Hi all

Just joined the Forum as I'm moving to Warsaw soon.

So, when I arrive in Warsaw where do people recommend I eat for my first Polish meal?

Thanks

I would follow the nearest Babcia home for some Polish home cooking :)

Seriously, I would try Podwale 25 in the old town, or the Zapiecek near the corner or Al. Jerozolimskie and Nowy Świat. Given those two choices I would choose the Zapiecek. Address: Al. Jerozolimskie 28.

I'll second this, it's far better than the other branches, and the waitresses are better-looking too, lol.

Merged: A Week in Warsaw, advice on eating out

Hi folks,
I am looking at traveling to Warsaw the week before Christmas to take in the holiday sites.
I have already determined airfare & lodging cost but, was hoping I could get an idea of dining & drinks cost.
I would most likely eat out for all meals & then go to the pub for several drinks in the evening. I typically drink bourbon & Coke but understand this may be a tall order in another country.

Also, suggestions of gifts to bring back home would be welcome.

thanks in advance

Not a problem in Poland (except the range will be probably rather limited - whiskies are seen as premium drinks here and priced/stocked accordingly) - it's quite a normal drink in many places.

Thanks for the information. It's good to know I can get a comforting whiskey ;)
Any suggestion for how much "walking around money" I should plan on?
Here in the States one could easily spend $1000 USD as the area is fairly expensive.

You'll probably spend half that, even eating out well.
