The food is possibly not the smartest choice for a day when my legs are sticking to the furniture: the charms of confit duck leg with braised red cabbage and apple and fig compote, and honey and pomegranate-glazed golonka (oh, hello, it’s that pork knuckle).
From the excellent bread – cakey mixed grain, dark rye, springy sourdough – with pickles, butter and sour cream to a rum baba the size of a weightlifter’s bicep (waitress: “If you’re greedy, you can pour in all the rum,” so we do), it’s a meal to make you pine for an old country you don’t have any business pining for.
The food is a captivating mix of clean, astringent flavours – fat, fresh radishes, all peppery crunch, served with salt and dill-laced cream cheese – and unabashed stodge: kopytka, deep-fried potato dumplings, with a dip of roast red peppers.
There’s a gentleness to Ognisko, despite the chilli vodka that strips all feeling from your palate and turns your eyeballs pedigree Pekinese.
I can imagine Ognisko as the haunt of Barbara Pym heroines, drooping into their roast hake with spelt and wild mushrooms every bit as elegantly as the dried roses that cascade down the all-white walls.
