Zbożenna 庄园

Offering a classic omakase experience on the outskirts of the city, this restaurant’s minimalist design is all the better for directing your focus towards Chef Alon Than and his team as they work behind the 12-seater counter. The menu encompasses 20 to 30 pieces of superbly crafted sushi, featuring top-shelf produce including Hokkaido scallops, Icelandic sea urchin and Spanish tuna, all gently enhanced with beautifully judged seasonings and condiments in typical Edomae style. Admiring the chefs’ work up-close is part of the appeal, especially their mesmerising knife skills.

Managing to retain its neighbourhood feel while serving as a destination restaurant within the city, Rozbrat 20 has continued to evolve onwards and upwards over the years. Today, it’s a smart spot where the front room affords a view of the skilled chefs as they work on intricate dishes that have a creative edge – such as a deep, delicious consommé made from unused bread, or expertly cooked langoustine with kohlrabi and kombu. Look out for the well-judged butter flavoured with Marmite too, which the chef took a liking to while working in London.

Chef Andrea Camastra hails from Puglia, lives in Poland and has a passion for Asian cuisine: all three of these have an influence over the tasting menus at his original restaurant. The combinations of flavours and styles are intriguing and satisfying in equal measure, with several stunning multi-part dishes such as the delightful bread course and 'Sweet Things' dessert. For the full experience, go for the longer 'Maestro' menu and accompany it with one of the wine pairings.

Tucked away down a cul-de-sac filled with several other eateries, this understandably popular brasserie is underpinned by the flame-centric cooking of the Josper grill. Top-quality produce from jumbo prawns to beef tenderloin are grilled with skill and served with simple, complementary garnishes. Enjoy the cooking on the terrace, in the conservatory or in the main dining room near the buzzing open kitchen. The efficient team run the busy space with skill.

With its sage-green walls, natural wooden furnishings and paintings of Tuscan landscapes, Mela Rossa brings a small slice of Italy to Radom. The chef spent 12 years in ‘Il Bel Paese’ and it shows in authentic dishes showcasing high-quality, well-sourced ingredients cooked with care. The homemade pasta is a highlight, with different shapes thoughtfully paired with the appropriate accompaniment – such as squid-ink trenette with prawns and a bisque-style sauce.

Just outside of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, you'll find this trendy spot with a wine bar on its lower level and a rustic bistro upstairs. The well-priced cooking has a Mediterranean heart and is perfect for sharing, featuring interesting plant-based dishes such as a winning combination of lentils, raspberries and red peppers. The wine list plays a starring role, providing an extensive choice that largely focuses on natural and bio-dynamic wines from lesser-known producers.

Its name may suggest Italian cuisine lies in wait, but Acanti in fact offers a refined fusion of modern Polish dishes with influences from across Europe. Italy does make an appearance however, in dishes like the terrific pumpkin ravioli, which exemplifies the kitchen’s ability to delicately balance layers of flavour. Everything takes place in a bright ground-floor dining room and a more seductive, dark-hued basement, both within the Aparthotel T12, a beautiful converted old tenement. The friendly young team adds to the experience.
