So, first, visit the best bazaar and taste the daily selection of pickled, dried, smoked and fresh Polish specialities.

What To Expect

You will be picked up at around 10.00 am from your hotel by our driver/guide in a Communist-era minivan. Travel in this unique vehicle and experience more of the city's highlights. Your first stop will be at a little pastry shop located in an old tenement house, where you will be served a traditional Polish doughnut, called pączek and pronounced pounchek. Then, your guide will take you to the local farmers market to taste some of Polish delicacies including Polish sausage, pickled cucumbers with cabbage, fish, traditional soft drink and more. Experience life like a local as you visit each of these local favorites. Stop at a neighborhood eatery to try some hearty Polish soups including traditional żurek [zhurek]. This soup is made from a time-honored Polish recipe. A must-have are Polish dumplings and on this tour you get to try couple of kinds of them. Enjoy these delicious dumplings where they do it best, the Praga district just across the Vistula River. You will visit two of the best brasseries known for their pierogies. Then, it is time to discover the story of Polish vodka and raise your glass to sample a shot. Return to your Warsaw accommodations at the end of this tour.

Martin is an excellent guide. His historical knowledge of how and where and why certain foods were developed, and by which ethnic groups, is outstanding. Skip breakfast, you will be full of good food and knowledge by the end of Martin’s tour.
