The 10 best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Warsaw
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.
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. Almost all the products here come from small local farms, the herbs are fresh and local, and all the sauces are made on-site. 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 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. Everything here is plant-based - tacos, pseudo-nuggets, tofu teriyaki, vegan bao, burgers, «beef» with broccoli, fake schnitzel, and much, much more. 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 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.
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. The main highlights are the vegan pho, amazing laksa, and pad thai, but it's best to come here with a large group, order many small plates, and embark on a full-fledged gastronomic adventure through Southeast Asia.
