On 31 October, as Warsaw sinks into darkness, we open the doors of one of the city’s most intriguing palaces. ÉTÉ and ARCHISNOB join forces to invite you to a Halloween night of flavours, music, architecture and unexpected encounters.

Pałac na Foksal after dark

Pałac na Foksal, formerly the palace of Konstanty Zamoyski, built in 1875-1877 to a design by Leandro Marconi, has kept nearly 150 years of Warsaw’s aristocratic history, turbulent change and architectural ambition. Once a magnate’s residence, today the home of Polish architects.

Tonight its neo-Renaissance walls come alive again. And who knows which ghosts of architecture will wake after dark?

A four-hands dinner

One menu. Two culinary personalities.

Karol Smykiewicz of ÉTÉ in Warsaw and Tomasz Purol of White Marlin in Sopot cook one shared five-course menu: a starter and a main course from each chef, and a dessert they make together. The forest meets the sea, and familiar ingredients show their less obvious side.

  1. Course I: Starter Karol Smykiewicz

    Forest and earth

    Venison loin tartare, smoked marrow emulsion, pickled saffron milk cap, dust of burnt hay and porcini, black garlic mayonnaise.

  2. Course II: Starter Tomasz Purol

    Tales of the sea

    Yellowfin tuna in sesame with calamansi, ponzu, wakame and miso broth with nori.

  3. Course III: Main course Karol Smykiewicz

    Fire and offering

    Sous-vide breast of oat-fed goose with crisp skin, pearl barley with wild mushrooms and brown butter, purée of fire-roasted swede, demi-glace finished with mead, served in cherrywood smoke.

  4. Course IV: Main course Tomasz Purol

    Earth and sea

    Confit cod with celeriac and blue poppy seed, Jerusalem artichoke, Brussels sprouts and prawn sauce with caviar.

  5. Course V: Shared dessert Karol Smykiewicz × Tomasz Purol

    Dream and memory

    White poppy seed mousse, brown butter and buckwheat honey ice cream, liquid cherry gel with a hint of bison grass, pumpernickel and toasted walnut crumble.

When the last candles on the tables go out, the evening changes pace. Mart Avangart (Marcin Wabnik) takes the decks, and the palace fills with music, conversation and special guests from the worlds of architecture, design and culture.

Halloween is only a pretext.The ghosts of the past have their stories.We will write another.
