   Szeged through taste - Alabárdos Étterem 24-3-2024 Igor Kasiński Recently I came back from a short excursion to Hungary. There I stayed in Szeged, the third-largest city in Hungary, known for its beautiful architecture and renowned  university. In my opinion, the gem of the city is its cuisine. Places to eat there are ubiquitous - wherever you look, you will spot either a fancy restaurant or a cosy tavern serving local delicacies. Among all the dining spots, one stood out to me, and I want to share the experience with you.  Alabárdos Étterem is a chain of Hungarian high-end restaurants that have been awarded numerous culinary accolades, including Michelin stars. The one in Szeged recently earned its first Michelin star, awarded by Manuel Fafian, a senior vice president of the Michelin Experience. Alabárdos serves both global cuisine and traditional Hungarian dishes with a modern twist. The menu offers meat and vegan options, featuring 14 main courses and 22 wine c...

                     Does “The time of contempt” live up to “The Witcher” fan’s expectations?                                                               Date: 13.01.2024                                                          Reviewer: Ignacy Kielek    I am an eager fan of “the witcher saga” and I believe it’s one of my favourite. Not only is it very engaging due to its vivid descriptions of fight scenes (often brutal) and its atmosphere of mystery, but it also presents multiple perspectives and viewpoints. Every character has pros and cons. Each of them comes from a different background which shapes who they become. However...

THE BEST KEBAB IN TOWN? REVIEW - FIERY KEBAB Date: 13.01.2025 Reviewer: Zuzanna Skalska Position: kebab lover  Although Kalisz is a relatively small city, there are multiple fast food restaurants to choose from. Fiery kebab is a well-known place which takes pride in its quick, filling, and tasty meals inspired by Lebanese cuisine. Does this restaurant live up to the hype? In this review I am going to focus on the menu, prices, quality, atmosphere and obviously taste. Fiery Kebab offers a wide range of Lebanese kebab options to pick and choose from. The variety is splendid - the menu is filled with numerous options with or without meat, which makes this a vegetarian-friendly space. I was intrigued by the concept of cheese and pickles in a kebab, and so I immediately opted for that, despite being a picky eater. Their menu consists of countless kebab options, desserts, appetizers and drinks.  Their prices threw me off guard when I noticed them. Never have I seen such a cheap keba...

  Will you follow me to the woods? Jennifer’s Body is a 2009 film directed by Karyn Kusama, blending comedy and horror in a way that still resonates today. Starring Megan Fox as Jennifer and Amanda Seyfried as Needy (whose real name is Anita Lesnicky), the movie thrives on the dynamic between these two actresses. They bring such authenticity to their roles that their chemistry essentially carries the entire production. No wonder the film holds an impressive 4.4 out of 5 rating online. In this review, I want to dive into how Jennifer and Needy’s past experiences shape their emotional journeys and character transformations throughout the movie. The story revolves around Jennifer Check, the ultimate high school "It girl." She's beautiful, popular, and oozes confidence—every step, every look, and every outfit is designed to capture attention. In contrast, her best friend Needy is dorky and shy, living in Jennifer’s shadow. This stark contrast sets the stage for the film's...

In Karpacz - a city full of places where you can eat - there is a well-known Italian restaurant “Mamma Mia”. Not only is it one of the most talked about restaurants, but it is also top-rated. In this review, I’ll determine whether ‘Mamma Mia’ is truly worth your time and money—or just all bark and no bite. I will focus on the quality of the cuisine and service, ambiance, interior, pricing, and some other meaningful aspects. What do you value the most when it comes to visiting a restaurant?  Nowhere else in Karpacz have I found such a wide range of meals including vegetarian-friendly and vegan options, as in “Mamma Mia”. Their menu is filled with a variety of innovative and original fares, showcasing top-quality ingredients.

  date: 13.01.2025 r.  Reviewer: Antonia Tyc  lubiekebabyeloelo@gmail.com  Fiery Kebab: New Chapter in Grilled Perfection Located in Śródmiejska, Kalisz, Fiery Kebab recently reopened with a fresh vision, a completely renovated space, and new ideas. As a devoted kebab lover, I was eager to give it a second try, hoping the changes would improve the dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the inviting warmth of grilled meat and aromatic spices set a promising tone.  The kebabs were undoubtedly the star of the menu with various side dishes as well, including fries, hummus and salads. I had a difficult time deciding between wide ranges of options, but I ended up ordering their special “lavash with cheese”. Perfectly melted cheese and delightfully grilled meat with a well-balanced blend of herbs and flavors created a well-balanced combination. The fresh quality of vegetables and meat was evident in every bite. Regarding side dishes, specifically fries, I f...
