"U Kucharzy" - restaurant Reviews

Disaster!! Loved this place, but after our last visit will never come back. We were waiting for appetizers (tatar) for 40 mins (during this time no one was coming up to us) and they came only after my visit to the kitchen. No one apologized for the delay. Later the cook spilled the sauce on my skirt - again no apologies. In the middle of the lunch the drinks were over (water and wine), but no one ever came up to ask if we need more. No one ever offered a dessert or asked if we liked the food (which was btw also not good - my fish filet was full of bones). The waitress behaved herself as if we owned her smth and was really pissed (without hiding it) whenever we were asking anything. NOT RECOMMENDED ANY MORE!!!!!!

I lived in warsaw for 3 years and this has always been amongst my favorites. Few years ago they moved to the arsenal loosing a bit the atmosphere of the old location, but still is a great place for the taste of its great polish cuisine and the great charm and atmosphere. It is a great evening in warsaw.

Delicious Polish cuisine, service at a high level. I recommend !!

Very good goose and tartare medium pies
But as usual it was nice

Delicious food and friendly service. I especially recommend lunch at a very attractive price.

It's expensive for sure, it was also tasty in total, but a portion of soup for over PLN 20 is so small that the massacre (literally 10 spoons). I recommend this place only to people who have nothing to do with the money because to eat, you need to spend about 150-200 PLN per person.

Sunday afternoon summer and in a pub of emptiness ...
It bodes badly, but when a man meets with friends in a particular place, he keeps his word.
We sit in the patio at a slightly unstable table with slightly disintegrating chairs, we get the cards with the proviso that some of the specialties are over and the waiter will consult in the kitchen, what else is there.
Interesting approach, because we did not know if it was a joke or a sophisticated form of advertising?
There were pates and herring and goat cheeses. There was a sirloin and duck. The tap was not there and the fish was not good, so the waiter was not kidding.
Wine - argentino, the waiter praised waaaarliiiwieee ....
And he was right too!
In total, it was quite specific - it is elegant, it is not at ease, nobody jumps or ostentatiously ignores, correct dishes, because of good ingredients, but like a canteen.
Is it a good idea for a Sunday afternoon with friends?
Well, there are other places in Warsaw :)

Very long waiting time. Dishes served at different speeds so some had to wait for the other. Expensive. They advertise themselves as Polish cuisine and the service does not even understand Polish what is said to them. The pork chop is just salt.

Vegetarians recommend! Meals also for meat dishes, probably also tasty. Professional chefs, and service. Dinner by the sounds of the piano ... Check this atmosphere!

Kind of disappointment. I took my American and British colleagues to enjoy Polish fine dining. However, the restaurant had no table for our booking. They look surprised when I pointed our booking in THEIR book. They asked us to wait at the bar for fifteen minutes. Later, the service was rather slow and done by random waiters. It was a problem to ask any waiter for anything as they been avoiding an eye contact. We had to ask three times even for the final check. Finally, one waiter publicly told off another waiter to bring the check. The food was OK but quite heavy, greasy and I would say not impressive. Steak tartar was very good to be fair.

If you are looking for an inconspicuous place for a culinary adventure close to the center, this place seems to be the perfect place. Inconspicuous dishes guarantee interesting taste, while the service works at a very efficient level. I recommend to all food lovers

Super :) phenomenal service, phenomenal food ... I recommend :)

Nice place, waiters are not always overwhelmed, but they are very nice. Head of the extra room. Tasty dishes, but poorly seasoned. Prices adjusted to the place, main courses for around 70 PLN.

Very good place, positioned to be embeddes in the past of the Polish history, sociali times in particular. But it is a good news as they treat it as a theme and serve some great food. Steak tartar is superb, so is goose and fish soup. They have a very good service and treat customers with the right level of respect. Prices are on the upper Warsaw level. Recommended.

All was we ate was very good. Service sometimes a bit slow or something gets mixed up. But you feel this is a cheff place"u kucharzy". Defiantly wort a visit. Prices for main course between 40-50 zloty.
Have been there many times.

Cozy, with a unique atmosphere. The cooks actually prepare part of the food at your table! Really amazing experience

Iconic restaurant. Delicious food. Open kitchen. The way of serving is very effective. The cook cuts the food and places it on our plate while standing at our table. I especially recommend the duck, tartare and escallops. Cool cult service, only elderly people, which gives the atmosphere of this restaurant. The only drawback is the prices that are quite high.

Best tartare I've ever had. But if you sit too close to the band, it's too loud.

I didn't get the starter, well, everyone can forget it. Main course at bar level. Atmosphere lackluster. The size of the dishes is a mockery or a good joke. Only water for meals is the right size, and the price is that it comes from Antarctica.

Best tartare in the world though not with all the cooks. But if you are lucky you will never order a tartare anywhere else.

