Signature Seasonal Cuisine

New Menu at Arte

The new arte menu features Emil Klimas’s original cuisine, which celebrates fall and familiar flavors rediscovered anew. The rhythm is set by the season—the ingredients available at this time of year and their aromas. Mushrooms, traditional soups, and original interpretations of regional classics come together to create a menu rooted in Polish cuisine but open to new expressions.

“Each dish is built around a few distinctive elements, deliberately combined to bring out each other’s flavors.”

The chef combines Polish ingredients with French techniques, and draws inspiration from the clarity of Scandinavian compositions in his presentation. Each dish is built around a few distinctive elements, deliberately combined so that they bring out each other’s flavors and create a cohesive whole. The strength of the composition, resulting from the balance between ingredients and the precision of their pairing, is a key element of the chef’s philosophy at arte.

His dishes can surprise you with their appearance and evoke familiar associations with the very first bite. This is certainly true of Poznań-style potato with gzik—served in an unexpected way, yet retaining its familiar flavor, refined down to the last detail.

Our original interpretations preserve what we love about Polish cuisine while allowing guests to discover it from a new perspective. The focus remains on the guest and the pleasure of eating—in an atmosphere that encourages you to linger at the table a little longer.
