Czerwony Wieprz - Warsaw

Worth the higher price, I was recommended this place by a boss in Australia who comes to Poland a lot has Polish heritage. We had boar pate, pickled herring the duck. Just so, so good. The duck was probably the best I have ever eaten in my life. Also added some grilled vegetables potato dumplings (basically, super fluffy gnocchi . The pate herring dishes were also very nicely balanced. Our waiter Micaej (I think that’s how to spell it! was funny very helpful which really added to the meal.

This place has been themed Socialist and makes a good show of it. Well done! The prices are tourist-oriented, so be aware this is not a cheap eat. But it 's a good eat, and staff is well trained and friendly. Much better than any of the city-center traditional cuisine restaurants. I recommend coming for dinner. The only reason I don 't give 5 stars is that they went out of Sauerkraut, which I personally think is a no-go.

Service was good and switched on. Space looks good and traditional outdoor could do with a facelift. Food was good but not amazing. Soups great specially the cold beetroot soup, dumplings we've had better, fish (grilled) was dry/overcooked. Sides were also very good. Wine is waaaaay overpriced. A bottle of wine was half our bill and we had the cheapest wine in the sparkling section.

Anything listed in the New York Times’ 36 Hour series is to be taken seriously. It’s why we stopped in for a Sunday dinner around 18.00 in August. Here’s our experience. 1) Food: Everything was excellent. We ordered the chicken soup and pasta for our six-year-old daughter. My wife and I ordered the cup or borscht. It’s just broth but delicious. We got a variety of dumplings and the fried cheese. 2) Drinks: Beer, wine, juice, they have it all. I ordered their “Bruce Willis” cocktail, a recipe from the actor. It was refreshing. 3) Service: Candidly, it was abrasive. Our server was distracted and when we wasn’t, he was forceful. He told us what we should order without listening to our likes and dislikes.

I've waited three long years to return to Warsaw and eat the best pork knuckle I've ever eaten to date… and I've eaten more than my fair share of pork knuckles across many countries and many cities… on a quest of sorts to seek out the perfect pork knuckle. Three years later, this is still the best. Thank you Czerwony Wieprz and thank you Daniel for taking great care of me.
