I have trolled thru the previous posts on the topic of restaurants but what i was looking for is :
1. A list of the most exclusive Restaurants in Warsaw. 2. Should have a good selection of wines, grill, seafood etc. Could be a relatively new place that started around Euro2012. 3. The ambience should be great for a large group (10+) Christmas Dinner.
the CEO is expected from London got to fleece him.
Certainly the cream of the crop for the culinary connoisseurs but maybe lacks the ambiance for a Christmas dinner, it's not cheap either by any standards. 1000zl for 2 with their 5 moments menu, a glass of champagne and the vodka taster menu instead of wine. I dared not even look at the wine list.
I would suggest Ale Gloria next to the Sheraton. alegloria.pl
Your another sure bet is Fukier, smack in the middle of Old Town (Old Town Square, in fact). If they cannot provide ambiance and good food I can't know who can... and certainly will set your boss back a few thous. as well. :)
I had to arrange quite a few meetings in Poland and from my experience all of them preferred a good Karczma to some fancy restaurant, they can have better in their home country and are tired off. Little pampering, like an opulent diverse selection and excellent wine did help though.
Fukier is still good, though I prefer Stara Oranzeria.
Avoid Pod Gigantami - apart from being a favourite of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, they have several restaurants and make the food centrally and then distribute.
Funny how you mentioned every answer but mine. I am very disappointed. ;)
Berni,
A thousand apologies, i thought i had missed you and was planning to send you a PM. Thankyou for taking the time to post the earlier reply and also for this ''riposte'', i deserved it.
Jon not to split hairs I understood the Belvedere is in the Nowej Oranżerii w £azienkach Królewskic and the Stara Oranzeria is the building where they now loom carpets, I have not been to the Belvedere for about a year, is there also a restaurant in the Stara Oranzeria building by the car park area?
In my opinion one the top restaurants in Warsaw is Akademia Restaurant - it is very nice, romantic and elegant. They have delicious food, always fresh and huge choice of wines. Definitely a must - go on a culinary map of Warsaw!
