Szyby Lustra

Emerging from our tram stop on Aleja Piłsudskiego we noticed their neon sign and large windows from afar through the hazey filter of the ongoing construction. We had to circumnavigate a minor pedestrian detour to get in the door, but once we did our jaw hit the floor. With a slight retro diner feel, this thoroughly modern gastronomic outpost is up to something big. The regularly changing menu reads like a who’s who of the trendiest and tastiest comfort foods on the planet from burgers (roast beef!) and from Tagliatelli Nero to Vietnamese Pho. While lesser establishments might falter with such a scattered menu, every dish we tried was better than the last. While you certainly pay for what you get, a cheaper and popular option is their daily lunch – soup and a main special (also great weekday breakfasts till noon and 13:00 Sat/Sun). Wash down whatever delectable morsel you choose to devour with a local craft brew, glass of wine, lemonade or coffee drink. Quite simply a revelation and a revolution.
