ul. Kubusia Puchatka, Warschau, Polen
Description
On this three-hour tour, we visit six top-rated food spots to sample iconic Polish staples, including sour rye soup, three types of pierogi, gołąbki (stuffed cabbage rolls), Silesian roulade, and delicious pączki (traditional doughnuts). Your journey also includes artisan bread with salted butter, Poland's most famous chocolate snack, two different vodkas, and kompot, a traditional fruit drink. With 12 tastings in total, this experience is equivalent to a complete three-course meal. Come hungry and definitely don't plan on dinner afterward!
Between stops, I share stories about the city's past and present, offering a deeper, more authentic understanding of Warsaw and Poland that goes far beyond the culinary scene. You will also receive an interactive map of the main attractions so you can navigate the city with confidence after the tour.

15 m
Our first food stop is a traditional milk bar—a must for anyone exploring Warsaw, known for its homemade dishes and nostalgic Communist-era atmosphere. We begin with pierogi, a true staple of Polish cuisine, while enjoying the unique atmosphere of this iconic place
25 m
This is our main dining stop. At this traditional Polish restaurant, we sample some of Poland’s essential dishes: pierogi—the country’s most famous national dish; placki ziemniaczane—one of the tastiest specialties of Polish cuisine; and a selection of grilled sausages.
45 m
No good food tour in Poland would be complete without vodka! But we begin with a version that is actually delicious—a smooth quince vodka liqueur. And for those who want the full Polish experience, we also take a shot of pure vodka, chased with a slice of lemon
10 m
Ulica Kubusia Puchatka
On this street, which was named after Winnie-the-Pooh in a children's vote in the 1950s, we talk about Warsaw's post-war reconstruction, a heroic effort that required unprecedented measures, including the creation of the largest and most powerful architecture firm in the world

Warsaw Uprising Square
We briefly discuss the Second World War and its lasting impact on Warsaw—a story that shaped the city into what you see today

We discover the story behind Poland’s most famous chocolate brand, E.Wedel, step inside its iconic flagship store, and sample its legendary “Ptasie Mleczko”—a beloved treat that has delighted Poland since the 1930s
20 m
On Tłusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday), every self-respecting Pole treats themselves to at least one Pączek—although in reality, we devour around 100 million of them in a single day, an average of 2.5 per person! One of the most legendary places to get them is Blikle, a historic bakery dating back to the 1860s, renowned for its rich, traditional recipe
