Our History

The restaurant tradition in my family is almost 100 years old. In the early 20th Century, my grandfather Jan Strozynski owned multiple restaurants and supplied ships on their way out to sea with food. He was a great cook, and practiced his culinary talents in France.

My father, Henryk, when he was young, spent a lot of time in his father’s restaurants and learned to cook from the Chefs.

Since I was a little child, I have helped my father and grandfather cook, and from them I learned all the tricks and family trades. Fueled by my interest in the culinary arts, I travelled throughout Europe, working in restaurants, wineries, bakeries and open-air food markets.

Somehow, I ended up in cute Ann Arbor, and I restored an old 1876 building into Amadeus Restaurant. Thus started my adventure, the one that is still, to this day, evolving.

Thank you to all my guests, friends, and everyone who enjoys.
