On this three-hour tour, we will visit six top-rated food spots to taste iconic Polish staples, including Sour Rye Soup, three types of Pierogi, Gołąbki (stuffed cabbage rolls), Silesian Roulade, and mouth-watering Pączki (traditional doughnuts). Your journey also includes artisanal bread with salted butter, Poland’s most famous chocolate snack, two distinct vodkas, and Kompot, a traditional fruit drink.

You’ll also receive an interactive map of must-visit spots to help you navigate the city with confidence after the tour.
Your experience
Stop 1
We’ll kick things off at Plac Pięciu Rogów, the vibrant heart of Warsaw, where you’ll get an introduction to the tour
Stop 2
Our first food stop is a traditional Milk Bar - a must-visit for anyone exploring Warsaw, known for its homemade dishes and nostalgic communist-era vibe. We’ll start with pierogi, a true staple of Polish cuisine, while soaking in the unique atmosphere of this iconic spot
Stop 3
This is our main dining stop. In this traditional Polish restaurant, we’ll sample some of Poland’s staple dishes: pierogi - the country’s most iconic national dish, placki ziemniaczane - one of the tastiest specialties in Polish cuisine, and a selection of grilled sausages.
Stop 4
No good food tour in Poland would be complete without vodka! But we’ll start with a version that’s actually tasty — a smooth quince-infused vodka liqueur. And for those who want the full Polish experience, we’ll also do a shot of pure vodka, chased with a slice of lemon
Stop 5
On this street named after Winnie the Pooh in a 1950s children’s vote - we’ll talk about the postwar reconstruction of Warsaw, a heroic effort that required unprecedented measures, including the creation of the largest and most powerful architecture office in the world
Stop 6
We’ll briefly discuss World War II and its lasting impact on Warsaw - a history that shaped the city into what you see today
Stop 7
We’ll learn the story behind Poland’s most famous chocolate brand, E.Wedel, step inside the iconic interior of its flagship store, and taste its legendary ‘Ptasie Mleczko’ - a beloved treat that has been delighting Poles since the 1930s
Stop 8
On Tłusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday), every self-respecting Pole indulges in at least one pączek - though, in reality, we devour around 100 million of them in a single day, averaging 2.5 per person! One of the most legendary spots to get them is Blikle, a historic bakery dating back to the 1860s, famous for its rich, traditional recipe
