On onset, Warsaw may seem like a mundane place with nothing much to do. However, upon closer inspection, you’ll find that there are actually alot of things to do and attractions in Warsaw Poland! Here are our top 5 things to do!

Things to do in Warsaw

1. Old City in Warsaw

This view taken from the room of Intercontinental Hotel Warsaw shows the aerial view of the entire old city of Warsaw. You may not believe it, but most of the original old city was destroyed during and post World War 2. Hence, most of what we see today is actually a “rebuilt old city” altogether. Meticulous huh?

Palace of Culture and Science from Intercontinental Warsaw Poland

The Intercontinental Hotel Warsaw is definitely the best hotel in Warsaw. Not only does it boast of the best view of the entire city of Warsaw (close up of the Palace of Culture and Science), you can also enjoy the view in the hot tub from the sky pool of the hotel! The breakfast at this hotel is also touted as the best buffet breakfast in the entire Warsaw. Complete with live harp music!

For a lower budget, you can also check out Platinum Residences that shares its facilities with Hilton Hotel Warsaw!

Folk Gospoda is simply the best polish restaurant in Warsaw! This restaurant is excellent in taste, has great service and has prices that are hard to beat (especially for its set lunches). So good, that we visited it twice in a matter of days!

Entrance to Folk Gospoda in Warsaw Poland

On our first night there, we were pleasantly surprised by the ambience. A cozy, homely feel accomplished with the wood finishes…

Menu of Folk Gospoda at Grzybowska Street

On our first visit to Folk Gospoda, we ordered the traditional polish fare of smoked duck and meat dumplings!

Folk Gospoda: Russian Style Meat Dumplings (24zl)

Both dishes were superb! The smoked duck was tender and the skin was crisp. The raspberry sauce complemented the smokey full flavoured duck. The dish was also served with sauerkraut as well as the potato dumpling which was chewy but oh so yummy!

On the other hand, the dumpling tasted really traditional (slight gamey taste) with bacon bits and pine nuts that really made the taste outstanding. The seasoning of the meat was not too salty, well balanced to bring out the flavours of the meat. Yum yum!

Set lunch at Folk Gospoda - Soup (Pea), Mains and Desserts for only 19zl! — Set lunch at Folk Gospoda – Soup (Pea), Mains and Desserts for only 19zl!

We decided to visit Folk Gospoda again because we heard about the set lunches which included soup, mains and desserts for just 19zl! (Thats $7.50SGD!). The other reason was because we simply had to try the honey-glazed pork knuckle which we saw on the menu on our last visit! Sounded so enticing! Again, we thoroughly enjoyed this visit…

Folk Gospoda Restaurant: Stick of Pork Skewer with Green & Red Peppers w Fries

The set lunch came with the mains of the pork skewer with fries and it was well worth the price. Although the meat was a wee bit tough, the taste more than made up for it. The smokey, BBQ, kebab-like taste was quite enjoyable. The light hot sauce helped to tingle the taste buds as well.

Finally, the highlight that we were waiting for…the Honey Glazed Pork Knuckle! Just by looking at the picture, you must be wanting to sink your teeth into it right? Well, it was REALLY juicy and tender! The skin was lightly sweetened by the honey and the meat, OH SO TENDER! The combination coupled with some light mustard was just perfect. Ma ma mia! Speaking of pork knuckles, we would still rank the Hof Brauhaus pork knuckle 1st. But this one at Folk Gospoda comes in a really close 2nd!

Folk Gospoda Warsaw: Creampie with Fruit

We ended off the meal with the fruit creampie. Seemed to us like a traditional dish. The cream was light and fresh. Tasted as though the cream was freshly blended and frothed before bringing up to you. The total bill came up to 70zl and it was really well worth it!

How to get to Folk Gospoda Warsaw Poland

Map to Folk Gospoda in Warsaw Poland

Folk Gospoda is located near the junction of Grzybowska and Wallcow streets. You wont miss it because you will notice a large mural on the wall that says “Folk Gospoda” and a logo of a peacock (we’re guessing here). Because we stayed at the Platinum Residences (beside Hilton Warsaw), it was just a short walk away.
