Reviews
The food is incredible, every single dish was very well thought through. Modern but not too experimental, ideal to get a taste of today‘s Warsaw. Special shoutout to Aleksandra, one of the sommeliers, who took her time to recommend a few spots in the city and was the best host!
Dyletanci is an elegant fine dining restaurant with beautiful interiors and very professional service. We had the 7-course tasting menu, and the presentation was excellent. The atmosphere is calm and perfect for a special occasion. However, the overall experience was disappointing mainly because of the pricing transparency. The wine selection by the glass is limited, and the pricing is confusing — the final bill for wine was much higher than expected. Also, the champagne offered at the beginning feels like a welcome drink, but it is actually charged at a very high price, which is not clearly communicated. While the food and service were good, the final bill was extremely high (around 1800 PLN), and it didn’t feel justified by the overall experience. Overall, a good fine dining place, but not good value for money, and the lack of price clarity left a negative impression.
Better than several one star Michelin restaurants I’ve recently been to, I’d definitely recommend Dyletanci for anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Warsaw. The wine pairings went extremely well with the 7-course tasting menu and the service was excellent.
Just a great night! The food was incredible, the wine list simply amazing, and the staff were a joy! The tasting menu was balanced and well designed, with stunning dishes that join polish and Mediterranean cuisine in a unique way!
