BeKeF Warsaw

Eat and enjoy!

Nitzan from Warsaw

""BeKeF" Warsaw translates into 'good time' in Hebrew- and that is exactly what you are in for! This Israeli restaurant in my opinion offers you the best..."

It's all in the name really: Bekef in Hebrew means a 'fun', 'good time' – and that is exactly what you are in for! The new Israeli-kosher (!) place in the very heart of Warsaw is just so good, a good time is just guaranteed.

Maybe the place is not the most beautiful, maybe not the most stylish, but – hey, who cares when the food is just so good?! And the people are so nice (the owner and head cook pops out of the kitchen often to say hello)! Bekef serves a mix of Mediterranean dishes: Israeli favorites and Moroccan hits. Meat dishes, fish dishes, falafel, shwarma, shakshuka, a variety of salads, vegetables, sauces. Everyday there are lunch specials – every day there are new dishes to choose from. And believe me – I am doing my best to try every single one of them.

Hands down the best Israeli food outside of Israel – everything tastes exactly the way it is supposed to: the hummus, the falafel, the tehina, the pita, the spicy vegetables...! Some of the ingredients are even flown straight from Israel to keep the flavors authentic.

Don't worry about ordering: the staff speak a mix of Polish, Hebrew and English, and I am betting a few other languages too.

Great food, in big quantities (Really! Falafel in pita the size of my head!) and at affordable prices (11 zł!). Go, eat, have a good time – no, strike that – have a great time!

Warsaw Spotter Nitzan

About me I was born in New York, but have lived in Warsaw since I was 5-and-a-half. I am a city person. I always have been. Born in a big city. Raised in a big city. My idea of the best way to fall asleep at night is listening to passing cars and wandering people. I like to walk around for hours and stumble onto amazing people and places by chance. And to read good books. And to spend time with friends. And to eat good food. Food. Yup, I definitely love to eat. And travel - my goal is to travel to all sorts of European cities and just soak them up! I studied Cul...

Piano crosswalk

A bit of out-of-the-ordinary

The Piano crosswalks are a souvenir from 2010, Warsaw's crazy Chopin year. You can find them on Emilii Plater street. They always make me smile...

Okienko

French? No, Belgian!

"Okienko" Warsaw had a simple idea: just fries; only the pure delight and magic of a potato. They have plenty of recipes for their own (even vegan!) sauces

Skład Butelek

Feel of artistic Praga

"Skład Butelek" is, for me, the most obvious place to go out in Warsaw's Praga on a Thursday night - that's when this bar has their jam sessions...

Slou

Slowly, slowly

"Slou" in Warsaw gathers together very different items in one place, like clothing, plants and food magazines. It takes it 'slow', that's why I love it!
