Food & Drink: Restaurants in Warsaw
Warsaw’s come a long way and fast, and nowhere is the urban vibrancy more apparent than in the city’s progressive culinary scene. The immediate post-communist obsession with Italian has since given way to fusion, sushi and - most recently - steak, and dining out is now a truly international experience.
Disappointments do still exist, however, with gruff, ditzy or plainly incompetent service being a common lament. You’d think the opening hours we list are self-explanatory. Not so. Venues will more often than not close their doors if business is slow. Other ‘restobars’ often employ different sets of hours for bar and kitchen – the times we list in such cases are for the kitchen, and the prices we list in brackets denote the cost of the cheapest and most expensive main course on the menu. Note that during Euro 2012 nearly everyone is extending hours beyond what we've listed. In regards to tipping, either round the bill up or leave 10% - but only if you think the service warrants it. Here is a selection of recommendations depending what you are looking for.
Business Restauracja Rozana is an experienced local offering that will impress the client and give you room to talk shop, while
Butchery and Wine recently won accolades as the city’s top restaurant.
