Guides were incredibly informative. We got a ton of fascinating food history. Best food tour we have had in any city. To say we were full at the end is an understatement but we feel totally prepared to appreciate and try lots more food the remainder of our visit. The recommendations made for other foods and restaurants to try was also welcome. The guides were patient, engaging, funny, and seriously passionate and knowledgeable. Went with my two 70 year old parents and teen son. We all loved it. Highly recommend!

Full description

When most people think about Polish cuisine, there is one thing that springs to mind - “pierogi.” But these tasty cheese and potato dumplings are served in all the English-speaking restaurants.

For a more unusual taste of Poland, take this 4-hour food tour of Warsaw and learn what Polish cuisine is really all about. Savor Polish dishes in 4-6 carefully selected establishments, and hear the stories behind them.

Discover why the Poles complain about the quality of the bread, and why they sometimes long for food produced in the 1970s. Learn why you can’t trust an invitation for “a cup of coffee,” and much more.

Be prepared for the equivalent of a full meal, with dessert of course! But as you’ll do some walking, you’ll be able to work off some of the calories as you go - just remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes.

Includes

  • Approximately 10 tastings plates (including starters, appetizers, soups, main courses and dessert)
  • Bilingual guide
  • Water in most venues
  • 3 Polish drinks pairing (choose option with pairing)
  • Written summary of the tour and tips on recommended places
  • Additional drinks
  • Tips and gratuities
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off

Meeting point

Meet at 1:00 PM at the Charles de Gaulle roundabout (it's the one with a big palm tree in the middle). Your guide will be waiting next to the monument of a woman holding a wounded soldier on her lap, located in the corner of Nowy Świat, Smolna and Al. Jerozolimskie. The monument is located in the green square just off the roundabout.

Important information

Know before you go

  •  The golden rule of Polish hosts is to serve the amount of food that will make a table collapse. If you enjoy Polish food, you may be sure that a tour makes for a full meal with a dessert. It will be a good idea to eat just breakfast. Please, skip lunch or you won’t be able to try everything
  •  Polish cuisine is based on pork, so if you are vegetarian many dishes served during the tour won't be suitable for you
  •  Please advise of any food allergies you have so the menu can be adjusted
  •  A non-alcoholic option is available, so minors are welcome
  • If the guide responsible for the tour considers a participant to be unreliable or otherwise unfit for the tour (either drunk, aggressive or behaving in a way which makes continuation of the tour difficult), then the guide may refuse the participant or ask the participant to leave. Such a refusal is not grounds for a refund
