Fodor's Review:

This long-established wine bar on the Old Town Square has been turned into a curious—though ultimately inviting—network of elaborately decorated dining rooms. There is a talking parrot in a cage here, and candles adorn all available shelf space (sometimes set dangerously close to diners' elbows). The decor is, admittedly, lovely; the food is okay but overpriced "Light Old Polish." Expect to find such standbys as oven-roasted carp, sautéed veal liver, and crabmeat crepes. As with most places in the Old Town, sadly, you don't really get you're money's worth. Nevertheless, there's no denying that this is still one of the most famous and popular restaurants in Warsaw. If you dine here, go in with your eyes open and your pocketbook full.

OK, it's got a vaguely rude name, but the food was great when we visited recently for a late lunch. The rooms are dark and cosy and full of intertesting 'stuff'. We found the service to be polite, quick and even with a smile. We had two starters each - the steak tartar was perhaps the best I have ever had, my collegues herrings he said were very good. We both had sour mushroom soup with sausage which was also very good. The bread was ok. Bill was a bargain. I see the other reviewers had poor experiences, but I really can't agree. I would definitely go back there. It has a great atmosphere which is probably best sampled at night.
