Restauracja Wódka Gessler Na Widelcu — Restaurant in Warsaw

A clear and solid 5/5. if you‘re in Warsaw make sure to visit this place. Its amazing! From service, over drinks to the quality of the food everything is perfect every time i go there.

To start off, we were introduced by a whole team of elegantly dressed waiters that were all very friendly. Even though, we were obviously a bit younger (mid 20s) and not Polish nor female me and my two friends were treated with the highest respect by a very humorous waiter.

He seated us in my opinion at the best table of the restaurant (in the main room right corner next to the entrance) and immediately told us some jokes and offered us an Aperitif. We went for three Espresso Martini which usually were not on the menu but their bartender improvised them and the result was amazing.

The service was all in all amazing from the first the second of the experience until the last. The waiter explained us every dish because we were not familiar with everything the local cuisine had to offer.

Afterwards we decided for our dishes. We went for tartar, herring and the jewish tomato soup for starters and the duck, and two times the stuffed roulade for main courses. We finished this brilliant meal with two shots of the house vodka (can only recommend) but were too full for an additional desert. From what I know from the main courses though is that we definitely missed something out by not trying the desserts.

Everything was class A! Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, beautiful ambience, nice slow and rhythmic music, not too fancy (no annoying show off) - all in all just a 5/5 can recommend it for families, friends, casual and not casual.

I will definitely be back! Great compliment to the kitchen and especially the very nice and qualified waiter! I hope he will remember me (one of the three guys you hated for not drinking more vodka ;) )

See you...

My girlfriend and I went to Gessler Wódka 30/06/2024. This was our first restaurant after arriving in Warsaw the day before.

We had both ordered Wątróbka cielęca mainly because my girlfriend was on a strict diet and I ordered it because I enjoy it too.

The waiter gladly took our order and went back to the kitchen. We had been waiting for around 30-40 minutes for our plate which was understandable because it was very busy. However, the people sitting next to our table were seated 2 minutes before us and received TWO different courses within 5-10 minutes of ordering.

THE BEST PART? The waiter came back with two menus in his hand after 40 minutes and told us that they no longer had the Wątróbka cielęca and told us we needed to order something else. Meanwhile, the party next to us (seated 2 minutes before us) was already paying their bill after completing two courses.

How are you going to wait that long before informing us that what we ordered was not available? Unacceptable.

We were going to walk out but we were hungry so we decided to order something else.

I ordered the Zrazy and my girlfriend ordered the fish.

The Zrazy was literally the worst thing I’ve had in a long time. They were burnt and dry as heck. And the fish my girlfriend ordered was absolutely tasteless.

I don’t usually spend this much time leaving a review unless it’s amazing or unbelievably bad and this was TERRIBLE.

I was debating not paying for the meal and just walking out because I didn’t even eat the meal after a few bites.

All in all, absolutely terrible all around. It was my first time at this restaurant and I definitely will never be going back to this place due to the dismal...

The front door is not marked as entrance, so if one is not familiar with this place, there is no indication which door is the actual entrance (there are at least 3 or 4 entrance doors, most blocked by tables; the actual entrance door was semi blocked by a crepes making station). I tried to pull the door open several times with staff standing on the other side ignoring me. After several attempts, we figured that the door should be pushed to open (no label to help customers). Really irritating when you are standing outside in the rain. Conclusion is that the staff is either clueless or purposefully oblivious to their surroundings. Our table was by the temporary bathroom (ultimately our choice because it was quiet and away from the crowds), that door however did not close automatically and had no handle on the inside to make it possible for customers to close it behind them. I had prix fix lunch, barley soup with potatoes, and baked cod in some cream sauce. The soup tasty however the cod was bone dry and touch. When i brought it up, i was offered more sauce (!). Ridiculous and thoughtless. As i was leaving i mentioned it to the host but only got brief apology in the passing (he was busy as the place was really chaotic). I will not be back and do not...
