RESTAURANT WEEK POLISH EDITION

Restaurant Week in Poland is a culinary event that takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn. During this event, some of the best restaurants in Poland offer a special menu at a discounted price. The goal of Restaurant Week is to promote Polish cuisine and culture, encourage people to try new restaurants, and support the local food industry.

Participating restaurants usually create a special three-course menu for Restaurant Week, consisting of an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. The menu is designed to showcase the best of Polish cuisine, using fresh and seasonal ingredients. The price for the set menu is fixed and affordable, making it accessible to a wide range of customers.

Restaurant Week has become increasingly popular in Poland in recent years, with more and more restaurants participating in the event. Some of the most well-known restaurants in Poland take part, including those awarded with Michelin stars. However, it is also an opportunity for smaller and less-known restaurants to showcase their culinary skills and attract new customers.

The event is not only popular among locals, but also attracts tourists from all over the world who come to experience Polish cuisine. The special menu created for Restaurant Week allows visitors to sample a variety of traditional Polish dishes, such as: pierogi, bigos, and żurek, as well as modern twists on classic recipes.

BOSKO RESTAURANT IN BIELSKO-BIAŁA

I had an amazing pleasure to try festival menu in Bosco, a popular restaurant located in Bielsko-Biała, a city in southern Poland. 

This restaurant is known for its authentic Italian cuisine, cosy atmosphere, and excellent service. The restaurant's menu features a variety of traditional Italian dishes, such as pizzas, pastas, and risottos, as well as meat and seafood dishes. All the ingredients used in the dishes are fresh and of the highest quality, and the chefs at Bosco are known for their attention to detail and passion for Italian cuisine. One of the most popular dishes at Bosco is the wood-fired pizza, which is made using a traditional recipe and cooked in a wood-burning oven. The pizza is crispy, flavourful, and topped with a variety of fresh ingredients, such as mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil. 

In addition to the delicious food, Bosco is also known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated in a rustic Italian style, with wooden tables and chairs, brick walls, and soft lighting. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make sure that every guest feels welcome and comfortable.Bosco is a great place to dine with family and friends, and it is also a popular spot for romantic dinners and special occasions. The restaurant has a wine list featuring a variety of Italian wines, as well as other international selections, and the desserts are also not to be missed, with options like tiramisu and panna cotta.

Overall, Restauracja Bosco is a must-visit for anyone in Bielsko-Biała who is looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

Cars could be divided into: nice, ugly, practical, capacious, economical and completely unnecessary like electric ones.

POLISH VERSION

Alfa Romeo Stelvio, on the other hand, is the kind of vehicle that grabs your heart at first sight and sticks in your consciousness so deeply, that you won't rest until you hold the key to your own "queen of a tow truck".

STELVIO

It is the name of the town and the highest passable Passo Della Stelvio in the Italian Eastern Alps. Due to the numerous switchbacks, elevation gains of up to 1880 m and an average slope of 7%, this 20-kilometer section of the SS-38 road is very often used to test the capabilities of all kinds of vehicles to the extreme.

By naming its first ever SUV STELVIO, Alfa wanted to emphasize two undeniable features of this car, i.e. its BEAUTY AND CHARACTER. The Italians started making the first attempts at production in 2010, but finally Stelvio had its premiere at the Auto Show in Los Angeles in 2016. The location was not accidental, because this model was created with the thought of conquering the American market.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of Stelvio on the automotive market stirred uptrends and set a new, better direction for the already present models: Audi Q5, BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC.

However, the charming Italian is not only a nicely bent sheet metal in the ALFA RED colour, it is also a devilish power. The QUADRIFOGLIO version under the hood has a castrated Ferrari 154 engine, a modest V6 - 2.9l with a power of 510 HP. 3.8 seconds to hundreds, top speed 283 km / h. In addition, lightweight construction, bi-turbo, variable valve timing and direct fuel injection. All elements of this puzzle made the Stelvio the fastest mass-produced SUV on the market, outclassing the then leader, i.e. the ugly thing that saved the existence of the PORSCHE brand - the CAYENNE model in the TURBO S version.

