— This is not fast food; it’s a sensual experience, a culinary mystery. A dish focused on pure flavor — unpretentious in form, unapologetically honest. I could eat it every day — and when feedback like this reaches the kitchen, it’s the highest form of recognition for any chef.
Each time this dish appears on our weekly specials menu, it stirs genuine excitement among guests at L’atmosphère, the restaurant of Hilton Garden Inn Kraków Airport.
No surprise there — Wagyu beef is a rare and highly prized delicacy, often referred to as Japan’s culinary gold. Known for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and rich, buttery taste, Wagyu is considered one of the world’s most luxurious and sought-after types of beef — a must-try at least once in a lifetime.
The latest edition of our weekly specials menu showcases the talent and culinary sensitivity of Krzysztof Pojałowski, sous-chef and à la carte cook at Hilton Garden Inn Kraków Airport. Sharing his passion for East Asian cuisine, he invites guests on a sensory journey to Japan with a set of three carefully curated dishes.
Japanese dumplings filled with delicate duck meat, prepared using the traditional yaki-gyoza method — pan-fried to achieve a crispy texture, then gently steamed with a touch of water, butter, and soy sauce. Served on a bed of crunchy stir-fried vegetables with sesame seeds and a sweet-and-sour mango teriyaki sauce to enhance the flavor.
A grilled patty of minced Wagyu beef (200g) nestled between a buttery bun topped with nigella seeds, layered with fresh Lollo Bionda lettuce, green cucumber, tomato, arugula, and peperonata-style sauce — a main course bursting with umami.
A subtle dessert with a velvety texture and refined coconut note — the perfect finale to an Asian-inspired meal. Light and refreshing thanks to the combination of mango jelly and lychee-lime sauce.
The L’atmosphère Specialities Menu, updated every two weeks, is an invitation for food lovers to embark on an exciting culinary journey — with our talented chefs as your guides to the flavors of the world.
