Some ideas are just too good and not giving them a try will hunt you until the rest of your life. This is one of them.
To some of you it might come as a surprise and to some we have already mentioned that…
We, Ania Gorski and Ania Ignerowicz are opening a Polish Bar and Restaurant in Leipzig!
After selling at Leipzig’s Christmas Market in WERK2 for the last two years, we realised that it makes us immense fun to cook and sell Polish food and drinks (read more about it this article: http://
What is even more important – it was not just fun for us, but for the people who came again and again for another portions asking “Where can I get this is Leipzig, where is your resto?!” Well… we are hoping that this year we can finally answer that Poniatowski Bar is in Graphischen Viertel in Leipzig! Why the name “Poniatowski”? Cause this guy loved to party, loved to drink and loved to fight. This year is 200 years anniversary of the Battle of the Nations when he unfortunately died by drowning in the Elster River (there is even Poniatowski’s obelisk in Leipzig memorising this sad event).
Our concept is simple: serving traditional Polish food but with the twist, i.e. deep-fried and therefore crispy pierogi, bigos (also in vegetarian version, ha!), żurek, color-blooded barszcz and other tasty classics of Polish cuisine! Alternative to omnipresent kebabs and pizzas are definitely unknown here zapiekanki, yum! When it comes to spirits… well, if somebody was in Germany once in the need of some good vodka, you know the taste of disappointment not only in the quality but also the choice of sorts. Classic spirits like Grassovka, Honey-Vodka (Krupnik), pure Wyborowa, or finally the liquid-nutella, as we like to call it, Hazelnut Vodka were sold at the market in no time as even the whole bottles that customers indented to give as a present. That is another aspect of our Resto, we would like to sell there also traditional Polish products both grocery and handcrafts. Basically, all you can see in the restaurant is for sale (well… perhaps except for us…? : ) as the dishes, cups, and decorations are made by the polish and local craftsmen - the hole design of the space is kept in the colourful New Folk style.
There is however more than just food to our concept. Thanks to our location we can use the ground level for the bar and dining room and wonderful basement (lounge and chill out) where we build a stage for artists, so welcome jam-sessions, concerts and parties on over 200 square meters! We want it to become a cultural space for stand-up comedies, upcoming writers presenting their work, and so on.
The marketing and advertising strategy bases on auto irony and black humour concerning Poland. It is high time to get out of the martyrdom and use persisting stereotypes in our favour – simply by addressing them out in the open in a sarcastic and ironic form. You will hear more about it once our campaign starts ;)
We apply for the credit but need for it 5.000 EUR own capital. That’s when you come into the play :) We would like to ask you to invest in our gastronomic and cultural venture and purchase a Voucher for 50 EUR (of course it can be even more) that you can spend in our Poniatowski Resto for food, drinks and shopping. For those of you who are far away abroad and have scarce chances to come to Leipzig we can offer a return of your invested 50 EUR in a year from your payment with 10% marge
Basically we both hope that there are at least 100 of our friends who believe in our dream as much as we do and support it! The action is until 8.05. 2013, and we hope for it to be another victory day ☺
We will also keep you posted on our account’s development.
Thank you in advance and in case you would like to know more details or help us in any other way, write an e-mail, call, come by.
“Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there”
THANK YOU!
