Alewino

You know you are in the right place when you ask your waiter for the wine menu and he responds:
…“Of course, I am the walking wine menu!” …
#bigwin!
Alewino just won one of the top spots in my Warsaw restaurants ranking.
a) THE WINE: Oliver, our waiter, was passionate and knowledgable about the wine cellar. We started with three wines to try in our table. We tried the three and loved the third one. Even then he wanted us to try one more, which my husband happen to prefer above all (I stay with #3). Of course. By the end of 4 trials plus another glass or two we were having a fun laugh!
b) THE FOOD: perfect combination of flavors and presentation. We started with a cold appetizer of beetroot with creamed goat cheese. Followed by roasted cauliflower for me (WOW) and lamb for him. Perfection.
c) THE SERVICE: excellent, excellent! Our waiter, Oliver, took care of every detail. He knew the menu and was able to recommend dishes, wines and even included Italian dessert wine on the house. What a difference when you are with someone who loves his job. He even spoke fluent English and Spanish.
Yes, yes, yes!!!

A very cozy spot, off a shopping street. It is located on the back of the building and one wondered if the place was actually still around. I sat outside because the day was nice and the temperature was warm.
Next time I would sit inside because the designed chairs were uncomfortable.
The menu was written in chalk on a sign at the entrance, all in Polish, so ask for the English menu if needed.
Service was attentive and helpful. Local and seasonal, with great respect for the ingredients.
A cold summer soup was excellent in the high temperature.
Excellent wines, but it helps if you know what you are looking for. A tip is to go inside and have a look at their wine shelves.
