Cool For Cats? In its unrelenting search for Warsaw’s top brekkie, the Insider touches down in Powiśle’s Cool Cat… The Place In terms of the interior, what you’re looking at is a venue cast from concrete and tangles of pipework. There are blasts of contemporary artwork, but your attention... Read more

Perhaps no-one person has shaped Warsaw’s Asian path more than restaurateur Yeunsu Lee. Now, for her latest concept, she explores the pleasures of the Korean grill, a group slanted affair in which diners heap marinated bulgogi, rib-eye steak and Mangalica pork underneath overhead heaters. Complimented by bitsy starters, everything... Read more

Previously known as Warung Jakarta, the menu here has a street food edge with secret magic recipes extending to Nasi Goreng and a lively chicken Rendeng. Accessible to all levels of income, it’s become one of the true unsung glories of ethnic Warsaw. Gado Gado ul. Piękna 28/34 Read more
Bangkok Soi
Restaurants 3 April 2019 0
Without being privy to statistics, you’d hazard a guess this was the most blogged about restaurant of March 2019. Small and informal, the narrow choice makes it easy to sample everything within a couple of visits – and it’s likely you’ll return to do just that. Replicating the street... Read more

An odd meeting of ideas, it combines the work of three people (Kamila, Patrycja and Trisno) who between them have created a space that houses both a donut store and restaurant. It sounds a little dissonant, but... Read more

From the same team behind the long-established Maho... Read more
Though best known as Warsaw’s principal source of craft beer, Nowogrodzka is starting to show it’s more than just a one-trick pony. Helping the food angle along is this newbie, a tiny Korean joint with an even smaller menu. So far so good, with the bulgogi arguably being the... Read more
The Place Interior-wise, you’re looking at a hip, edgy venue that offsets all the concrete colors with punches of contemporary art and waterfalls of greenery that tumble over the windows. The overt hipness is reflected by a crowd that’s heavy on tattoos, piercings and odd urban style: you know... Read more
