The Best Polish Restaurant in Warsaw

Best Polish Restaurant in Warsaw’s Old Town
Restauracja Delicja Polska
Thanks to the high ceiling, the elegant pink interior and the top location near the Old Town this place one of the best choice for travelers. The prices are higher than average, but the food is worthy. If you decide to go, you should try the roasted duck with apple and cranberry jam. A classic.
Address: Krakowskie Przedmieście 64
Make (and eat) your own Pierogi (Polish dumplings)
No trip to Poland is complete unless you try the famous Polish dumplings. Or, even better, learn how to make them yourself.
The name of this dish probably derives from the Polish verb "to drink", making pierogi the ultimate choice for party food. The class ends with pierogi lunch or dinner, so we strongly advise you to come hungry.
Check out the availability for the "Make Pierogi from Scratch Class"
