Karmnik Warsaw

Modern restaurant in Old Town

Piotrek from Warsaw

About me I'm Piotrek. I live in Warsaw but I spend a lot of time abroad on business trips or city breaks in other European cities, and whenever I can on longer trips.

""Karmnik" Warsaw is my favourite Polish restaurant/bar in the Old Town. I like that it's more popular with locals than with tourists."

Karmnik, literally bird feeder - hence a bird in the logo - is my favourite restaurant/bar in the Old Town. As it's not located in the Castle square or the Old Town Market it appears to be more popular with locals than with tourists.

As a restaurant it offers Polish cuisine with a modern touch, including fish, meats and poultry as well as the ever popular pierogi. Besides that there's a good selection of starters and desserts and - like in every proper Polish restaurant - soups.

I especially like coming here in the evening to have something to drink. The available choice of liqueurs is quite impressive and the cocktails are undoubtedly some of best ones in town. I was never disappointed with what I found on the menu but if you have a more specific taste, you can also ask the skilled bartenders to prepare a custom one to your liking.

If available, try one of window tables. You have to climb the window ledge to reach the stool glued to it but as a reward you get the best views both of the bar and the narrow street outside.

Warsaw Spotter Piotrek

About me I'm Piotrek. I live in Warsaw but I spend a lot of time abroad on business trips or city breaks in other European cities, and whenever I can on longer trips. As you can guess my hobby is travelling :-). While travelling I like trying local cuisine, getting to know the place's culture and of course meeting locals. Why Warsaw? I love Warsaw because it has the feel of a young and dynamic city where old meets the modern. Where new places worth a visit are popping up all the time so you never get bored, even if you think you already know the city well....

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!
