  The first Charlotte opened in Zbawiciela Square 10 years ago and immediately won the hearts of the people of Warsaw. The concept of a French bistro that serves bread, sandwiches, cakes, coffee, and wine, in elegant atmosphere and yet in good prices, turned out a great success. Soon, another bistros started opening in Krakow, Wroclaw, and the second location in Warsaw. Today, the third Charlotte bistro in Warsaw opens its doors near the Charles de Gaulle roundabout. We have checked for you what the new Charlotte Bouillon is about, what’s new is in the menu and on the walls. We are discussing this successful gastronomy concept with co-founder Justyna Kosmala.

For Singapore, the long-awaited easing of restrictions is finally becoming a reality. The borders of the country are gradually opening up, although for now with reservations about the intensity of traffic, where visitors are coming from and their purpose of visit, and in accordance with the necessary security measures. What makes Singapore confident amidst this reality? First of all, it is a spirit of progress and innovation that is rooted in local culture and lifestyle. The city is constantly developing, learning, changing, and thanks to experience and advanced technologies, it shapes its own future. Everyone here feels part of this future.

On June 6, we are going to celebrate the Festival of Flowers for the sixth time! We are really looking forward to the long-postponed meeting with you, our guests and sellers in Warsaw at the Mysia 3 Shopping Centre.

We recently went to the Austrian Alps. We were skiing all day. And then après-ski, in a mountain shelter we ate the famous Kaiserschmarrn – the leftovers from the emperor’s table, a characteristic shredded omelette. It tasted like never before. (more…)

The autumn issue of the USTA Magazine is already out. Let’s take a look what awaits you inside. Here is some sneak peak. The autumn season puts us in a nostalgic mood. Another summer has passed, the leaves are turning red, conkers and acorns are torpedoing the streets, and we are trying to keep poker faces up against the incoming chills and the looming winter in our beautiful country. At this time of the year, it is good to turn to proven methods of lifting oneself up. The classic forms and flavours. The quality, the elegance, the simplicity. The durability and the chance to rely on the tradition seem especially encouraging in the autumn/winter season. This is why we devoted a lot of attention to Vienna. We paid a visit to the Jarosinski & Vaugoin manufacture, which survived two centuries in the same place in the very heart of the city. We visited cafés and retro bars but we also ventured to discover the new, modern face of the Austrian

Szef kuchni, ale niezwykły. Niektórym jawi się jako współczesny amazoński szaman, innym jako kulinarny rockandrollowiec. Bożyszcze i aktywista w jednym. Z Alexem Atalą, twórcą restauracji D.O.M. w São Paulo, rozmawiamy o sile głosu, łapaniu równowagi i potędze Brazylii. (more…)

When we chose the theme of this issue, we thought we would be releasing it into a beautiful healthy Polish spring. At the time when everything around starts getting back to life, but we are still tired of the long winter, lack of sunshine and optimism. The time, when we need new source of energy. Meanwhile, just before we sent this issue to print, we were hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which turned the world, as we knew it upside down. The world stopped and we held our breaths, concerned about what is happening around us. We are full of contradictory feelings. From panic and fear for the health of our families and loved ones to concern for the future of our businesses, economy and education. On the other hand, the virus achieved what seemed impossible: it stood in the way of the galloping consumerism. (more…)
