7 years of Stolica

At the beginning of December, 7 years have passed since the opening of the Stolica restaurant, of which we are very proud and extremely pleased. This post is our thanks to all the people who create this place - the staff, supporters of the Stolica, as well as our Guests.

THE CHARM OF THE 1920S

When opening STOLICA, we wanted to create a place comparable to the old premises in Warsaw from 100 years ago, i.e. the interwar period. We were inspired by Adria, Oaza and Ziemiańska, i.e. legends of the Warsaw gastronomic and... revue scene! This post is illustrated with photos showing the interiors of these extraordinary places. We must admit that the old glitz of elegant clothes, sumptuous decor and elegance in the looks of the characters in the photographs take us for a moment to those beautiful times. We sincerely hope that during the evenings spent in our interior listening to the sounds of live music, many of you felt the same way, as if time had stopped...

STOLICA IS PEOPLE

We have 7 years together filled with delicious Polish and European cuisine with strong French influences (vol au vent with crayfish, caviar and rillettes). It is also difficult to count all the live music performances that took place here. We would like to remind you that for years we have been organizing evenings with the Warsaw Band from Targówek and afternoons with a pianist and vocalist, and in our interior there is a historic piano from Legnica.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful staff who strive every day to make you, our Guests, feel as good as possible. Your satisfaction is proven by almost 2,000 positive opinions and 5th place among Warsaw restaurants on Tripadvisor, as well as over a thousand enthusiastic ratings on Google! Thank you to everyone involved for your support!

Special Menu with Rabbit

In addition to the new fall-winter menu, our chef Piotr Augustyńczyk has prepared a seasonal, special menu with dishes based on rabbit meat for the guests of the Stolica restaurant.

The menu consists of three independent dishes that can be ordered together or separately. The first proposition is rillettes, a French pâté - here made of rabbit meat, which is served with pickled peppers, onions, mushrooms and cucumbers, as well as bread. This is a dish that can easily be served as an appetizer to share for two. The next two suggestions are rabbit saddle in Parma ham with olive tapenade, sun-dried tomatoes and croutons, as well as rabbit leg in cream with dumplings stuffed with pumpkin and fried Brussels sprouts.

We highly recommend these exquisite proposals from our chef - available to order from a special insert included in our regular menu. Due to the temporary availability of the menu, we encourage you to visit our restaurant soon to taste these culinary proposals.

Fall&Winter Menu has arrived

An exciting taste of novelties

We are happy to welcome an exceptionally exquisite item, black caviar, to our new menu. We paired it with our delicious, freshly prepared blinis and sour cream. After such a sophisticated appetizer, it's time for the king of our main dishes, i.e. lamb shank, which in this year's version is served in a red wine-based sauce with Silesian dumplings and baked parsley. An equally interesting setting is duck breast, served on Hokkaido pumpkin puree with a pear marinated in white wine.

Stunning colors

For lovers of exceptionally delicate flavors and textures on a plate, we offer beef cheeks in gravy served on beetroot dumplings with goat cheese and stewed root vegetables. The intense, burgundy color of the dumplings hides a silky interior, which perfectly matches the fantastic melt-in-your-mouth beef in this version. For the youngest of our guests, we have prepared a dance of orange and green impressions about peas and carrots, accompanying grilled farm chicken with mashed potatoes. This classic dish has taken on a completely new form, thanks to the ingenuity of our chef Piotr Augustyńczyk.

Sweet ending

Among the sweets we offer, a unique chocolate dessert has reappeared in the form of a warm gateau with a liquid center. The lemon sorbet that accompanies it is our latest culinary discovery - known and liked as a solo dessert, also available as a duo. Let's also not forget about the kiss of French cuisine, i.e. vanilla cream under a crunchy brown sugar shell, i.e. creme brulee.

Autumn and winter feasting

No words or photos can convey the taste and smell of the dishes we serve in our new autumn-winter menu. It is full of seasonal additions that our chefs have created in a variety of inventive, exquisite forms and textures. We encourage you to visit the Stolica restaurant, where you will find offers full of unique flavors.

