The
restaurants and cafes I visit can be divided into three categories.
Ones that I visit once and decide never to set my foot in them again -
I don't feel like writing about them because I don't want to turn
into Gordon Ramsay. ;) Ones that I visit once or twice and, though I
like them, I don't become a
regular customer. And ones that I visit as often as time and money
allows.
Mięta
Resto Bar (meaning spearmint in Polish) definitely belongs to
the last category. This Mediterranean restaurant is located almost
exactly opposite Dynia, which I described here. But while I go
to Dynia for a quick coffee or a chat with friends, Mięta is usually
reserved for our family celebrations.
Mięta
drew my attention even before it was opened. A few years ago on my
way to the library in Rajska Street, I was wondering what will open
in the old building with a beautiful columned porch. I watched with
interest how the house was being renovated, paying special attention
to mint leaves painted on the garden gate. No wonder I was one of the
first customers as soon as the restaurant opened.
At
first the food was good but not outstanding so we patronized Mięta
mainly due to its atmosphere created by old furniture and appetizing
photos on the walls. Fortunately, after some time the quality of the
food improved so now we go there tempted by various Mediterranean
delicacies. My favourite dish are dumplings with pear and blue cheese
washed down with limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur), while my
friend Jul has developed a taste for wraps with chicken. Other dishes
are (usually) also very tasty.
Mięta
is a perfect place for a small party, meeting with friends or
romantic date. In the summer you can sit in an ambient beer garden
with a view of a historic Mehoffer House. Most of the dishes served
in the restaurant are garnished with a sprig of the eponymous mint,
which was a symbol of hospitality in ancient Greece. It may be
situated in an old house, but Mięta is definitely in mint condition.
