Poland
Prohibicja is ideally placed on Podwale not far from the Royal Castle and Old Town.
In keeping with its name the restaurant has a mock up of a still above the bar downstairs and the white washed walls are pock marked with fake bullet holes. A suitably theatrical design for somewhere that is owned by four Polish actors.
The menu has both Polish and American influences - including dishes such as Spare Ribs with French Fries and Pike/Perch with Mashed Potatoes, Spinach and Caper Sauce - the food is simple but well cooked and tasty, the service excellent, friendly and efficient.

A superb up-market restaurant in the similarly superb Hotel Rialto.
The ambience is perfect; walk in to be greeted by efficient, courteous waiters to a background of soft jazz music with fresh flowers (replaced daily by an appologetic florist who obviously thinks his day-old lilacs are an awful sight to any curious-eyed diner).
The menu is a meat-lover's dream, and even if you're not, there is enough to make you want to order many more than 3 courses, and for around £12 per dish, you can afford to indulge a little in a restaurant you are most likely never to experience again.

Billed as a little bit of Africa in Poland, it’s actually very Euro-chic. But the food is hot, décor cool, and atmosphere chilled.
Location: On Foksal, half a block from Nowy Swiat.
Address: Ulica Foksal 18.
