Rozana Restaurant, Warsaw



I love this place!

I have had the pleasure of dining here a few times, each one, a fantastic experience.  This is the place that I bring special guests to, book for celebrations or enjoy a final lunch before returning to New York.












Rozana is located in a residential neighborhood,  in a pretty villa with a lovely garden.  Sitting inside, you get the feeling of visiting a really wealthy grandma with a great decorating sense and fantastic cooking abilities.

This was the first time that we sat outside in the pretty, green garden.  It was warm, quiet and the birds were chirping. 








I have sampled a lot of different dishes at Rozana:

  delicious borscht with a side of young potatoes with bacon bits,


 hot and full of flavor chicken soup with homemade noodles,


  veal liver, onions and a baked pear,


 fresh Baltic cod with rice and a sauerkraut salad,


  beef tenderloin tartare,



  tasty pork cutlet with fresh potatoes and bigos like cabbage,

  
 marinated herring,


But I always come back to my all time favorite:

 loin of milk-fed veal with garland of young carrots.


The veal is so tender, you really don't need a knife.  The taste is wonderful, the flavors complement each other in a perfect way.  It's a simple dish but done the right way.

The best part of Rozana is something that one gets a visual taste of at the entrance: the dessert trolley.  The wooden, white dessert trolley sits surrounded by the most beautiful flower arrangements.  Here are some photos I took over a few visits,









Their desserts are delicious as well,

My mom's favorite, meringue layer cake with orange and almond cream and cointreau liqueur,


 apple pie made with nicely tart apples,


 plum cake that was so delicious, I asked for two pieces to go (for the flight back home!),
 

 My all time favorite and really one of the reasons i keep coming back:
Strawberries baked in kogel mogel.  Kogel mogel is a childhood favorite and it consists of an egg yolk and sugar beaten till they form a wonderfully silky cream.  It sounds strange, I know, but it is delicious.  sometimes my grandma would add a touch of cocoa to change it up a bit.

Kogel mogel baked with the strawberries helps to create an extraordinary dessert. 
   





 Dinners are eaten with the accompaniment of piano music.
 


 Each room is unique and very tastefully decorated.





This room is my favorite,






Rozana restaurant is a really wonderful place, with delicious food, accommodating and very friendly staff and a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

Dallal Restaurant, Tel Aviv

Dallal is located in the heart of Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv's oldest district and the first Jewish  neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa.  It was built as a suburb in 1887 and is now a very trendy area full of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.   I have been buying breads, cakes and croissants at the Dallal Bakery for a few years now, but this was my first time dining at their restaurant on the corner of Shabazi Street.   Dallal takes up a good chunk of the block since it was built on the ruins of three restored houses next to the Suzanne Dallal Cultural Center. There are a few sitting options while dining at Dallal: outside in the small garden-like area, in the enclosed courtyard with a view of the sky, and inside the restaurant which feels like old time Paris. Dallal is a perfect place for a fun lunch with friends, or a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. There are two lunch options at Dallal: 78 ILS for two appetizers and bread...

Hakosem, Tel Aviv

If you Google: Best shawarma in Tel Aviv, the name Hakosem is bound to pop up close to the top of any list.  It is very easy to find decent shawarma and falafel in Tel Aviv, but we wanted to try what is considered to be one of the best.  Hakosem located in a nice residential neighborhood is a food stand with plenty of tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk.  They serve superb shawarma, falafel, sabich, shakshuka, shnitzel, and veggies.            The line is pretty constant throughout the day, but it moves fast.  Free falafel balls are gifted to the  hungry customers to keep them happy while they wait.        I found the place to be very clean.     Freshly chopped veggies are continuously brought in from the kitchen in the back.         My husband could not resist the shawarma in lafa.  It was quite lar...