Sometimes you have to wait for good things. Tasty and in Polish :)

Excellent food. Very posh, and the chefs cook in front of you.

A modern place so not as much 'local charm' but the food and service were great.

Big open kitchen at the entrance of the restaurant. Dishes "constructed" and served in front of diner's eyes straight from the pan or pot. Very experienced and polite staff. Memorable culinary experience.

This is the invention of the Cooks Al Gessler Sad because his days are long gone only dust dirt and muck The restaurant runny dirty Cooks some accident rather Waiters pensioners All strange smacks the mouse Never again I will not mention the food because I would prefer this kitchen do not watch

The place has its own climate, the kitchen is decent, but without revelations. Very nice service.

Great food and friendly staff. An environment very much alive. Food is prepared among the guests, pretty fun that things are not so stiff. Unfortunately the local becomes very noicy during the evening, so conversations suffer since it gets hard to hear what your friends say.

Great atmosphere! Fantastic professional musicians. Had a great pleasure spending an evening there.

Definitely a favorite place! The decor is revelation, consistent. Top level service! Food? Story! It's harder to find better in Warsaw! Short, seasonal card, every dish charms with taste;) we come back there whenever we want to be sure that it will be a great evening;)

Best atmosphere! Definitely Plus for the open kitchen. Tenderloin sauce tasted to everyone, but I'm not sure if a flavor enhancer has been added there, if so on the downside, because it causes allergic reactions in many people (including me). Anyway, it goes away from using chemistry in the kitchen. The art is to bring out the taste by natural means. Bread for an appetizer is maybe it better not to be .... Stale and tasteless, rather buy, which is a pity, because at the beginning spoils the impression and man begins to stress that the rest of the dishes will be just as cool.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by this place, I never associated it with good cuisine, but here comes a surprise :) Nice atmosphere, fresh products, nice service and the additional advantage is the fact that the kitchen is open and you can see how the chef is preparing your dish: )

No, no, and not once again. The biggest culinary disappointment for many years.

Nothing special in the courtyard, I did not recommend it

Good place, everything served table-side, so you can see how your dish is constructed. I can recommend steak tartare, chopped from a single piece of meat. Seasoning on point. Price-wise place is not cheap and portions are rather small. Still, worth visiting.

The decor and the location are nice. The staff is very welcoming. The service was also very pleasant. The waiters bring the pots and plate the food in front of you. They have an open cuisine so you can see the chefs working. The food was correct, nothing exciting but well executed. It could be more flavorful and more raffined as well (I'm not a big potato guy). The terrine de canard, the soups and the tartare were very good. We had a very good time though. The restaurant has an orchestra and a good cave...so everything works just fine.

Very tasty food, great served. Sensational service.

THE LARGEST DEBT - THERE ARE ONLY FOR STUDS THAT STYLIZE THE Pseudo-fashionable WARSAW

Restaurant with atmosphere. Well-prepared dishes freshly prepared and tasty. I was a guest so I do not comment on prices. There is a garden / veranda during the season. Popular fashionable place so you should order a table.

Very good restaurant. Good service and nice waiters. The food is very good.

The decor is ok, the service is very chaotic and unpleasant (although this is supposedly the atmosphere of the pub - I can understand it). However, after the company's Christmas Eve organized "at Chefs", most people had gastric problems. I strongly advise against!

I have eaten in Gessler''s restaurants in Sopot, Torun and Warsaw. All 5 Stars with Warsaw 5 Stars +. In Warsaw, you must eat at U Kucharzy.

Retired waiters completely unfit to work. Cold food. Instead of wine ordered, the waiter put it on the table next to us, which was shining with dirty plates after guests ... After a few minutes we guessed ourselves that it was our wine and we took it. The waiters in dirty to the limit aprons and jackets. The peak of the summit was when, at my request for cutlery, which we forgot to serve to the cake, the waiter, grandpa, took out forks from our pockets before our eyes and gave us !!!!!! Generally, we treated this adventure to laughter and in total I haven't laughed so much for a long time, but the level of the pub is zero ... Below criticism. The food was bad cold is not completely adequate to the price. The only thing it was delicious meringue pie. Rest bottom.

I heartily recommend, great atmosphere, delicious food service very professional. Thank you and see you.

Fantastic Polish food, impeccable and friendly service.

If you can use rightly, qualitatively and pleasantly "here the time has stopped", then this moment has come. I love places with soul and good food And this is the restaurant where I finally felt wonderful because of the atmosphere, quality and taste I highly recommend it. Such a good tartare, prepared in front of your eyes, quickly but thoroughly (only by few guidelines) by the Chef - World Championship.

Perfect driving, beautiful interior and fantastic service!

This is not a restaurant. This is an amazing experience. Food put on the table from pots, chop the tartare at the table. Professional service also speaking in English. An ideal place for a dinner with a foreign guest or an anniversary with my wife. I will definitely come back despite the high prices.

