Seasonality on a Plate: Behind the Scenes of the Spring Menu at InFormal Kitchen

20.03.2026

Although the calendar spring is still ahead of us, you can already feel it in the air at Plac Małachowskiego 2—and most importantly, on our plates! For us, this transition is one of the most exciting stages of the year. It’s a time when heavier winter flavors give way to energizing greens, lightness, and ingredients that evoke the first rays of sunshine streaming through our large windows.

The InFormal Kitchen team is hard at work. We are searching for the perfect balance between classic and modern, testing new techniques, and selecting the best produce from our suppliers. While we are intensively working on the full reveal of the new menu, we didn’t want to keep you waiting. We’ve decided to give you a sneak peek and introduce the first pre-release specials so you can feel that breath of freshness right now.

The Queen of the Season: Asparagus in a Royal Style

We cannot imagine spring without asparagus. Our pre-release star is Asparagus on avocado mousse with prosciutto crudo and a poached egg with Hollandaise sauce. This is a vegetable that demands respect and the right setting, which is why we focused on a technical combination of textures and flavors that complement each other perfectly:

  • The Foundation: A velvety mousse made from ripe avocado, providing a buttery structure that anchors the dish.
  • The Contrast: Salty, crispy prosciutto crudo, lightly seared to break up the tenderness of the vegetables.
  • The Heart of the Dish: A perfectly prepared poached egg. The key is the liquid yolk which, when cut, creates a natural sauce, emulsifying with our homemade Hollandaise.
  • The Finish: Our Hollandaise sauce is prepared using the classic method, ensuring the right acidity to “lift” the flavor of the young asparagus.

This dish is the pure essence of spring sunshine. Light, elegant, and incredibly fresh.

An Italian Classic Reimagined: Tomato Carpaccio and Burrata

For those longing for Mediterranean ease, we’ve prepared something special. Carpaccio is usually associated with meat, but we decided to pay tribute to a product that will soon be in full bloom—succulent tomatoes.

  • The Base: Ripe, meaty tomatoes sliced into even, appetizing rounds. They provide a solid, sweet-and-sour foundation that balances the creaminess of the other ingredients.
  • The Star: Creamy Burrata, which releases its velvety center when cut, adding a luxurious texture and gently softening the tomatoes’ acidity.
  • The Aroma: Homemade Basil Salsa—prepared from scratch in our kitchen, full of fresh herbs for a deep, herbal scent and ultimate refreshment.
  • The Finish: High-quality extra virgin olive oil and flakes of sea salt to highlight the vegetables’ natural sweetness.
  • The Essential Side: Crispy ciabatta straight from the oven. We serve it warm because we know you won’t want to leave a single drop of that aromatic salsa and creamy burrata behind!