Stelvio is not only a cloverleaf version, there are also cheaper options to choose from: super, executive and business, as well as three drive units to choose from: 2.0 MultiAir Turbo 230 or 280 hp or MultiJet 2.2 with a modest 210 hp.

INTERIOR

Due to the fact that the tested model comes from the times when the competition for stuffing as many tablets and touchpads as possible into a square centimetre of the cockpit was not yet in force - it is quiet, minimalistic and functional. Ultra-comfortable seats that make you jump out of the car like a deer, even after a long journey. The space in the back is equally comfortable, and the boot can fit up to 525 litres of prosecco.

Over the years, the copy presented in the photos has undergone a number of modifications that clearly prove that even something that is perfect can be improved.

LET'S GO!

Numerous tests on the German highway have shown that this is not such a baby, you can easily go up to 250 km/h with the feeling that in the case of the flashing sales representative lights in Fabia, we still have enough steam to lose this annoying view from the rearview mirror.

An additional flavour to the ride is added by the D.N.A. system hidden in the magic knob. By turning it up or down, we are able to adjust the car to our driving style depending on current preferences or road conditions. A DYNAMIC mode will take extra zlotys out of your pocket for excessively used fuel, ALL WEATHER will bring you safely home in the biggest snowstorm through icy surfaces.

The tested version, in addition to a number of gearbox and engine modifications to improve performance, for which many thanks to WORKS by Grzegorz Wiekiera. In addition, it is equipped with the "R like, rather, do not turn on" mode, and in fact RACE, which deprives this car of any muzzles. An option for forty-year-olds without brakes who don't mind spending money on new tires, pads and washing the upholstery on the passenger side.

Regardless of the selected auto mode, it drives with incredible lightness. It is not characterized by excessive understeer or oversteer. It perfectly enters the corners, even those straight from Stelvio, forgiving a lot to the inefficient driver. Regardless of whether we are rushing in a traffic jam or rubbing the nose with a sales representative in Fabia, driving pleasure is at a very high level.

COMMUNITY

Due to the fact that Alfa Romeo has not been able to boast of stunning sales results for many years, even good quality products, and perhaps not without significance is the fact that a visit to a randomly selected Polish dealer, and then the Italian manufacturer's ASO has something of a masochism .

Maybe that's why the group of owners of more expensive Fiats is very modest in Poland, but of what quality. All, or almost all Alfists exude an incredibly nice disposition. They greet each other on the road, accosted in the car park willingly and extensively share their impressions of driving the Alfa and their knowledge of current towing rates.

And if the topic of tow trucks has already been mentioned, it's from the latest ranking of the British "What Car?" it is clear that the Stelvio is in the top five least reliable cars in the large SUV category, leaving far behind the Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, BMW X3 or Land Rover Discovery otherwise known as a “disaster”.

That is why this joke with a beard has not been funny for a long time, but only wonders how much tow trucks actually cost, because he has never used them. In this thread, you can always turn to the owners of the German DAS AUTO in diesel, who are much more familiar with the subject than the owners of 147, 156 and 159 all together.

ANY DEFECTS?

Not to be too sweet, because this is not a sponsored article, but there are some disadvantages. The first of them and driving me personally crazy are the turn signals - who programmed it and what they mean, probably even the oldest resident of Piedimonte San Germano has no idea.

Two is a fuel usage.

Such a defect is not a defect, but unfortunately, in order for the Stelvio to drive at a noticeable level of "serotonin secretion", we have to take into account the loss of about 15 litres (overpaid petrol from Orlen) for every 100 kilometres. It is known that with such a large car it's hard to blame it, but for comparison, my previous SUV - BMW X6 with similar power and driving mode, did not take more than the equivalent of 10 litres from the wallet.

However, the new Highway Code works so effectively that you can safely eat up to a level of less than 8.5 litres. Option for bores and those who already have unpaid 20 penalty points.

SO NO RISK NO FUN

If you have no money - be creative not imitative!
