About

Restaurant “U Fukiera” is today a living picture painted by Magda Gessler. The harmoniously defined form impresses here, as well as taste, aroma, color, and sound, along with the interior design. This place not only encourages you to look at it as a work of art but discreetly provokes you to participate in a spectacle that it creates with its guests. Exquisite art is created here every day from scratch, definitely exceeding the boundaries of old bourgeois aesthetics and the main actors of everyday performances are guests who visit us in search of not only taste sensations.

AMAZING food, very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Sep 2020 • couples

My wife booked this restaurant for my birthday and we were completely blown away with how good it was! The service was fantastic, we were looked after brilliantly by Pawel who was very welcoming and also very knowledgeable about the dishes when asked for advice. The food itself was to a very high standard and I would even go as far as saying it’s one of the best restaurant meals that we have ever had! I would highly recommend for those looking for traditional Polish cuisine as it completed our very enjoyable trip to Warsaw - it’s unbelievable why this restaurant isn’t rated higher. 5 stars!!

Eclectic Restaurant in old Town Warsaw

May 2022 • couples

Cute looking gold coloured building in Old Town Warsaw. Entrance to Restaurant was a little cluttered and unusual. Entrance to dining room was via a short corridor and through a curtained hallway which then opened into a vaulted dining room. Low lighting plenty of candles and an eclectic mix of pictures and odds and ends resulted in a cosy living room feel. Staff were friendly. Quite an extensive menu of local cuisine. Food and service was prompt. I had a glass of white house wine which turned out to be Cloudy Bay Then has beetroot carpaccio with a local cheese. This was followed by seasonal asparagus risotto. All where excellent. Portions weren't especially large 😒 but sufficient Courses were circa £15 up each so expensive for Poland. So interesting experience worth trying

Would have expected so much better...

Aug 2020 • couples

It’s the second time we’ve eaten here. Unfortunately it’s too bad for the whole buzz. Although we were really optimistic and enthusiastic. Placki ziemniaczane z kurkami: too salty and not crunchy. Pierogi z cielecina: swimming in grease, soft and gummy. I think even Mrs Gessler would have sent them back to the kitchen. This was REALLY disappointing and a bit disgusting. Wine : again too warm and the waiter has no idea when the bottle was open, which for a guest who loves wine and asks important questions is seriously crucial. Barszcz: delicious. Polish white wine : delicious. Very medium level of food. All needs some kind of general refreshment, new perspective and definitely wine culture education.

The food was very bad, bland and tasteless considering It's high price. We needed to salt and pepper the food ourselfs. The waiter came to our table sometimes to spice our food like they can't do it in the kitchen It was a bit annoying aswell. The only good thing about this restaurant was the wine, beer and the enviroment. You should avoid this place. I feel like I've been scammed.

tragic service, dirt and decent food

Dec 2022 • couples

We visited U Fukiera with my partner, looking for traditional polish food. We've had a reservation at 20:30, the waiter ignored us until 20:50 (then we managed to finally get dirty, sticky menus), around 21:15 I finally recieved a glass of water, after confronting another waiter... My partner does not speak Polish (I do), that is why I instisted on having service in English, so he can be part of the conversation. My request has been ignored, waiter was switching to Polish with every approach. After more than 1 hour since we entered, finally we've got our starter and a bottle of wine. Pierogi were delicious, one of the best I have ever had. It took another half hour to serve us mains, no one was interested in our well-being or if we enjoy the evening. We were pouring wine ourselves and feeling disrespected. Around 22 our mains are being thrown on the table - wonderful, soft meats and tasty sides. Yum! We finished our food, no one ever approached to clean or ask if we need anything else. Before leaving I went to the toilet - dirty, clogged, filthy. Gross. At some point we just left our table, took our jackets and in the door I asked manager (or whoever was the person in a jacket) for a bill. He asked the waiter, who just brought it to me. No "sorry", no nothing. I left and came back after a minute, as I forgot my bag. The staff was talking about the situation that happened and seen me coming back, but again, did not even try to make it up for me. Never go there, maybe order from Uber, as food is good (although, I've had better polish food in Warsaw). This place should not call itself restaurant and with this service quality, prices should be half of it.

Unfortunately dissappoitment

Jun 2021 • friends

We were for lunch on a long weekend. We took up friends with us, because when we were before everything tasted very much. Unfortunately, this time a disappointment. We ordered chicken soup, pork chop and apple pie. Unfortunately, pork chop turned out to be a big disappointment with us, becauste batter was soggy. What is more, the meat was stringy and thick. The restaurant service agreed with us and apologized. As an apology, we received an apple pie for free. Unfortunately, the cake was not as tasty as it should be (previously served warm, now cold). We encourage you to pay attention to the pork chop which has always been delicious.Despite the free apple pie, the price for all these dishes is not worth the quality of the products. At this moment, despite the friendly service, we will not come back.

