Bierhalle

Bierhalle
With a name like Bierhalle you’d be right to think the beer comes first here. Brewed in huge glass vats the in-house beer is the best for miles, but don’t let drunkenness get in the way of eating. Read_on (1 Comment)

Endorfina Foksal

Endorfina Foksal
Located in a giant mansion at the end of Foksal Street, Endorfina Foksal is what we imagine dining in a museum is like. The high ceilings and long hallways make for an impressive space, but in summer the seating is mainly in the expansive backyard. Read_on (No Comments)

Grand Kredens

Grand Kredens
Few places in Warsaw match this for a fine, dare we say splendid dining experience. The decor is tremendously, enjoyably eclectic, and the menu - with a terrific variety of fish (amongst much else) to savour - well up to the challenge of its rivals. Read_on (3 Comments)

Gwiazdeczka Jazz Zone