Stolica restaurant presents Music Gatherings

Every Saturday and Sunday, the Stolica restaurant invites its Guests for a musical journey into the old days. Our summer terrace at the Szeroki Dunaj square turns into an auditorium for live performances by exceptional musicians from the Warsaw Band from Targówek (one of Warsaw's old districts), as well as outstanding pianists Łukasz and Mateusz Wojakowski and vocalist and violinist Agnieszka Wojakowska.

Live music every weekend

Our weekend music meetings start every Saturday at 18:00 and last until 22:00, and on Sunday at 14:00 and last until 18:00. The number of seats is limited, so we encourage you to arrive early. In exceptional situations, concerts take place at other times or are occasionally canceled, so we encourage you to visit our Facebook profile to check the news.

Melodies from the old days

Accordion, acoustic guitar, double bass, clarinet, banjo and even harmonica and tambourine are just some of the instruments used by very talented artists from the Warsaw Band from Targówek. The group has existed for over 25 years and has released several albums with recordings of the old Warsaw songs.

Warsaw folklore in live performances

Such hits as "U auntie's name day" or "I made an appointment with her at 9" are fixed points in the repertoire. However, it is very wide, so a journey through the retro music scene of Warsaw, also through the interwar period, is guaranteed. There will certainly be something to stamp your foot on, and perhaps even invite a loved one to dance ...

Sunday musical meetings with the duo

Sunday in the summer terrace of the Stolica restaurant at Szeroki Dunaj square is marked by piano music, i.e. retro songs played by Mr. Łukasz Wojakowski, who is usually accompanied by vocalist and violinist Agnieszka Wojakowska. Together, they perform a repertoire that draws heavily on the history of Polish songs from the old days, but there will also be beautiful foreign songs in a classic arrangement.

Sunday afternoon with the pianist

There are also Sundays that we spend with the sounds of piano music played by Mr. Mateusz Wojakowski. Fortunate is the man who spends at least a few moments listening to his music, because his artistic talent leaves live music lovers no doubt. See for yourself by booking a table in the garden on a selected Sunday, just when he will perform with us.

Live music is one of the important pillars of our lives. Stolica is a restaurant inspired by the times of the interwar period in Warsaw, which are associated with loud dancing parties and evening revues. The focal point of our place is a wooden, antique piano from Legnica, which regularly comes to life, especially in the autumn and winter season, when the weather does not allow meetings on our summer terrace. We encourage you to visit our place in order to rediscover the music from the old days, and at the same time we guarantee exceptional cuisine and the unique atmosphere of a side street of Warsaw's old town.

New Menu for New Season

The menu at the Stolica restaurant is a procession of colorful proposals for the spring and winter season. Many of the best-selling dishes have stayed with us, but they changed their robes for lighter ones, accompanied by seasonal additions. See what's on our menu now!

With the arrival of spring, our chef Piotr Augustyńczyk has prepared a new version of the menu at the Stolica restaurant. Polish classics have gained some interesting variations again, thanks to colorful and light additions, as well as surprisingly accurate combinations of ingredients. We encourage you to browse through its proposals and visit the place to try new dishes.

Technical Break on 15th and 16th of February

We kindly inform you that due to a short, pre-spring renovation, the Stolica restaurant will be exceptionally closed on February 15 and 16. We are coming back to you on February 17 in the afternoon. Please follow the exact information on our social media channels.

Valentine's Evening with Live Music

For this special evening we have prepared for you a special tasting menu in four parts. Dinner will be accompanied by live music in the form of old melodies played on the piano. The evening will be graced by pianist Mateusz Wojakowski.

All guests will be greeted with a Martini Fiero drink, which is a bittersweet purple-colored vermouth with tonic water and orange slices.

The menu for New Year's Eve 2022/23 includes a starter, soup, main course and dessert, as well as a glass of prosecco and water. The price of a single menu is PLN 350.

Summer Menu just arrived!

