Five star Polish cuisine is a vibrant scene of contrasts, ranging from contemporary international venues with excellent fusion cuisine to traditional places with Jewish and Polish recipes with a strong feeling of nostalgia. Although Polish cuisine relies heavily on meat and game, inventive chefs have managed to bring in some French, Italian and Asian flavors to the menus and create some memorable savory dishes that combine the local and the international. Two such places are AleGloria and Ancora, the latter allowing you to visit their kitchen any time as a chef's bonus. However, if you are looking for something really traditional in an equally conservative atmosphere, have a Polish/Jewish meal at Ariel or at Klezmer Hois Restaurant/Cafe, where you can also learn something about the local eating culture. On the opposite side there's the eclectic Metropolitan, with a large open space and an urban feel, a good place for young crowds of locals and tourists alike.
