We came in for dinner and left at two. Nobody made us feel it was late — and that, now, is a rare luxury.
Marta and Paweł · anniversaryAn evening that never looks at the clock
In a tenement house from 1904, ten minutes from Łazienki, Salon Wilanowski keeps a seasonal kitchen, a cellar drawn from Central Europe, and a discreet room upstairs where cards are a social pastime — played with symbolic chips, never for money.
Six ways through an evening
Each page holds one part of the house: the building itself, the kitchen, the cellar, the card room, the private rooms, and the way a table is booked.
Voices from the house
I brought four clients from Munich. The kitchen spoke for me all evening, and at the card table we closed something that had been open for half a year.
Tomasz W. · working dinnerI had never played cards in my life. Someone explained the rules with more patience than I deserved, and I finished the night talking to a man from Kraków.
Aleksandra R. · Thursday eveningOne table at a time
Forty-four covers is a deliberate limit, which means the room fills early on Fridays and Saturdays. A week ahead is usually enough; the card room always needs a seat put aside.
The dining room
Wednesday to Sunday, kitchen from seven until half past eleven. Monday and Tuesday the house is closed unless it has been taken privately.
The card room
Opens after service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and closes at one. Sixteen seats, always reserved in advance, adults only.
Taking the house
The whole tenement goes to one party for up to forty-four guests, or a single room for something smaller. Three weeks notice is comfortable.
The cellar
Tastings run in the vaulted cellar before service, for up to twelve people, and are booked like any other evening.
