Restauracja ELIXIR by Dom Wódki | polish restaurant Warsaw

Amazing food, we had the 10 years anniversary dinner. They offer a vodka or wine pairing with the dinner. I don’t drink alcohol, so I got some excellent nonalcoholic cocktails. Warm recommendation.

We visited Elixir by Dom Wódki based on a recommendation from the concierge at the Bristol Hotel, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay in Warsaw. Tomasz was our host, and his service was outstanding; warm, entertaining, and full of fascinating insights about the restaurant’s history and its impressive variety of vodkas. The food was exceptional; every detail in each dish was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. We ended the evening with Tomasz’s recommendation of two exquisite flavored vodkas, which was the perfect conclusion to a memorable dinner. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Warsaw.

Run by the Polish Vodka Museum, ELIXIR is a fine dining restaurant that reimagines traditional Polish cuisine with refined techniques, including French culinary influences. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted, transforming rustic flavours into elegant, sophisticated plates. The pierogi, in particular, were a revelation—light and delicate, unlike any I’ve tasted elsewhere in Poland. A delightful surprise. The restaurant also offers an exceptional selection of premium vodkas, some of which are rarely found elsewhere. Impressively smooth and aromatic, they are worlds apart from the harsh spirits one might expect.

Dining at Elixir was one of the most memorable culinary experiences I’ve had in Warsaw. From the moment you step through the beautifully lit entrance proudly displaying its Michelin 2024 recognition, you can sense that this is no ordinary restaurant — it’s a celebration of Polish culture, taste, and artistry. I chose the degustation menu with vodka pairing, and it was a masterful journey through Polish flavors reimagined with modern creativity. Each course arrived like a small piece of art — beautifully plated, thoughtfully portioned, and paired with a carefully selected vodka that enhanced every flavor note. The harmony between the food and the spirits was extraordinary; smooth, balanced, and elevating. From the tender cuts of meat and velvety purées to the elegant desserts, every bite told a story of craftsmanship and respect for ingredients. The service was impeccable — knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about Polish gastronomy. The ambiance is refined yet welcoming, with soft lighting, elegant décor, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger over every sip and taste. Elixir is far more than a restaurant — it’s an experience. A perfect blend of tradition and innovation, and a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates fine dining and the true spirit of Poland.

Had a lovely dinner while seated outside. It was a clear evening and they had blankets available. We ordered a glass of bubbly to start and then had mushroom soup to start. It was delicious. Not too heavy with lots of earthy flavor. My main was the venison with mashed potatoes. It was very tasty. Tender and perfectly prepared. Plating was very pretty! My favorite part of the meal was the dessert. We shared the raspberry meringue and it was excellent. So yummy and perfect for sharing.

Excellent choice to experience fine Polish food and to explore Polish vodka, of which they are rightfully proud! Must do their recommended vodka pairings with each course (the pours are very reasonable and you won’t overdo it)! The excitement of the staff as they recommend and describe each pour, and why it will pair well with the dish, is contagious.

Daniel was the BEST! This tasting menu and dining experience was one of the BEST of our lives! Definitely add the vodka pairing. Seriously. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

What a unique and phenomenal experience. My waiter Kuba took excellent care of me and I thoroughly enjoyed this artistic gourmet food. The vodka pairing was really fun!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! That's all I can say--this place is nothing short of remarkable. Totally, 100% worth it. Hands down, one of the best meals I've had in Poland. The mushroom soup? Heavenly. The steak tartare? Divine. The duck? I'm still thinking about it. And don't even get me started on the dessert--it was the cherry on top of an already perfect meal. We would return in a heartbeat. Seriously, they deserve that Michelin star, and then some!

