Barbican Warsaw Restaurants Warsaw has an excellent range of restaurants, many set in the atmospheric Old Town Square or overlooking beautiful parks and palaces. Ethnic restaurants are rapidly appearing alongside the traditional Polish establishments, so there is plenty of choice.
Polish food is hearty, tasty and served in generous portions.
Soups and stews are thick and filling with peas, beans and dumplings. Delicious pork dishes include roast boar, cutlets in tangy sauces and pork with garlic stuffing. Dessert is where Polish cuisine comes into its own, the rich cream cakes and chocolate-nut torte are well worth trying. Vodka is the national drink and though usually drunk neat, you can experiment with the plum, prune and ground pepper flavoured varieties. Ujadowskie Castle, Al.
