NAZWA RESTAURACJIA. BLIKLE RESTAURANT
If there is a famous Polish cafe that defines history then one needs to visit. A.Blikle, in existence since 1869. Nowadays, more of a café cum brasserie, this institution which has been run by the Blikle family for five generations offers a synthesis between Polish and French cuisine. While its “café aspect” needs no introduction with its wide spectrum of offerings – desserts, famous donuts, cheesecake with raspberry, fine coffees and teas, its brasserie is demonstrating the same sense in its food offering. The mushroom soup with dumplings: the wheat and buckwheat pancakes served with salmon, caviar, or herring; duck in various recipe formulations and the St. Jacob mussels are good selections. Breakfast served all day. A.Blikle always lives up to a quality experience.

BRASSERIE WARSZAWSKA RESTAURANT
The word brasserie implies a relaxed, upscale setting, professional service, white linen, a simple yet comprehensive menu. Brasserie Warszawska is of course more than that, and is reflective of the combined traditions of Warsaw and Paris, suffused perhaps with elements of the new European modernity. The dishes on the menu, such as the beef fillet with dauphine potatoes and spinach, emphasize simplicity; yet simultaneously reinforce the focus on quality of ingredients, methods of preparation, elegance of appearance, and heavenly flavors. The staff here is passionate about what they do; there is an implied guarantee of service and genuine hospitality. The restaurant has an outstanding bar with original-design stools, champagne and fine cocktails; there is a private room ideal for groups of 12 to 24 guests as well. Brasserie Warszawska is surely an uptick on Warsaw’s culinary map!

BUTCHERY & WINE RESTAURANT
Butchery & Wine has become the only restaurant in Poland to be awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, which implies good value for money and which represents a favorite of the Michelin Guides. Speaking to owner Daniel Pawelek it is abundantly clear that his objective is for Butchery & Wine to be known as a place in Warsaw’s center where guests can enjoy outstanding food from a thankfully short menu—this aspect is extremely uncommon and intelligent. Appetizers and dishes such as the roast bone marrow, a classic; seared scallops with boudin noir; Bavette steak with shallots; and cote de boeuf, are all outstanding, perhaps to be followed by dessert such as the spiced pear and apple crumble with vanilla ice-cream. A comprehensive wine list, and friendly service make Butchery & Wine a top selection!

The legendary Café Bristol Café, situated in the very heart of the city, is an integral part of Le Meridien Bristol Hotel. For years a favorite meeting place for both Warsaw’s visitors and its locals, it has welcomed patrons since 1901. With interiors styled in Viennese elegance, this is the place where one can enjoy outstanding coffee and desserts from its own in-house bakery throughout the year. The menu changes with the seasons; late autumn-early winter is a time for the stuff of Polish orchards, so cakes with apples, plums and pears are outstanding, as well as there is a greater an emphasis on salads, fruits, and light meats. No surprise therefore that this place has come to be a place where social and business meetings always go well! Note: Breakfast starts at 8 am, and in December, Christmas dishes will be available for takeout.

The salient fact about Lebanese cuisine is that it is truly Mediterranean, with healthful ingredients and preparations that emphasize the use of fresh ingredients. Le Cedre is the only Lebanese purveyor in Poland of its class, with a 16-year history at Aleja Solidarności 61. Offering a diversity of flavors--cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, and mint--one can actually get a fine sense of Lebanon’s culinary traditions here. Le Cedre is not only a place for a delicious cuisine but also which offers a virtual excursion to a resort country--a large collection of Lebanese wines, original interior design, and Arabic music in the background, all contribute immensely to the feeling!

TOMO SUSHI RESTAURANT
Tomo Sushi stands tall amongst Warsaw’s crowded culinary scene, largely due to a few unassailable features—great quality, authenticity, and an easy welcoming atmosphere. It has proven itself with creativity which is evident here at all levels. The menu has been put together with a clear thought to impress that this is no ordinary sushi place with items such as the Gyutataki, slices of raw beef served with shichimi sauce, grated daikon, fresh ginger, onions and greens; and the Shiromi Usuzukuri which is thinly sliced carpaccio of fresh white fish with lemon based ponzu sauce. The tuna steak with mustard sauce; the chicken teriyaki are all equally wonderful. The vision of Tomo’s co-owner Andrzej Pankiewicz is to impart a memorable experience; the word “Tomo” in Japanese implies friendship, and this is the place to enjoy company in the presence of outstanding culinary creations!

