Central European
Foodies’ Diary: Mayday!
Mayday! Mayday! My partner is seriously considering having a Man Vs. Food moment at Essen Restaurant this month, during their Schnitzilla Challenge…
Food Society
While some might say that the only thing that can result from merging a catering business and restaurant is a crisis of identity, I found a certain appeal in this quirky Darlo lovechild. It's shabby chic, Poznań style - with overstuffed armchairs, kitsch cushions and proud Poles, like Darius Grygo, manning the floor.
Two Good Eggs *UPDATED*
Since my last visit, new owners Andrew Menczel and Laci Csobonyei have taken the stark out of this Philippe Starck space. With Laci’s own artworks now adorning the walls, and a mural of Budapest backing the kitchen, the overall effect is quite homely.
The Balkan Grill
This recently reborn space will speak to those who have a penchant for the cuisines of Central Europe. Climb the stairs from Norton Street and leave behind the buzz of ‘Little Italy’ for a (much needed) cultural interloper.
