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).

Warsaw Tortilla Factory
This is the closest you'll come to authentic Mexican food in the city. And it does a decent job too of the burritos, enchiladas, nachos and tortillas. The décor of red brick, dark wood and steel isn't very Mexican, and neither is the 'hangover brunch' served till at weekends, but who cares when it's all accompanied by spiced-up Bloody Marys.

Wook
Despite its poor location in the bowels of the Marriott, Wook manages to attract plenty of hungry locals with dainty yet tasty portions of imaginative Asian food. Mix and match with a couple of choices (crispy duck followed by wan tan noodles with cabbage anyone?) and you'll come away satisfied.
