Przysmak – The taste of childhood

My first and sweetest memory of a bar in Warsaw are connected to this place. My father used to come here for “obiad” (Polish for lunch, but in Poland obiad is usually bigger than supper, mind you) so I knew the name. Many years passed, my father became a great cook himself so lunches at “Przysmak” are no longer needed.

However, this is one of my favorite bars for a budget lunch now. The bar is situated in a flat, which means there is not much space and you might sit with people you don’t know. The kitchen is really in the kitchen and you are being served in a room. “Kompot”, the drink usually served for lunch in Poland is in a huge pot on a windowsill.

The thing that is most important to me, however, is that the ladies working in the kitchen and behind the till, can still remember my father and I am always called Andrzej’s daughter. I don’t know many places that can compete with that, at least not in Warsaw.

Last time I also saw a quite well-known Polish text/song writer, Wojciech Młynarski, there (strange to hang out at the same table though), which only proves its quality. Or an “off” status. Or both.
