Madras
Restaurants 16 June 2015 0
Even before you enter, you smell Madras: a pungent aroma that wafts gloriously over gloomy Solidarnośći. Looking humble, unassuming, and even a little seedy, this microscopic venue is as far removed from refined as it gets. For all that, those who love Indian food refuse to go anywhere else... Read more
Thaisty
Restaurants 16 June 2015 0
The coup here has been the recruitment of Chanunkan Duangkumma, Warsaw’s favorite Thai chef. Previews suggest a contemporary space in line with city trends, and a menu built around recipes passed down Duangkumma’s family line. Opened in mid-May, reports that have filtered back suggest this could well emerge as... Read more
Dom Polski Belwederska
Restaurants 16 June 2015 0
The perfect complement to their older sister on Francuska, the new offshoot of Dom Polski features a beautiful look that draws heavily on classic, almost noble inspirations. As for the garden, that in itself is a fairytale that requires exploration. The menu is as you’d expect, a modernized take... Read more
Dom Polski
Restaurants 16 June 2015 0
Almost like it was designed for the manor born, Dom Polski has the rarefied atmosphere of a country retreat: bow-tied staff who click their heels, decorative antiques and a menu that’s a sumptuous anthology of posh Polish cooking. When you need to give visitors a sense of classic Warsaw,... Read more
L’enfant Terrible

Chef Michal Brys might look like he’s just swaggered in from a rock concert, but his flair for experimentation is second to none: expect a menu that marries local produce with the latest tricks and techniques. The tasting menu (six courses for zł. 219) is a brilliant insight into... Read more
La Rotisserie
Restaurants 16 June 2015 0
A gloriously seductive dining room, Poland’s champion sommelier, and a chef that many recognize as being Michelin potential: put those three together and you have one of the finest experiences to be enjoyed in a Warsaw dining room. The cooking is ‘classic with a twist’, and in October that... Read more
Champions

While the concept and style look dated, there’s no faulting the attention to detail – wherever you look (aside from under the table), there’s a TV. The heavy décor brings to mind the trans-Atlantic sports bars of the 90s, with glinting trophies, whirring machines, clacking pool tables and a... Read more
Cafe Baobab
Restaurants 12 June 2015 0
The work of former basketball player Aziz Seck, Baobab brings the tastes of Senegal to Saska Kępa. The mafe yap – beef stewed in peanut sauce – is as interesting as it sounds, and best enjoyed during their bi-monthly Saturday night concerts. Café Baobab ul. Francuska 31, tel. 22... Read more
Rusiko
Restaurants 12 June 2015 0
One pet hate of mine when it comes to Warsaw restaurants are the actual owners of these places. Not all owners, but the ones who sit at the bar staring at their laptop. No matter how busy it gets, there they are, refusing to budge and engrossed in bar... Read more
Chmiel Café

Rows and rows of Belgian beers occupy the shelves, while behind the counter find pedigree treats, cakes and ice cream from the Slow Food approved Consonni brand. Forget the industrial rubbish, the ice cream produced by this lot is an absolute standout. With the outdoor terrace making its debut,... Read more
