Adler Restauracja i Bar
A tiny oasis in the concrete jungle, housed within a curious circular building. Service is impeccable and a good variety of Polish and Bavarian nouvelle cuisine is on offer. Try the ice-meringue with strawberry mousse.

Bar Krokiecik
Decent Polish food this close to Nowy Świat and the financial district isn't hard to find, but not at these prices. So there's no wonder it's sometimes hard to find a seat at Krokiecik, a modern take on the milk bar serving soups, salads and hot dishes such as fasolka po bretońsku (sausage and bean casserole), strogonow z wołowiny (beef stroganoff) and ragout z kurczaka (chicken ragout).

Bar Mleczny Pod Barbakanem
Just outside the Barbican, this popular milk bar looks as though it hasn't changed for decades. It serves cheap, unpretentious Polish standards in a location that would be the envy of many upmarket eateries.
-
Deco Kredens
This place flaunts an appealingly over-the-top Art Deco dining room, which looks for all the world like a 1930s bordello (minus the ladies). Fat armchairs tempt you to linger over a menu of Polish and international cuisine - the crispy roast duck, served on a wooden platter with potato pancakes, beetroot and baked apple, is superb.

Dom Restauracyjny Gessler
The Dom actually holds two eateries: upstairs there's an elegant, formal restaurant, and downstairs there's the Karczma, a traditional country inn, arranged in amazing labyrinthine vaulted cellars, and serving typical old-style Polish peasant food. Don't miss this one, if only to check out the building.

Fret á Porter
Choose between the pavement terrace, with views of tree-lined New Town Square, and the eccentric dining room with its modern art on rag-rolled brick walls and multicoloured napkins clashing with Regency-striped upholstery. The menu also indulges in bold contrasts, ranging from traditional Polish dishes (green lentil soup with mint, roast duck and grilled pork) to exotic offerings such as kangaroo and emu steaks.

Qllinarnia
Don't expect friendly service or a warm welcome at this simple yet colourful milk bar. But do expect fast service, top-rate home-cooked Polish food (including a smattering of European classics, such as lasagne and quiche), and a packed house. Enter from ul Marszałkowska; it's easy to spot among the liquor stores and sex shops.

Restauracja Pod Samsonem
Situated in the New Town, Pod Samsonem is frequented by locals and tourists looking for inexpensive and tasty Polish food infused with a Jewish flavour - marinated herring, gefilte fish and kawior po żydowsku ('Jewish caviar' - chopped chicken liver with garlic). It's always busy and you may have to wait, especially for the popular outdoor tables.

Restauracja Polska
The Polska is a classic old-fashioned Polish restaurant of the type that Polish families favour for special occasions - folksy farmhouse décor, lacy tablecloths, bouquets of flowers everywhere, and smartly dressed, attentive staff. The menu is devoted to hearty home cooking - this is the place to try authentic pierogi (dumplings) , żurek, schab z dziku (roast wild boar with crispy dumplings)and other dania staropolskie (old Polish dishes).
-
Vega
Vega, tucked away in a courtyard, offers cheap and delicious vegetarian food. Try the naleśniki (crepes wrapped around a variety of fillings). There's also a good number of vegan items on the menu.
