Merged: High-end Restaurants in Warsaw: Ever Been to Them?

Has anyone been to:

Malinowa Restaurant Le Royal Meridien Bristol

The Polish Business Roundtable Club

Kurt Scheller Academy

La Rotiserrie Restaurant in Hotel Le Regina

Ale Gloria

Ancora Restaurant

The Palace Restaurant
?

If you've ever been to them, please tell me how it was. What food was there, what was the atmosphere, how much was the bill, etc.

It'd be super cool, thanks!

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [160]

Obvious troll is obvious.

Food / Siemieniotka [14]


That helps.


Cool story, bro.

Food / Siemieniotka [14]

'K

So, I guess no one actually knows anything about it. Right?

Language / How similar are Polish and Romanian languages? [75]

They are fairly different.

Romanian is a Romance language; Polish is a slavic language.

Food / Siemieniotka [14]

Cool beans.

Anyone else have something more to add? Like: taste, texture, recipe?

Polonia / Do Polish immigrants support Polish products? [8]


Poland does manufacture Dell computers and Fiats.

But beyond that, yeah I think the Polish diaspora buys Polish products when they can (vodka and beer are tops, but if they can get their hands on pottery, cheeses, kielbasy, etc. they will.)

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]

Both Poland's and Russia's populations are falling. Land isn't getting more scarce, it's becoming more available.

Food / WHY IN POLAND PEOPLE DON'T USE ICE? [142]

Yes, this is something that has infuriated and frustrated me. All those lukewarm drinks…

Food / What's your favorite Polish coffee? [73]

It's 90% instant.
Of all the stuff I love about Poland, I think its coffee selection in stores sucks.
It's more of a tea culture.

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

I think that Poland will open up and it integrates further and further into the EU. Within twenty years I can see them legalizing gay marriage and such.

Life / Can someone tell me about the reason behind being gay in Poland being wrong [148]

Poland is a pretty conservative country (but much more liberal that places like Russia.)

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]

I heard that a lot of gays and lesbians did flee Poland to go to the UK and elsewhere. Crazy stuff.

Food / Polish Preserves, any recipes? [14]

Mash up the fruit. Throw in a couple of cups of sugar and boil it all.
Put the hot mass into jars and seal them with lids. Cool.
You now have jam in airtight jars!

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]

Oh, those Ruskies, they wave their fingers at everyone over gas. One day, it's going to come around and bite them right in the ass.

Yeah, shale gas might be a boon for Poland, but it'll be years before there are enough wells up and running. (Plus they need to verify that there's enough to heat Polish homes.)

Travel / Best Gessler Restaurant in Poland [9]

I just looked it up on the Interbutts. Apparently Magda owns it.

I'll try to hit more of them up sometime, once I get more money though.

History / Gdańsk, Danzig: Was prince Mieszko the first to land there? [32]

It was a Slavic settlement at first. It was a German city for about 700 years. The Germans were really the ones who developed it and grew it in size and importance (same with Szczecin.)

Shhhhh… you hear that? *tap*tap*tap* That's the millions of Poles who will reply angrily, with angst-ridden messages and torrents bitter hate!

Life / What are the poorest regions of Poland? [15]

Eastern border lands and south-central countryside (I hear-tell.)

Travel / Best Gessler Restaurant in Poland [9]

She (which Gessler?) has an Italian restaurant?

Classifieds / English speaking AA meetings in Wroclaw? [23]

Bummer, man.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

Kaliningrad is the most fortified place in Europe and Russia's only western port that doesn't risk freezing over in the winter; they're not going to give it up without a fight (literally.)

Ukraine doesn't even want to give the Crimea back to Russia, so they probably aren't going to hand over Lwow. Also, Germany would probably want Wroclaw and Szczecin back (amongst other cities.)

Travel / Best Gessler Restaurant in Poland [9]

I've been aiming to go there (best tartar in Warsaw, I hear tell.) But also, it's expensive like all ****.


There are two of them, you know. Right? Besides, the food is awesome.

Most likely place to visit: Przekaski Zakaski. Good food, ****** (but cheap cheap cheap) drinks. I like the radio station they have in there too.

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

What are you talking about? The Poles hate Russia.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Wyborowa and Zubrowka are my favorites.

There are lots to choose from though.

News / Flood situation worsens in southern Poland [119]

Here's the situation from Warsaw:

News / The sale and drinking of alcohol has been banned in Warsaw and Krakow on weekends! [30]

Hey, I'll be in Warsaw tomorrow reporting about the whole memorial. I think the prohibition is partly for mourning, partly for crowd control (like at ball games where they stop selling beer after the 7th inning.)

Plus, everyone rides free tomorrow on the public transportation!

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]

Well, isn't this a contentious issue? I'm have mixed feelings about this whole thing (and I'm quite surprised that he would be buried there.)

Here's more (plus some pictures.): polishmeknob.blogspot.com/2010/04/plane-crash-after-effects-lying-in.html

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

I think all these conspiracy theories are rather silly.

polishmeknob.blogspot.com/2010/04/plane-crash-after-effects-conspiracy.html

That's my take on it.
