Szynk Praski Warsaw

Traditional Varsovian cuisine

Ola from Warsaw

About me I'm a Warsaw journalist, writing everyday news, reviews of new places, and meeting lots of inspiring people who create Warsaw. I also travel a lot and the further I go the more I appreciate Warsaw! Our exeptional wild beach in the centre of the city, cold vodka drunk at the bar at 04:00, riding a bike over an empty Świętokrzyski bridge at night - these are the things th...
""Szynk Praski" Warsaw is the best restaurant to try purely local -Varsovian- cuisine! I really recommend you order their pyzy..."

Did you know Warsaw has got its own cuisine? We have some dishes which we can consider "Varsovian". In my opinion the best place to try them is Szynk Praski. The whole interior just adds to the flavors of the food - there is old furniture, photos, plates and music. The place where the restaurant is located is pretty climatic too. Stalowa street in Praga is one of the oldest streets in Warsaw, it hasn't been changed so much since before the Second World War. Additionally on the building's facade you can still see more than 100-year old advertisements. But the best thing in Szynk Praski is definitely The Food.

Mariusz and his mother - the creators of the place - spent one year to prepare all the things in the restaurant. Mariusz was learning the old Varsovian dialect and the menu now written in Varsovian is better than the book! They also spent this year to find old recipes and adapt them to current conditions. Moreover they make every dish from the very beginning - they prepare their own bread and sausages, they buy flour in a mill and eggs in a village.

I really recommend you order "pyzy" for 13 PLN - flour-potato balls served in a jar. It's very typical for Praga and its oldest and most famous market, definitely worth a try!

About me I'm a Warsaw journalist, writing everyday news, reviews of new places, and meeting lots of inspiring people who create Warsaw. I also travel a lot and the further I go the more I appreciate Warsaw! Our exeptional wild beach in the centre of the city, cold vodka drunk at the bar at 04:00, riding a bike over an empty Świętokrzyski bridge at night - these are the things that I miss the most when I'm on the other side of the world. I live in Praga, a district on the right side of the Vistula river. Here, we don't say we live in Warsaw. Warsaw is on the othe...
