Another visit to the restaurant recommended by the @michelinguide and there is something to celebrate again. To celebrate the birthday of a friend of Degustująca Istota, Degustująca Istota was invited to the restaurant @bezgwiazdek, where the Chef is Robert Trzopek @roberttrzopek. I’ve been thinking about visiting this restaurant for a long time, but somehow it didn’t happen before. Bez Gwiazdek is a small restaurant with only a few tables. The atmosphere is more homely than restaurant-like and the service seems relaxed as well.

The menu changes once a month and focuses on the region of Poland selected for that month. We stepped in for a menu inspired by dishes from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Degustation:

Bread

Several types of bread served with butter and rapeseed oil. eggplants.

There are slices of various bread on a wooden stand. Next to it, there is butter on a white plate and there is rapeseed oil in the bowl.


  

Asparagus with onion broth

Intensive broth with crispy asparagus. eggplants.

In a white deep plate with the dark brown broth contains pieces of green and white asparagus.


  

“Hołubcie Bielkowskie”

Cabbage cones with potatoe, fried onion, roasted barley groats, and chive flowers. eggplants.

 Golden brown cabbage cones arranged in a bowl full of pearl barley grains. The horns are decorated with purple flowers on the top.


  

Fish broth/young vegetables/rose

Turbot broth with the addition of roasted butter was very substantial and rich in flavor. It was nicely enriched with pieces of zucchini and asparagus. Pickled rose petals were a surprising and delicious complement to the whole dish. Also visually, this dish made a great impression. eggplants.

Arranged with pieces of zucchini and asparagus, a colorful grid, on which the rose petals are located. The whole dish is placed in a deep plate with yellow broth.

There are mini sweets on a small, white, milk plate.


  

Summary:

At Bez Gwiazdek restaurant, dinner was very tasty, although it must be admitted that the menu for June was not exactly tailored to our tastes. We are not big fans of fish, especially a birthday boy who does not eat fish at all and chose vegetarian versions. Unfortunately, we are not in Warsaw as often as we would like and after all, we wanted to try the chef’s authors dishes.

I think the evening was very enjoyable and I’m glad we got to know the minimalist and less formal approach to Fine Dining.
