Best Street Food Restaurants in Warschau

The premises of a former grocery store have been transformed into a true work of art, with pastel swans on the walls, moderately eccentric furniture, and bright color accents. However, the main focus here is on breakfasts, which are probably the most photogenic in Warsaw. Iron trays, vintage ice cream bowls, unusual egg stands, and dishes with portions of homemade butter are all part of the beautiful presentation.

The audacious vegan project Lychees operates exclusively for breakfast half of the day (from 9:00 to 16:00), and from 17:00 onwards, it transforms into a place that serves incredibly elaborate sandwiches. The menu is compact and unconventional, but it can never become tiresome – it features a blend of Polish, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences, seasoned with a good dose of imagination and courage.

Lively, unique, daring, and absolutely unlike any other vegan and vegetarian spot - that's what Peaches is all about, tucked away in the courtyards of Mokotowska Street. The local menu takes you on a whirlwind of flavors from various corners of the world: India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Chinese accents, and twists on Italian classics - all coexisting in vibrant harmony. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most impressive establishments in Warsaw, and not just among vegan ones.

The place that embraces the Danish approach to breakfast, minimalist yet perfectly balanced. Simplicity, quality, and locally sourced ingredients are the key players at Baken.

From all these elements, every morning they create simple and straightforward, yet absolutely stunning dishes.

A bar with natural wines and an ideal spot for breakfasts – it seems that such a combination of concepts was simply destined to appear in Warsaw.

In the evenings, it transforms into a wine bar resembling Wonderland – with an excellent selection of natural wines and a delightfully crazy atmosphere.

Vibrant vegan food and an excellent selection of natural wines? It's as simple as that - just head to the Eden bistro, located in one of the pre-war villas in the Saska Kępa district. It doesn't matter where you sit - in the small orangery with succulents or on one of the two floors - it's equally comfortable everywhere. The menu is inspired by culinary journeys around the world but is most focused on the colorful cuisine of Southeast Asia, complemented by a pleasant selection of oranges, pet-nats, and other natural wines.

This small bistro in Warsaw's Żoliborz is one of the main ambassadors of vegetarian cuisine, conscious consumption, and a meticulous approach to ingredient selection.

It's no wonder that Ósma Kolonia attracts people from all over the city, especially those who truly appreciate the quality of local cuisine and its unique vibe.

A modest, straightforward, and timeless place. The local menu features robust and expertly prepared French classics: a vast selection of Croque Monsieur, including variations with smoked salmon or burrata, a food-porn section with raclettes and fondues, including a recipe with Mont d'Or cheese, confit tomato omelet, and goat cheese cheesecake.

A cult-like small chain of vegan ramen shops - a bit crazy, chaotic and wild, just like many Japanese counterparts. The menu is tiny but commands respect, and the portions are enormous. The design is infused with minimalism and generously adorned with neon lights, and queues at the entrance are common. It sounds amazing and looks just as impressive.

Vegan sushi is not scary or strange; it's very interesting, as proven by Youmiko. The sushi here is prepared according to all Japanese traditions, spiced up with a creative approach and local Polish products, resulting in vibrant and sometimes unusual but always imaginative flavors.

An elegant potpourri of all international hits in a vegan rendition.

To complement the experience, there is an excellent selection of craft beer for every mood.

A vegan patisserie and specialty coffee shop with all the possible amenities: exquisite pastries, croissants, macarons, cakes, and sandwiches, as well as interesting options for vegan coffee drinks and even gluten-free choices. Everything is of excellent quality, located right in the city center, and presented in a bright, lively interior.

A small place hidden between the equally grey Warsaw houses instantly captures your heart – it's almost always lively, with almost all guests being regulars, and the atmosphere of a craft establishment is evident as soon as you step inside. All bagels are baked on-site, and the approach to the quality of fillings commands respect.

A vegetarian restaurant and bar located just around the corner from Warsaw's central street, Nowy Świat. It seems to be designed for sharing. Sharing food - as the menu is filled with large and small plates meant to be placed at the center of the table for a friendly company to enjoy. Sharing imaginative cocktails made from herbs and plants, such as rosemary syrup or coconut water – because it's at least intriguing. Sharing experiences, as there will be plenty of them, we promise.

A neat vegan/veggy bistro, perfectly fitting in the vicinity of Plac Zbawiciela. The interior here is minimalistic,with clear references to Warsaw from the Polish People's Republic era, but the menu effortlessly adds color to any lunch or dinner. From the imaginative fusion of General Tso's Tofu to poke with edamame, wakame, and pickled red onion, soy schnitzel masquerading as pork, or sweet potato fries drenched in chipotle mayo and kaffir mayo - everything here is designed to make plant-based cuisine not boring or diet-like, but suitable even for a hangover morning.

A small chain of cafés and bakeries that has long and successfully focused on breakfasts. The places are always crowded, with a non-intrusive atmosphere that embodies the essence of a well-done urban café with all the comforts.

Cool and flavorful vegan Asian cuisine - what could be better? Vietnam takes the spotlight here, but the menu also features dishes from Thailand, Japan, and Malaysia.
