The Irish Mbassy Restaurant and Pub

Hello and welcome to The Irish Mbassy Sports Bar and Restaurant!

My name is Alan Boesch and I am the head chef. I hail from sunny Durban in South Africa, which is a beautiful city set into Natal Bay & famous as one of the country’s great tourist destinations, with its sub-tropical climate and beautiful beaches.

It was here at the tender age of ten I began my love affair with cooking while working summers for my father, who was one of the city’s top chefs. I would spend every spare minute I could either by his side at the stove or in his bakery soaking up the aromas and tricks of the trade.

After beginning my formal training at the Royal Hotel Durban,I left for Switzerland in search of new challenges. I spent 5 years there honingmy skills in different restaurants and hotels.I first came to Krakow 2 years ago visiting an old friend and quickly fell in love with the city and decided to stay. So when the opportunityto continue my career as a head chef was given to me,I seized it immediately.

Here in the Irish Mbassy I have tried to implement my philosophy on food into a pub atmosphere. That means fresh locally sourced produce cooked simply and well. Of course, not everything is from Poland - our sausage and bacon is specially imported from Ireland to give our Irish breakfast the taste of the Emerald Isle, our cod which is delivered fresh three times a week from the freezing waters of the North Sea & our lamb is from the verdant grasslands of New Zealand but everything else we use is local Polish produce delivered by local suppliers.

So I hope there is somethingin the following pagesthat takes your fancy and as head chef I can give you my personal assurance that myself and my team will prepare it to the highest standard possible.

Enjoy your meal.
