Food & Drink: Restaurants in Warsaw

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.

Cheap
The many Bar Mleczny canteens (Milk Bars) are a legacy to the communist past, and while they’re cheap you may wish to skip them unless you really are bone broke and starving.

Couples
Little Thai Gallery is small enough to be intimate and dishes can easily be shared, while Halka has elegant date night interiors and a menu to match.

Kids
Check out the Sunday Brunches held in hotels across Warsaw; most come armed with a nanny and games. Hard Rock Cafe is always going to be a favourite and they do know how to make your special ones feel special.

Lads
The Warsaw Tortilla Factory is the place to prove your worth to the team by guzzling lager from private taps while noshing on the city’s best burritos. Or if you like meatier fare we’re fans of the burgers at Sheraton’s Someplace Else and the steaks at 99 Restaurant and Bar.

Polski
Eat Commie style in Oberza Pod Czerwonym Wiepr- zem, or for a more upscale take on Polish cuisine try Dom Polski.