Kuchnia i serwis na bardzo wysokim poziomie!

Very good cuisine, great service, even show cooking for dessert!

Fantastic, authentic place, located in one of the few historical buildings in town. Best for official, corporate, family or romantic dinner, menu and personnel are best of the best. No immediate parking, Highly recommended.

Amazing food, great service, friendly staff! They serve traditional food with modern touch. I was in love with each flavour! Many vegetarian options as well. Don't forget to order some vodka to go with your food!

Cuisine, service, atmosphere EVERYTHING is delicious

A very long time to wait for the waiter and ordered dishes. Twice we had to remind you that we want to place an order. Only very good tartar, cote de boeuf, very stringy and unevenly fried, beetroot and herring nothing special.

Tragedy .... from entering the reserved dinner ... waiting time 1.5h. Guinea fowl broth ... overcooked pasta ... for zander main course .... mini portions .. another hour .... served tragically .... for dessert we wait ... probably meringue is just baking ... .. only a tasty appetizer - tartar .... I note that it was not a tasting menu

Climate place. Moodzonka smaczne.Tatar, herring for appetizer. Delicious dinner. The cheese was not enough because I ran out but widelczykow was enough for everyone.Mila atmosphere with great muzycy.Polecam.

Tasty real Polish cuisine in a very nice atmosphere. The open kitchen allows you to watch the chefs "in action" and the service is usually good, the old lady who works with great enthusiasm and professionalism is very nice you can come to the chefs just for her presence in the team!
I recommend live music on Friday and Saturday evening.

It broke down badly. The menu is not the same, the location is much less prestigious and the prices have gone up. It is a joke to offer a lunch menu when neither drink nor dessert is included. This was not the case in Europejski.

A very pleasant atmosphere. Fantastic food and a very original way of serving food. I recommend the cheesecake for dessert, it melts in your mouth. A well-deserved Michelin star!

Simple yet delicious Polish food, good atmosphere & live music

Fantastic place with very good and tasty food with dishes being completed by the servers on your plate which is a part of the experience. Beef tartar being made besides your table and served directly after being finished. Been many times, will return for sure.

Stuff not very friendly
Food average
Long time to wait for the waiters and food

I recommend herring. . Tartare chopped at a table. Steaks with young bulls and Baczy ski vodka for taste. Generally for 5 .. because I had free parking by car until the morning.

Food very good, service OK, housing conditions poor.

good food, the waitress is not an ordinary student employed in the first roundup. is able to advise and describe in an amazing way how a meal is done. The method of administration is also very interesting. The prices are a bit higher but I think it's worth it.

Tasty food, but small portions. Prices fired into space. The waiters do not know what is on the card. The service could be a little better and faster. On the plus side, free paring is available for customers. This is not a place you must return to.

Simple dishes in a great performance. The atmosphere is casual, sometimes too much :) A good place to talk freely. Company bill.

It's an out of this world experience, an institution in and of itself more than just a restaurant

Cool, but if they have vipa, they have other customers in the doop.

Fantastic place to have dinner! Local polish flat with amazing flavor. The Dumplings and Borchardt was the best I have have had with so a rich flavor.

My favorite restaurant in Warsaw. No Schikimiki cuisine, they are classic and very exciting creations.

Nice service but. Lack of organization and chaos among service staff. After ordering another glass of cola, I did not get a new glass, the ashtray was not replaced at all, I had to go for the coffee sugar myself. As for the dishes. I do not recommend meat salted and burned in scions. Good for it was the tartar is the only thing you can recommend. The restaurant considers a higher-end customer. Unfortunately, I didn't go out of my way or promised that I would be calm and I wouldn't make a brawl, but I should do like Gesller in my programs, fuck a plate and leave this restaurant.

Fantastic food. The only minus: I was in a stuffy, warm day and the place was also stuffy and too warm.

The service took care of every detail of our dinner. Full professionalism. Food melts in your mouth. I can not fault anything. Well, my favorite tatar.. I am waiting for my next visit to Warsaw and this wonderful place.

Every time I come back to Warsaw I have to have dinner in this fantastic place. The veal tartare, asparagus, veal escalopes .... the menu always changes. Book a table near the kitchen and enjoy watching the chef

Good food and great interior. Seemingly, a place with an atmosphere until the waiter invited us to leave the place because more customers were waiting. During the conversation and a nice time with my guests, I felt ashamed for the service of the restaurant. For the first time in my life, a waiter suggested I leave the place.

The production is good as well as delicious. In the open kitchen, dishes are served at the table.

Affordable prices, nice customer service. I recommend visiting

Zander is too much sauce. Beef cooked just as much had a horseradish flavor rather than meat.

Great service! It's the kind of place where each of the waiters is the host.

You want to remember childhood and the old taste, you have to go there .... I recommend 100%
