One of the biggest snack bars in town, with low, uncomfortable stools that are meant to encourage a fast turnover. Not that there's any reason to linger after you've eaten. Cheap but sound meals. [...]

A thatched timber lodge with views overlooking the surrounding parkland. Your daily calorie count comes served up in one fell swoop here, with team-sized portions of Polish grill food served up on ceramic plates. This is feasting as done the local way, with absolutely no mercy shown to dieters.  [...]

An infinite choice of pancake combos offered up inside an interior that will have train spotters fumbling under their anoraks. Designed to replicate the inside of a steam train Lokomotywa has battered suitcases on overhead racks, compartment style seating and walls painted to depict the views you’d get from a train.

To the uninitiated a dzik is local lingo for boar. And not only has the owner included the noble dzik in the name, he’s included these little guys in the design. Where do boars go when they die, to this place of course, where the proprietor has them skinned, stuffed and nailed to every surface available. Stranger still, the absence of anything resembling boar on the menu – work that one out. This place has dedicated itself to pierogi, and the ones here are quite simply the best in the biz. If you don’t mind dead animals staring reproachfully at you, then knock yourself out on delicious pierogi stuffed with a variety of sweet and savoury fillings.

A standout.

A knightly theme prevails here, with Gregorian chants from the speakers and heraldic coats of arms painted onto the crimson walls. The staff may have improved but the food certainly hasn’t, not on last showing anyhow; our fork bending, Yuri Geller-style, while attempting the simple maneuver o [...]

If you’re familiar with Warsaw, you’re probably familiar with the Dom Polski restaurant. These guys are from the same stable and their location halfway between anywhere keeps counting against them. Those who have made it out here however have survived, and are seemingly full of praise f [...]
