Hi! I'm a Polish-American who has spent most of his life in Poland, currently living in vibrant Warsaw — Europe's best foodie scene! I’m passionate about exploring the city’s endless delicious offerings. When I’m not discovering new food spots, I work as a psychologist in corporate Warsaw and enjoy bike riding and bouldering in my free time.

Tour description

Why visit Poland, and especially Warsaw?
For its rich history, amazing people, stunning architecture, breathtaking nature — and most importantly, its incredible cuisine!

During my tour, I’ll guide you deep into the world of Polish food. You’ll discover what a typical Pole eats, how we dine out, and I’ll take you to the most authentic spots to try specialties like zapiekanka, pierogi, barszcz, and maybe even a shot of vodka! I’ll share stories about our cuisine, traditions, and way of life.

You decide what you want to taste and how much you want to eat. Don’t worry — all our stops are wallet-friendly, and we’ll avoid overpriced tourist traps.

Beyond food, you’ll get a real feel for what it means to be Polish in Warsaw — through the eyes of a young Polish-American who loves this city and wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else!

What we’ll visit:

Palace of Culture and Science + Best Polish street food
Hala Mirowska + Traditional countryside market
Milk Bar (Bar Mleczny) – classic homemade Polish dishes
Polish 7/11: Meet Żabka
The best Polish sweet — Pączek
Polish chocolate factory and distributor
Cozy Polish bar to finish — maybe with a shot of something stronger!

If you want to experience the real Warsaw, eat like a local, and uncover the flavors and stories of Poland — this is the tour for you!
