The experience

Seven-plus tastings through Warsaw’s Old Town, from a milk bar to a Secret Dish.

A small-group walking food tour that begins near the Marie Curie Museum and moves through the Old Town and Barbican, starting inside a traditional Milk Bar for potato and apple pancakes before continuing to a local delicatessen, a retro-style tavern and an Old Town restaurant for pierogi and soup.

The guide threads Warsaw’s story of wartime destruction and rebuilding through the tastings, ending with a crispy Polish waffle and a Secret Dish revealed only on the day.
