STÓŁ na Szwedzkiej - studio kulinarne — Restaurant in Wrocław

Dining at this (teeny tiny) restaurant truly can be your "event" of the day. This is not a place to simply have a good meal. This is a place to dine, to truly enjoy your food, to enjoy meeting the chef and his team, to speak with him about his vision for the guest experience, and to learn about the ways in which your meal was prepared with thought, intent, and talent. I'm sure you've already read the other reviews about how there is no menu, and that chef will instead ask what foods you like and don't like. But my advice is not to simply say "I like chicken," but rather how you like your chicken, as in, what style, what kind of cuisine, and with what flavors. Are you a huge fan of garlic? Absolutely love Turkish spices? Do you like mushroom flavor but hate the consistency (raises hand). Chef wants to know what your tastebuds like, not what you like. Give him the tools to create an exquisite meal for you, and he will do so.

Here was our menu (entirely gluten-free; Celiac is the worst. In fact, chef's response when we asked for gluten-free was that he naturally does not use a lot of gluten-containing items, so cross-contamination was limited).

Green salad with cucumbers, avocados, kiwi, and a delicious quince-based dressing with a hint of mint. Hand-cut sweet potato fries, so light and airy you thought you were eating a potato puff. Roasted summer vegetables and red pepper in a balsamic reduction Grilled chicken with lemon, in a mushroom puree sauce with fresh thyme Broiled swordfish with vinaigrette red cabbage Braised pork shoulder (marinated for 24 hrs) in a savory gravy of onions and mustard seeds Dessert tray of coffee creme brulee, bananas with white chocolate and strawberries, a deliciously light cheesecake with a pistachio base, and a brownie square (the only gluten item served to our table, for our non-GF friends).

As you can see, this restaurant is unique. As such, reservations are imperative, and I urge you to go no matter what time you can fit it into your schedule. They start seating at 2pm, and space is limited to 3 larger tables (they will seat smaller parties with other small parties to make use of their tables). Book well in advance if you're looking for traditional dinner hours. We dined at 3:30pm and were full straight through to bedtime. Truly, this is an experience that is not to be missed.

Simply amazing. Have to go off recommendations or reviews as you'd never find it unless you are local. Cannot recommend enough.

Booked for my birthday and were given a spot on the large table which you share with 6 people, just opposite where the chef's prepare food. There is no menu, the chef who spoke perfect English asked the types of food we liked, whether we had any allergies etc, and then went into the kitchen area the other side of our table to talk through with colleagues before preparing our food. We chatted to our young chef who had worked in the UK as well. Really interesting guy.

We've eaten in many restaurants including a few recent Michelin star venues. You count yourself lucky in many places in the UK, if the food is as described, presented well and service is better than ok and that's with a menu which the kitchen staff have practiced many times.

This was not unlike the MasterChef invention test. So to produce such great food, whilst chatting with the customer from time to time and asking for feedback or anything to be done differently was amazing. We had three courses of amazing food, if you categorised it you might call it Thai, French and English, based on our woolly thoughts about what style, proteins, likes and dislikes we could think of.

Cannot praise the staff enough - from the drinks guy to the chefs all were attentive, interested in us and cared about our experience. When was the last time you could say that - apart from a few other restaurants in Wroclaw, Gdansk and Pula we've visited in the last few years? Certainly not in the Michelin star venues we've visited in the last few months.

Thank you for a wonderful...

Wow!!! What an experience. We were visiting Wroclaw from England and this was on our list of places we had to visit. It should be on the list for anyone who has a passion for food.

There is no menu here and the experience starts with a discussion with Grzegorz, he asks about your likes and dislikes and at this point you can really influence your menu for the evening or, do what we did and with only a little direction from us we put our faith in the team to create dishes for us and we were not disappointed.

We sat for over 4 hours and had a vast selection of different dishes including, Fillet of Beef, Duck, Iberico Pork, Scallops, Pork Cheeks and much more. Each dish was crafted with so much skill and included many different elements which worked really well together. We were fortunate to be able to sit at the kitchen bench and oversea the amount of work that went in to every dish. Each dish was served by the chefs and explained at the table. We enjoyed every single dish we were served. We tried a selection of good wines across the evening also.

Grzegorz was such a good host but a special mention for Daniel and Piotr in the kitchen who were responsible for a lot of the great food we were served. The biggest surprise was in the bill at the end, considering the quality of the ingredients, the work that goes into each dish, the experience of sitting at the kitchen bench, we thought the whole experience offered exceptional value for money. A similar experience here in the UK would have cost 3 or 4 times as much.

Thanks once again to Grzegorz and the team, we will definitely consider a return visit to Wroclaw just to...