Last month we spent on preparing culinary proposals in the rhythm of summer temperatures. Did we succeed? Be sure to visit us and rate by yourself!

Stolica’s menu changes twice a year, adapting to the seasonality and availability of fresh, local ingredients. This time we have slightly expanded the culinary horizons, noticing your interest in the pastes prepared by our kitchen. We hope that our Italian-Polish romance will appeal not only to regular guests, but also to those who are just planning to visit us ...

The great return of Karmonadel is a nod to many queries about this dish. This old Warsaw delicacy is a breaded pork loin with bone, which we serve with a portion of silky potato puree and a traditional salad of fresh cucumbers and cream. If in mood for Polish style feast try our famous dumplings hand-made with your favorite fillings, as well as sour soup with egg and sausage - a real bestseller under this address.

Do not forget about the desserts that taste best when eaten in our garden overlooking the tenement houses of the Old Town

Stolica Favorites - The best of 2019

If ordering in a restaurant you usually ask the waiter about the dishes he recommends, this post is just for you. Especially for the beginning of 2020, we’ve collected positions that our guests liked the most over the past 12 months. Don't know yet what to order when you visit Stolica for the first time? Here is your cheat sheet!

Starter: Caramelized fig served on oven-baked goat cheese roulade accompanied by strawberries, green pepper, arugula and orange caviar

To start with, beloved by many for its creamy texture, goat cheese straight from the oven. Our chefs don’t skimp on seasonal additions that caress the palate of even the most demanding guests.

Order if you want to start with something light, but filling too, and in addition you like a combination of salty, sweet and sour taste.

Soup: Sour soup with smoked bits, egg and white sausage

Especially in the winter season, our guests most often choose a warming, filling portion of the most traditional of Polish soups. When it disappeared from our menu a few seasons ago, you were constantly asking about it. That's why we decided to bring it back and keep probably forever.

Order if Polish cuisine takes first place in your heart ... we mean stomach :)

Main course: Pork loin sprinkled with mustard sauce, served on pumpkin puree with brussels sprouts and flavoured nutmeg 

Last season, we served it with powdered pistachio, potato dumplings and green pea mousse. Currently, this delicate meat is served with a mustard sauce on a pumpkin puree and brussel sprouts flavored with nutmeg.

Order if you like delicate meat with creamy additions - you won’y regret it!

And…: Lamb shank!

This is another dish that our new and regular guests really liked. In the summer season the shank was served on black lentils with horseradish, mustard and a bouquet of cooked vegetables. With the beginning of colder season, our chefs changed the way of cooking and additions. For today you will order lamb shank marinated in plum jam, in a gravy served on horseradish cassotto made from bulgur groats, dried tomatoes, and fried kale.

Dessert: Apple-pie served with vanilla ice cream

Although in our menu you will find delicious chocolate gateau, a cream portion of ice cream and a first-class wuzetka, it is apple pie that dominates when ordering. Shortbread, buttery dough, perfectly sour, cinnamon flavoured apples and a vanilla ice cream scoop in your mouth. We can't imagine a better way to finish a meal at Stolica.

White wine: Matua Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand

Our guests choose this refreshing, persistent wine the most often. It is an excellent complement to fish dishes, salads and our spectacular risotto. Fermented in a steel tub, it retains the classic taste that many people look for in this type of drink. We always recommend it!

Red wine: Chianti Classico

Deep, tannin wine, characteristic of the Italian craftsmanship won the hearts of our guests last year. Meat dishes are perfectly complemented by a glass of aromatic, persistent wine, and this item met the expectations of each of the customers. The exceptionally long maturation process in oak barrels gives it a unique ruby color and smoke-fruity notes, so much appreciated by connoisseurs of quality wines.

Something stronger: Wódka Baczewski

The two hundred-year tradition of this spirit obliges to invariably classic quality, which is represented by its label. It is hard to tell how many times we have had a toast with it and although we do not promote excessive alcohol consumption, we know that Polish feast with a glass is already a tradition.
