Review: Warsaw Intercontinental Brunch Buffet

After reading many reviews (yet again) we found the best Brunch in Warsaw to be at the Intercontinental (where we were staying. According to the internet, not only was the hotel a great deal, but they also served up a mean brunch buffet.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we called the front desk asking for a table at the brunch buffet, unfortunately they told us that they were all out of tables at the normal buffet, but we could get seats at the secondary restaurant. We were a little uncertain what this meant in terms of the buffet, but we really wanted to give it a try so we accepted their offer. Upon arriving we quickly asked the waitress if there were any extra tables in the main room just to test our luck - and to our surprise there were!

We didn't have a flight till later that afternoon so we decided that we would spend as much time in the buffet as possible. To start, we ordered champagne and orange juice, as not only was the buffet all-you-can-eat but it was also all-you-can-drink. After receiving our drinks, we scouted out the appetizers. Our plate included smoked salmon, clams, a crab-claw dish, and salad among other things. However, the main courses were not nearly as good and we barely tried any of them as they just didn't look as appetizing. Y did try the stir-fry station and she thought it was ___.

After loitering around the appetizers and main courses for two hours we moved on to dessert. However, at this point we were relatively full and we only managed to sample a few of them including some chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, fruit tarts and a bit of ice cream.

Verdict:
The brunch was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Most of the food was fresh and relatively well prepared, and the chefs constantly made sure that no dish ran out at any given time. However, we found the main courses to be a little bland and uninspired (as well as not looking too appetizing!), but the appetizers and dessert made up for this.

We would definitely recommend that you come here for a try when you are in Warsaw.

Rating: 3.5/5
Price: $$$ ($50/person for brunch)
