12 stolików
If the idea of a restaurant not having a menu sounds pretentious, well, we thought the same thing. Fortunately the concept turns out to be charming at 12 Stolików, a small restaurant that writes the ever-changing offerings on a chalkboard facing diners.

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.

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.
