Bibenda

Top choice in Warsaw


If this is modern Polish cooking, we love it. The beef cheeks doused in a 'magic' sticky sauce is a superb comfort dish. Or there's burnt sweet potato in a peanut sauce with a zing of lime, just one of several very good vegetarian options. The space combines a bar with a casual restaurant and feels contemporary and welcoming – no wonder it's popular.

Sunday brunch runs all day and includes egg dishes in a myriad of styles.
