint Germain… Known for “restaurants for Parisians” they opened new fashionable place called Le Village on Village Royal 25 Rue Royale next to Chanel and Dior. Everything there is tasty and fresh- I recommend the most the Thai Chicken Spring Rolls and fresh Tuna Tartar! The food is easy and not too expensive, and you can relax with other Parisienne people
Brasserie Warszawska is currently the most fashionable restaurant in Warsaw. It’s known for best quality, but simple food using best quality Polish ingredients and foreign goods like Dutch oysters or truffles. The interior is simple, while there’s a beautiful, old bar made of zinc. 60’s lamps ooze with Polish cinema old glamour. If talking of the food, it’s… awesome. Just perfect. The essential to try out? For sure take the signature plate of fried oysters for a try! When I initially put them into my mouth, they were so crunchy and delicate in taste. Meanwhile, others tried a beef tartar, and they loved it, too.
