On a tree-lined street, nestled in the shadow of Centrum Praskie Koneser, a new contender has emerged on Warsaw’s vibrant dining scene, creating quite a stir among both the young and the seasoned food lovers. Enter Dwójka Kielichów—the mischievous younger sibling of Trojka Kielichów.

The interior of Dwójka Kielichów greets you with stark white walls punctuated by cool, thoughtful touches of nostalgia. It’s as if you’ve stepped into a retro parlor, where vacation videos of the Polish coast are projected on the wall, accompanied by traditional Polish music. But don’t be fooled by the serene backdrop—this place has a playful edge. Design accents, verging on art installations, await your discovery. Spotting the random ninja stars embedded in the walls is a game in itself, and the melted candle stubs scattered about spark curiosity about the revelry that might have unfolded the night before.

The fun extends beyond the dining room. A trip to the bathroom feels like a detour onto the set of a Margot Robbie film—think Barbie meets backstage glam. Pink slippers, beauty products galore—it’s all part of the quirky charm that makes you wonder if you’ve wandered into someone’s private dressing room.

When the place is packed, which it often is, the lively atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve scored a table at one of the coolest spots in Warsaw. The etched glass tabletops set on crisp white linens, with food served on vintage plates that evoke memories of babcia’s (grandma’s) house, add a layer of cozy nostalgia. It’s like dining in a chic, mid-century beach hotel rather than a cluttered family room.

The food, though, is where Dwójka Kielichów truly shines. Imagine a sophisticated milk bar where a Coco Negroni takes the place of the usual Kompot. The pierogi, stuffed with seasonal fava beans and topped with poppy seeds and sour cream, will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about this beloved dish. Pair it with kombucha or a glass of natural wine, and you’ll quickly understand the buzz surrounding this new addition to Warsaw’s restaurant scene.

And if your heart belongs to schabowy—the beloved Polish schnitzel—prepare to be impressed. Their golden, delicious offering nearly overflows the plate, served with a generous heap of fries. Don’t miss the side of małosolne pickles, drizzled with chili honey and roasted hazelnuts—an unexpected but delightful twist.

Finish your meal with rurka z kremem, reminiscent of a cannoli, its ends dipped in chopped pistachios. It’s the perfect nostalgic conversation starter, fitting seamlessly into the banter that flows as freely as the drinks in this truly unique spot.

Dwójka Kielichów is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience that wraps you in a warm embrace of the past while winking cheekily at the present.
