Bar Bambino Warsaw

The most elegant milk bar in Warsaw

Magda from Warsaw

""Bar Bambino" is one of the most elegant milk bars in Warsaw. Bambino is among the favourites of many of my friends! I like their żurek with egg..."

This is one of the most elegant milk bars in Warsaw and although the competition between the "old" (like Bar Prasowy) and the "new" (like Mleczarnia) is very strong, Bambino is among the favourites of many of my friends. It's true that the prices are a little bit higher than at any other milk bar but the proximity to the city centre and gorgeous food make it a wonderful spot for lunch with your friends.

The food is just like in any milk bar - traditional Polish, but you can also find some Greek fish and the salads here are not full of cream (this is what often happens in some other milk bars). I like their żurek with egg (traditional Polish sour soup, which you probably already know) and most of the salads I already mentioned. If you are in for a sweet, try "pierogi leniwe" (or "leniwe") made of cottage cheese and sprinkled with sugar - it's a Polish must!

The size of the bar makes it possible not to have to eat your lunch with other people (as it happens in some other places), but of course you're welcome to do so if you feel like it.

Many foreigners L-O-V-E the idea of meals supported by the city (hence the low prices), so check it out. If you're interested in milk bars, read on (NYT).

Warsaw Spotter Magda

About me I graduated from the University of Warsaw with a degree in Applied Linguistics (MA) and Text Edition (post-diploma) as well as Cultural Diplomacy (post-diploma). Currently I work for the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation on various projects strengthening Polish-German cooperation. I also do translate and edit texts, mostly from German into Polish. I used to live in Scotland (Aberdeenshire, Perthshire, Isle of Skye), studied and worked there, I've lived in Berlin, where I also used to work. I am still emotionally related to those places. I am a split sou...