U FUKIERA RESTAURANT
U Fukiera, is a townhouse restaurant that has indeed become an ornament in Warsaw’s Old Town Square. Magda Gessler’s signature is everywhere, from fresh flowers, antiques, and art, to the excellent culinary experience. Magda Gessler had the vision over fifteen years ago to present that what Poland had to offer in terms of style, and remarkable culinary traditions could rival and surpass any other. Much of what appears on the table is what she learned from her grandmother with dishes such as the baked carp with porcini mushrooms and cream; and white sausage with honey and onion jam. With a far reaching reputation both domestically and internationally, its guest list boasts many visiting dignitaries. Ultimately what stands out at U Fukiera is the distinct philosophy that all guests here are A-list celebrities—to be fed, treated, and looked after as such!

NAZWA RESTAURACJIWHITE SUSHI RESTAURANT
Newly opened White Sushi located on Warsaw’s prestigious Krakowskie Przedmieście a few steps from the Presidential Palace, is redefining the way a sushi restaurant is perceived. Gone is the forced superimposition of faux-Japanese interiors that actually distract from the content of one’s plate. Here, as the name suggests, there is the pristine backdrop of a white interior, where the mind gets a clean slate to simply savor and judge the immense quality of the offerings here. The delicious salmon tartar, salad with shrimp and avocado, and of course a refined array of fine sashimi and sushi are a treat for two reasons—the skill of he sushi masters behind the counter and the quality of ingredients as far as freshness and appropriate cuts are concerned. White Sushi stands ready to satisfy on all levels! Jan Smereczyński invites!

Threads Silhouette-Lift ® - is characterized by minimally invasive technique and is used to pull and push up flabby tissues from the middle and lower part of the face;
• These threads are recommended for people between 30 and 50 years of age who have first signs of aging but not ready yet to have the traditional surgical facelif;
• Silhouette Lift ® strands are made from a biocompatible material, which has been used for many years in cardiovascular and eye.surgery;
• Each thread contains‚ hooks’ from polylactic acid, which, while dissolving stimulates the production of new collagen;
• The procedure does not stop the aging process, it can only raise the deeper structures of the face and tighten the skin, giving the effect of rejuvenation.
Happy - Lift Threads are similar to Soft Threads but do not have the ‚cones’, but ‚whiskers’ which ensure a better grip of the skin, most commonly the treatment applies to the forehead, neck and cheeks.
PDO Threads, used to model the body and do not pull up the skin, dissolve over a period of 9 to 12 months once implanted, form a „scaffold” which makes the skin more flexible, and stimulate the production of collagen. This is used on the neck, elbows, knees, and around the ear where the loss o skin elasticity is most visible.

Welcome to La Fromagerie--a cheese, and fine foods and wine retailer located in a must-visit location at Burakowska Street, once the site of an old lace factory. Offering top quality cheese produced by small, artisanal producers in England, France, and from other countries, one finds adorning the shelves here items such as Italian Parma Ham, Spanish Chorizo, French sausages and other gourmet specialties.

The exhibition conveys the atmosphere of those horrific days within an area of over 3000 square meters filled with 1000 items, 1500 photographs, films, and sound recordings. The history of the days preceding the outbreak of the Rising is shown along with its subsequent stages. A must see!

The mission of the Fryderyk Chopin Museum is to propagate the great composer’s life and work to a wide audience by capturing the social consciousness of Chopin’s identity as a unique European institution. The Museum delivers a high quality artistic experience, with the choice on what to take away depending on the individual viewer. Innovative forms of exploration are based on interaction with the audience and the immediate responses by the individual. The Museum must not simply be regarded as only a central facility made for the Year of Chopin celebrations held during 2010; it is first and foremost a national institution commemorating Fryderyk Chopin.

PRIMUS INTER PARES EXHIBITION
The exhibition entitled “Primus inter pares” is designed around Jan Sobieski, his family, upbringing and education, his military expeditions and hard-fought battles, and his successful political career not free from downturns. It will also reveal the King’s passions and loves, his wife and children, his scathing sense of humor, favorite pastimes, and his extensive fields of knowledge. The presentation of King Jan III will not just be limited to his image of the unsurpassed victor at the Battle of Vienna, or his passionate love to Marie. The Jan Sobieski of interest to all is the human being, at times erring, losing his temper, suffering defeat, and ever more resigned towards the end of his life. He is a historical figure invariably fascinating and rising above contemporaries with his daring plans, great military talent, and large-scale patronage.
