September in the hotel kitchen is a time when flavors gain depth, and the light, refreshing summer compositions slowly give way to dishes that are richer, bolder, and warming. The first seasonal mushrooms appear on the plates – among them golden chanterelles, considered a true treasure of Polish forests and strongly associated with this special time of year.
The new two-week Specialities menu, a Hilton Garden Inn Kraków Airport proposal for food lovers in Kraków seeking culinary experiences, has been created by Patryk Cholewa – à la carte chef of the L’atmosphère restaurant.
Listening to the rhythm of nature, Patryk composed dishes in which seasonal ingredients come together to create a coherent story on the plate – full of colors, aromas, and flavors of late summer and the beginning of autumn.
Here’s what you’ll find in our lunch menu this time:
Soup: Chanterelle cream soup
A velvety cream of forest chanterelles with fresh cream, served with puffed pastry pearls and chive-infused olive oil.
This soup not only warms the body but also carries you away to forest paths. Its silky texture gains character from the chive-infused oil – a subtle touch that adds freshness and a green aroma, enhancing the natural flavor of the mushrooms.
Main Dish: Grilled lamb chops
Juicy, bone-in lamb chops from the grill, served with potato-cauliflower purée and zucchini ribbons à la pappardelle with chanterelles.
The main course clearly shows the influence of French haute cuisine – young lamb presented in the style of frenched lamb chops. It is a nod to the classic, elegant tradition of hotel dining. The tenderness and delicacy of the meat are elevated by a silky, concentrated jus that highlights the depth of flavor.
Dessert: Chocolate cake
A chocolate cake in brownie style with homemade cherry preserve, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
It’s a sweet finale where the intensity of chocolate meets a fruity note and creamy lightness, leaving an elegant, lingering finish on the palate.
L’atmosphère Restaurant & Bar is a unique and popular spot on Kraków’s culinary map, located right next to the terminal of Kraków Airport in Balice, at the Hilton Garden Inn Kraków Airport.
For many travelers visiting Kraków for leisure or business, it is the first – and often the last – encounter with local cuisine. This is reflected in our mission and values, which commit us to being a local ambassador of hospitality, culinary traditions, and uncompromising quality.
