When it comes to discussing the best vegan or vegetarian spots in Warsaw, Peaches is a name that inevitably comes up, accompanied by mutual excitement and a lively debate about which dish reigns supreme. A long-time favorite of ours at the Insider, we were initially saddened to see them leave their central location. But our spirits lifted when we learned that they’re now crafting their own cocktails, no longer dependent on their former shared space at Klub Spatif to do all the shaking and stirring.

Despite sharing a backyard with the nearby Blisko bar, the energy at Peaches is one of pure culinary excitement on the food and beverage frontier across the Wisła River. This area is fast becoming a foodie enclave, with neighbors like Trójka Kielichów and Rano Bakery adding to the allure.

The interiors of Peaches’ new home in a pre-war kamienica are a minimalist’s dream, with soft hues of white and beige accentuated by smartly chosen lighting fixtures and striking wall art. As you step inside, an open kitchen greets you, giving the impression that you’re witnessing an art installation in this boho-hip corner of the city. It’s clear that owners Monika Mazurek and Klaudia Górak have the Midas touch when it comes to food. Few restaurants understand ingredients the way they do, treating them with the reverence they deserve. A dish centered around seasonal tomatoes exemplifies this sensitivity—each bite a testament to their culinary philosophy.

While it’s a crime that their carnitas tacos made from oyster mushrooms are no longer on the menu, all is forgiven when you taste their grilled oyster mushrooms in Moscovado glaze, served with cashew cream and matcha salsa. This umami-packed dish will have you licking the plate clean. Another standout is the grilled corn from Maylert Farms, served with a basil-lime coconut milk that’s as delightful to eat as it is to look at—no kernels stuck between your teeth here.

As mentioned, Peaches has ventured into the world of mixology since relocating, and their efforts have proven as successful as their dishes. As someone with a passion for mocktails, I can confidently say that their virgin margarita is a blissful concoction that pairs perfectly with the flavors on their culinary palette.

So, do yourself a favor: head over to Peaches, indulge in their offerings, and don’t forget to tag us with your favorite dishes. It’s a joy to share dining experiences like this, and knowing that you, dear reader, will have an amazing time is the ultimate reward.
