At the birthday eve of our handicapped son, we spent a wonderful evening in this fine restaurant, with excellent food, attentive service, and a great atmosphere. Many thanks, Scoria!More

We had a wedding dinner at Scoria. Great food (especially steaks and desserts) and professional and frendly service, very good selection od wines! Strongly recommanded!More

Simply great. Super good vibe and food. Delicate, tasty and delicious. This restaurant should have a michelin star. Coming back already tomorrow! 😄

My wife and I have lived in Bydgoszcz for over seven years. During that time we have been to many restaurants around the city. We've had dining experiences that range from excellent, to OK, to absolutely horrible. When I use the term "dining experience," I...take into account not just the quality of the cuisine, but also the restaurant's ambiance, service, plate presentations, wine list, and something as simple as being cordially welcomed. I am a firm believer in the old adage, "you get what you pay for." Sure, is Scoria the least expensive restaurant in Bydgoszcz? No, it is not. Is it the best restaurant in the city, ABSOLUTELY! Dorota and I have eaten at Scoria six or seven times since it opened. As a matter of fact, we dined there twice in the last two weeks: once with friends visiting from overseas. They were very impressed. For me, as a retired chef, the mark of a great kitchen is how the kitchen functions when the executive chef is not there. Scoria's kitchen can be easily observed because of the large window overlooking the kitchen. On every occasion we have dined there, whether Chef Pawel Stawicki was on duty or not, the kitchen produced excellent food, starting from their ever-changing "amuse bouche" which they offer at every meal, to their desserts, especially one of the best creme brulee (my non French spelling!) I have ever had anywhere in Europe or North America. It is obvious to me that Pawel has assembled a great team, and as ever good chef knows: you are only as good as your team. We'll be away from Bydgoszcz for a couple of months this summer, but Scoria will be the place where we will have our welcome back meal! One final thought: the servers and front of the house staff are true professionals, welcoming, smiling, and charming. They set the tone for your dining experience. As we say in Polska, "Smacznego!" (aka Bon Appetit!)More

In short: Thank you, next. Bad and rude service, tasteless and bad quality of food. They think techniques matter more than taste and expensive for nothing. Their response "This is our standards". Well, your standards are pretty low for this amount of money. Overal experience:...1 star I chose this restaurant due to the nice reviews, and I was hoping to eat something nice and extraordinary. But in the end, the only extraordinary thing is how bad the experience was. Place: 4 stars The place is nice, cosy and pretty good decoration. Food: 1 star They welcomed us with few tiny parmesan pies with fresh chives, which were nice. After that, they provided some nice warm bread, but the butter, which was accompanying it was mediocre. The butter with herbs could be better. Beef tartare with mayo, parsley and pickled mushroom was mediocre. The texture was nice, but it was missing salt and the pickled mushroom did not provide anything than it usually does. I have eaten better beef tartare in cafeterias and hookah cafes which is NOT of course their main service food. Foie gras was nice, juicy and melting like butter. Marinated Scottish salmon was ok. It had some nice acidity, but I was expecting it to be more juicy, with refreshing tones. However, I found fennel too much and hiding the flavour of salmon. Lamb saddle was weird. Cooking was perfect as it should be. Juicy, tender and soft. However, the combinations of the sides were really weird. Cherry and plum jam was not helping at all. Lamb was missing salt, pepper, thyme/rosemary, lemon - ingredients that help the meat to be distinctive. I am not criticising the whole idea, but it was not working as it should. Last but not least, Tomahawk steak was the worst I have ever eaten. The cooking technique was good as I ordered for medium-rare. However, the quality of the meat was really bad. It was ultra chewy and I could not cut it in pieces. Also, this meat was missing salt too. I complained about this dish and returned it immediately with all its pieces back to the plate. The final result was the management of the restaurant refusing to accept their fault and provide us a discount or remove its price from the bill. ***The BEST part starts now !*** Service's response was that it was my fault that I ordered it medium-rare and that's why it was chewy. BUT a few minutes later they came back and presented another story that they tried the steak it was very fine and it was according to their standards, soft and tender. Some minutes later, another waiter comes with another story and says that this piece of meat is always chewy and how IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE !!!! So they were not prepared to explain their nice fairy tale, each story was cancelling the previous one and they did NOT WANT to apologise and take responsibility. Tomahawk Steak is expensive because it's a very high quality, tender, juicy and large cut of Prime beef taken from the rib section of the cow. This meat was ANYTHING but a piece of dry wood. The reason I refused to have another steak or something similar is because the service from the start was rude and arrogant, behaving that they never do a mistake and did not want to acknowledge that their service in reality was cheap, poor and needed improvements. The first thing that they said was "it's your fault". Let me tell you that I always eat medium-rare meat and I would not even dare to feed my dog with this bad quality of meat they offered. Service: 1 star for all the above reasons. There are far better places to visit in Bydgoszcz. Thank you, next.More

It was Great Dinner with excellent dishes from Chef Pawel and his team. The service was perfect as well. Fantastic evening in Scoria Restaurant!

We was only for drinks there and was so great. The coffee was delicious, the service was perfect. Next time we must try food. You must check this place Greetings for the crew.

Maby it's not cheap but food is delicious. Grate atmosphere and professional stuff. Highly recommended!

One of the Best resteurants I've ever been to. Food, Service, interior, atmosphere... It was all excellent. World - clss cuisine with the chef coming to tables and making sure the guests are satisfied with courses. ♥️More

Fantastic restaurant. Atmosphere - Calm, relaxing and very modern with a creative and abstract touch from paintings, cloud effect on the ceiling and a fantastic view of the kitchen. Front of house Staff - very well presented, calm and polite from the get go. Food...- fantastic, each dish was well presented, balanced and just astonishing. I highly recommend in trying each dish with the recommend wine which, has been paired very well. From the basic points above, it may not provide a detailed point of view of our experience however, from the moment we were greeted into the establishment, served and leaving, it was 5/5. Food was very well timed between each serving from start to finish, served left to right along with a good knowledge about the wines and ofcourse, the general demeanour and humour of our waiter. Congratulations to the staff both front and back house. Great team work and efficient communication skills can be seen.More

We visited this restaurant after article in Food & Friends magazine. We had high expectations, which were even over-delivered. Scoria is a fine dining restaurant. You can find sophisticated dishes with great taste combinations. Choice of wine is also very good. You can have degustation...menu (5 dishes) or make a choice out of well designed menu. I am sure that both options will work.. We were also very pleased with the service starting from waiter to sommerlier. We had also chance to talk to chef, who is approaching every table. Very nice interior with look on the Brda river is a "cherry on the cake". Certainly, it was not our last visit in this restaurant. Highly recommended for great cousine fans!More

Tried most of the dishes they serve. Most of them good, some terrible fat. Portions are small compared to other high class places, but with nice decorations.More
