Talk of Praga’s revival feels a bit more serious now that Bistro Pod Sowami has opened. From the outside, this corner tenement is a study in neo-gothic indulgence.

But boy, they can cook – simple but delicious, the food here is Polish... Read more
From the makers of Bazar Kocha comes a new concept that casts the spotlight on Warsaw’s trend du jour: small plates.
