"Wrapped Up in Warsaw: A Vegan Food Lover's Paradise"
As a self-proclaimed foodie, I embarked on an unapologetically indulgent journey to Warsaw, Poland's vegan-friendly capital. My sister and I descended upon the city's top vegan restaurants, armed with a voracious appetite and a sense of adventure.
Our culinary escapade began at Vege Miasto, where we devoured plate after plate of pierogi, potato pancakes, and soy schnitzel. The comfort food was a godsend on a bitter Warsaw winter's day. Next up, we meandered through the city's charming streets, fuelled by bowls of noodle soup at Vegan Ramen Shop.
We sampled everything from "carbonara" made with vegan bacon to crispy tofu burgers – our taste buds were treated to an unforgettable experience. And let's not forget about the shakshuka, a dish typically reserved for the sun-kissed Mediterranean coast, but lovingly recreated by Bistro Jaskółka in all its spicy glory.
But Warsaw's culinary delights didn't stop there. We discovered a plethora of vegan-friendly restaurants and cafes scattered throughout the city – each one more tantalizing than the last. A visit to Puro Stare Miasto, our Scandi-style hotel group with branches across Poland, only added to the excitement, offering an impressive à la carte breakfast menu that proudly featured porridge with forest fruit compote.
During a stop at Lokal Vegan Bistro, we indulged in Silesian potato dumplings with soy meat, gravy, and crispy onions – it was love at first bite. And, as if on cue, the Museum of Modern Art beckoned us to its latest exhibition: The Woman Question. We spent hours admiring the artwork of 150 female artists from Artemisia Gentileschi to Cindy Sherman.
Our final pit stop? A cooking class at Pierogi & More, where we learned the art of making our own pierogi from scratch. From classic half-moons to more complex shapes like ring-shaped tortellini, we wrestled with dough and fillings – but ultimately emerged victorious.
By the end of our vegan adventure in Warsaw, my sister and I were positively stuffed (pun intended). The verdict? Yes, Warsaw is indeed one of the world's most vegan-friendly cities. And, at an affordable price point, no less.
As we settled into our seats on the journey home, clutching a box of Baja pastries – including, naturally, a Lotus Biscoff doughnut or two – I couldn't help but feel grateful for this culinary odyssey. Warsaw may have stolen my heart (and stomach), but it will always be remembered as a place where food and culture come together in perfect harmony.

I'm literally drooling just reading about this vegan paradise in Warsaw 
They have pierogi, noodle soup, and even shakshuka (which is like a total Mediterranean vibe over here 
)! I need to get to Poland ASAP to try all that deliciousness out for myself. And can we talk about the variety of restaurants and cafes? Like, £7-£17.50 per meal is SO affordable 
it's crazy! Perfect spot for veggie lovers and foodies alike 
a vegan paradise in wawrz? sounds like a dream come true! i need to add poland to my bucket list ASAP. i mean, pierogi and soy schnitzel? carbonara with vegan bacon? what's not to love? 
and omg the shakshuka at bistro jaskółka is giving me LIFE 
also, have u ever tried lotus biscuit doughnuts? game changer!!! 
I'm totally stoked about this vegan foodie heaven in Warsaw 
! As a food enthusiast, it's amazing to see how many awesome plant-based spots have popped up in the city 
. From traditional pierogi to trendy ramen shops, there's something for every taste bud craving 
. The writer's passion for vegan food shines through, and it's infectious! The fact that they got to take a cooking class and learn how to make pierogi from scratch? Goals 
!
. And at these prices? Unreal 
. If you're a fellow foodie or just looking for some new plant-based inspo, add Warsaw to your bucket list ASAP 
!
. Is Warsaw really the vegan capital of the world? I need some solid sources to back up that claim 
. I've got my Google goggles on and can't find any concrete evidence to support that assertion. What's next? Declaring New York City as the vegan capital of the world just because there are some trendy plant-based spots in Manhattan 
.
, overall wawrz is a hidden gem for veggie lovers tho! 
Read more about it here 
. It just goes to show that people are becoming more conscious of their dietary choices and willing to pay a premium for quality, sustainable food options 
.
. If we're going to promote veganism as a mainstream lifestyle choice, do we need stricter guidelines on what constitutes a 'vegan' product? It's a grey area that needs to be explored 
.
can't wait to plan my next trip back to warsaw with an empty stomach (and budget)
I'm not even a vegan but I can see why everyone loves it there. And the Museum of Modern Art exhibit on The Woman Question was so thought-provoking 
️. I love that they have these super yummy pierogi and noodle soup options - my favorite comfort foods! And can we talk about how affordable everything was? That's gotta be a major selling point for me 
and the prices are insane!!! £7-£17.50 for a meal?!?! that's like, crazy! but tbh if u can get a proper vegan pierogi or soy schnitzel in Warsaw u gotta take ur chances! the museum of modern art tho is def worth a visit 
i mean who wouldn't want to try all that pierogi and noodle soup? 
the fact that its super affordable is just icing on the cake, cant wait to plan my own vegan adventure there