This restaurant definitely deserves a big spot on Warsaw culinary map. We stopped for a quick lunch without a reservation and got seated right away. If you are fan of vodka this place has a great pairings and lot of different types to choose. We chose beers from small brewery. They also have a selection of wines but not that wide if it comes to wine by the glass unless you want to get the whole bottle. They have nice deal for lunch with appetizer, main and dessert but you can still choose a la carte and this is what we did. Chicken broth--served with veal dumplings. Delicious an rich in flavor. `Szuba` Herring--this deconstruction of classic herring salad was a blast and the fish quality was outstanding. this was definitely one of the best herring dishes we ever had. Its a must try. Black Pudding Tempura "Kaszanka"--black pudding is a very well known polish cuisine staple and this idea of serving it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy outer layer containing warm and delicious inside served with carmelized onions, mustard and cherries was a perfect appetizer. Zuchini flowers--super crispy with delicious filling containing goat cheese and topped with almonds and rice chip. Light, savory and very satisfying. All the dishes had an awesome visual presentation that went with great flavor as well. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely spot with large portions of delicious food and pairings of vodka. The space was overheated and initial service a bit slow but beyond that I would recommend this place. Two courses and dessert is plenty unless you're sharing. The mushroom soup was great and duck was amazing.

Food was excellent. Service was very attentive. Staff spoke English. You should do the vodka pairing.

I know, "Vodka Atelier" is pretentious as f**k. But, do get past that, for the food is stellar, the staff is friendly to a fault, the (infused) vodkas are excellent, and did I mention the food is stellar? The cuisine is modernized/re-interpreted versions of traditional polish cuisine, and is *stellar* * sous-vide eggs w/ the beef tartar * pork knuckles that have been de-constructed for you (and don't worry, there is still way more than you can consume) * black-pudding in "spring roll" form and so forth. It may sound wonky (or, well, pretentious), but trust me, it is *extremely* well done. And yes, the place is, technically, a "vodka bar", with a bajillion flavored (and not) vodkas available - each of the items on the menu has a suggested "pre" and "post" vodka shot, all of which actually pair well with the food. And yes, it might be a "mini" shot, but, well, you'll still feel the effects. So, be careful!!!

Well, everything has been said by others here already. Can only add that the desserts are also worth trying - goat (sic!) cheesecake with a (master)piece of yolk cake (sękacz) and raspberry sorbet paired with Majewski's Polish cherry plum liquer did crown the dinner.

Exceptional food with immaculate presentation. Vodka pairings that will make you wonder why you haven't been drinking the stuff your whole life. Atmosphere that will definitely lead to a second date. What more could you ask for? Maybe a larger gut so you could try every offering. Elixir was the perfect antidote for all of my ailments.

The food was amazing and the service was equally amazing. This is a restaurant where you can order literally anything on the menu and it'll taste good.

Great, just great. Good friendly service, inviting atmosphere, good selection of food and alcohol. We had pierogi with duck, traditional beetroot soup with modern twist, and traditional sledzie. Everything was accompanied by traditional vodka. I tried horseradish vodka and I have to say, very interesting combination :-). Very lively place so you wont get bored quick, but at the same time place is not so loud. High quality, the only minus is the very small portions!

Wonderful food with amazing vodka pairings I make sure to visit Dom Wódki each time I am in Warsaw.

A true culinary experience. The restaurant combines their wonderful dishes with matching vodkas. 2017 the restaurant received a star in the guide michelin.

Great place with superb twist on classic polish dishes (kaszanka, golonka, mielony, etc.) with excellent alcohol pairings. Big selection of cocktails or just vodka, with some very unique like 'chrzanowa' (horseradish flavor).Excellent presentation, great attention to detail. I've had beef tartar which was superbly done, and pork hock (golonka) wich was a total surprise, not what you would normally expect. No bone, no skin, no fat and on a bed of sauerkraut, with sides of young potatoes (could be better done) and horseradish ice cream (yummy). I'm normally not a pork hock fan but this one I highly recommend to anyone. Fish (halibut) was fantastic as well, so it was kotlet mielony (pork). Kotlet de volaille (chicken) was an average though. To finish, the ajerkoniak was the best I've ever had. As a bonus, you can buy and take with you home different bottles of vodka.

Simply superb! A modern twist on traditional polish cuisine. Friendly staff, excellent Vodka and whisky selection and great food.
