Fukier, Warsaw

This fancy restaurant is located in pretty renovated tenement house in the Old Town. Candlelights, old paintings, flowers, old oak tables and floors, fruit compositions on silver, crystals and antique furniture create unique and unforgettable warm atmosphere of old times. Our waiter was perfectly trained, fast, very gently (but smiling as well) and he knew more about food than I could expect. We were first treated (free) with wild boar pate, Polish style - unforgettable taste :-)!

The restaurant serves what I call Polish Nouvelle cousine: medium or large but not huge in size real works of art, cooking art in taste and aroma and visual art for eyes. Well, they offer what I call Polish, old Polish (of the past times - both royal and peasant's) and European cousine.

Unfortunatelly, the restaurant is probably the most expensive in Warsaw or even Poland. It's one of those places I always skip in more expensive countries than Poland and I usually wait long for a sponsor (business meeting) in Poland :-). But that time celebrating the very special event I paid by myself... a lot. From a Polish visitor's point of view it's either snobish place to show off or a place for "rich and famous", mainly for people of business or foreign visitors.

From a foreign visitor's point of view (from more developed and expensive countries) it may be a great place to eat like a queen or king at... "reasonable" price. Such restaurants in Paris, New York, Rome or London are high more expensive, I guess. Haha, princess Anna, Margaret - Queen of Denmark, Sarah Fergusson, Henry Kissinger, Icchak Rabin, Felipe Gonzales, Yoko Ono, Naomi, Claudia Schiffer, and at least a few VT-ers dined in "U Fukiera." Why not to join them? Expect to pay 300 - 400 zl (80 - 105 euros) for two people (soup, main course, dessert plus drinks/wine and a tip). Warning: some single bottles of wine may cost more there.

We had:

1. Polish white borscht flovoured with porcini mushrooms - delicious a bit acid taste.

2. Aromatic beef rolls game style with Silesian blue potato dumplings (92 zl) - FANTASTIC!

3. Whole roasted leg of baby lamb, perfumed with rosemary and thyms (98 zl) - FANTASTIC!

4. Crunchy, crispy spring salad (22 zl) - good but nothing very special.

5. Krakow Vienna cheesecake, extremely light and served with hot chocolate sauce (25 zl) - FANTASTIC!

Add some great Spanish wine (chosen by our waiter, I am not a wine expert) and... again that addictive cheesecake :-) I'd like to repeat it someday... Well, there are twice less expensive restaurants serving also great food in Warsaw.
