Havana Warsaw

New - old bar

Magda from Warsaw

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...
""Havana" in Warsaw is a throwback to the famous old Cafe Bar Havana that was here in the '60s. The menu is vegetarian and absolutely delicious!"

Cafe Bar Havana was re-opened in July 2019. The name refers to Cafe Havana that was located here in the 60s. If you search on Google, you will find splendid black and white photos of this place from that time. The place is also similar to Zodiak I wrote about some time ago, and also pavilion-like. The thing that is different is that Zodiak still has some elements of the beautiful '60s staircase preserved. In Havana the staircase was unfortunately destroyed by the previous owners who did not enjoy beautiful ceramic interiors.

The menu, managed by the great Polish cook Maria Przybyszewska, famous also for her role in other Warsaw restaurants like Opasły Tom, is vegetarian and partly vegan. For lunch you will be getting some delicacies like eggs or traditional chałka with jam. For dinner you'll have to make the difficult choice between one of their pizzas (check the artichoke one, it's delicious).

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

To Się Wytnie

Staying till the credits roll

"To Się Wytnie" Warsaw is a movie-themed pub. At this bar you can come in and talk to the owner and bartender... Some extraordinary people there for sure.

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!