Overpriced experience - importance given to customers

Nov 2021 • friends

I went to the restaurant with few friends. The price is far over what other restaurants are proposing to customers in the same area and the quality is not much better. I would have expected a better one given the last prices the restaurant was awarded with. Then the bill came and we decided to split. A double payment was made. Unfortunately it was not the fault of the waiter but mine. It took me 8 visits to the restaurant, 10 calls and more than 10 emails exchanges and they still did not return the 40€ back. I will never go back to this place nor recommend it.

Expected much more

Jul 2021 • none

This was the first and the last time for me. If the restaurant is not able to prepare a steak properly, how it can pretend to be a good one? Everything was just fine. No "wow" effect. When we asked personnel - "what do you suggest", the only meaningful answer was "it is up to you". So, the "Beef sirloin in wine and wild mushroom sauce" was missing the sauce, I believe. The meat was killed too... Selection of beers - for a "polish style" restaurant it should be better. And the bottled beer should be served cold, not warm. One big disappointment. Definitely requires "Kuchenne rewolucje". And the prices are much too high for this level of service. I do not recommend.

Do Not Go Here

Oct 2021 • none

U Fukiera has a reputation for traditional Polish food. While the decor is a highlight, the food is decidedly not. You can stop into any of the myriad restaurants in and around Old Town and get better Polish food at a lower price. The portions are enormous. But the large size servings does not make up for mediocre food at best. While a nice setting and decent service, you can do better.

Delish, amazing food and great ambiance

Aug 2021 • couples

This Magda Gessler restaurant came highly recommended by our tour guide and did not disappoint. We chose to eat inside and the decor was very nice. Loved the ladies room which was like a decorated cave. My husband ordered the lamb shank, which was delicious. I had the steak with a Demi glaze sauce and potato dumplings, which was unbelievable. And the bread was fresh and served with homemade butter Ora cheese spread with cucumbers. The whole dinner was wonderful.

This was a comedy

Sep 2021 • none

Very bad experience. The waiter did not understand English language, although this could be solved by giving us another waiter which he didn`t. After we ordered drinks he came back two times to check what we ordered because he forgot. After one hour waiting for food we were told that they ad problems in kitchen and we were offered dessert while waiting for the main course. The food finally arrived and it was not good prepared. Ended up finishing our wine, paid for the meal and went to a much nicer place for eating. DON`T GO TO THIS PLACE if you want a nice evening out in Warsaw.

Horrible

May 2023 • friends

I ordered potato pancakes which were fry on the fish oil🥴 I ask the stuff about my meal which they just answer that wasn’t fry on the fish oil. They didn’t wanted to send this back to the kitchen to checked that I was right. I didn’t eat my dish I pay full amount. I will never go there again. Very bad experience

Definetly not worth Michelin star

Dec 2022 • business

We choose this restaurant to host our foreign business partners as Michelin start should give us a level of certainty of having good food and professional service. Unfortunately, food was really average and service was frustrating. Long time to get any beverage and starters, main dishes came after 2(!) hours when some guests already had to leave. Waiter was arrogant and this kind of behavior is rarely seen in any kind of restaurants nowadays. At the end of our visit we had to look for our coats as they were totally mixed… really disappointing.

I visited this famous restaurant this week. Prises super high for poor quality food. Very salty, did not like all the three dishes we ate - "Flaki", soup and salad made of salad and bread with cheese. Honestly nothing new, nothing creative, overadverized. We went to another restaurant few yards from the Rynek and had wonderful dinner next night. I am not sure why people get so excited about this place because choices of foods are not different than anywhere else but super salty expensive and I am not sure where the Michelin star comes from and I ate in many Polish restaurants during my 6 weeks visit. I don't recommend this place.

Great location, acceptable food, poor service.

Jun 2023 • couples

Great location, acceptable food, poor service. When 10% automatically added to your bill what is motivation for waiter to do his job well? He knows - tourists are coming every day for such location. If the owner of restaurant is not in place service will not be as good as it should be most probably. Food - beetroot carpaccio was good, duck was a big portion, but risotto was not "al dente" as it should be. Does it worth 150 euro for dinner with a bottle of wine? Day before we eat at "Przy Zamku" nearby it's the place you want to return!
