Another traditional Polish restaurant, but when in Poland, that's honestly the only thing I'd like to eat. Hubs and I popped in here to escape the rain and because he's read positive reviews online about it. I'm adding. The staff is great! Polite, professional, well informed about the food, speaks English, very helpful with the food choices and pairings. I was indecisive and couldn't choose between two entrees, so the waiter offered me half of both as one. It was perfect! I ate both things without overeating and no leftovers. Hubs and I recommend the barszcz, zupa ogórkowa (pickle soup), pyzy (potato dumplings), and a few things off the chef's special menu which were all great! I also likes the decor, it's eclectic and reminiscent of yesteryear. I sat on the green velvet couches which after dinner seemed like a nice comfy spot for a nap [which I did not take]. I like that it's a unique, small business type of place. The quality is noticeable. read more

This Polish-American kid approves. I have to say there are tons of great restaurant. I ate here twice on my trip. The first time because it was conveniently close to the train station. I had the stuffed cabbage and it was AMAZING. I've ate stuff cabbage my whole life and it was the best ever. The 2nd time was by mistake because it was noon on a Saturday. Many restaurants don't open until 1PM and i was in a hurry. Perogies are perfect too! read more

Radio Cafe - Polish Near Me - Warsaw, MZ

See all

Once again great service and excellent Polish cuisine. Good selection of wines, vodka properly served neat and chilled. Blue berry pierogies were outstanding Will always come by when in Warsaw. read more

Enjoyed my dinner here! We were staying at the Mercure which was not far away and I found reviews on tripadvisor for this restaurant. Its a great central location. Nice outdoor sidewalk pavement seating. Lovely waitstaff. Good food. I had the Ruski Peroggi which were very tasty and my husband had the stuffed cabbage rolls which he enjoyed. We also had a great salad that we shared (large!). I did not venture in to look at the memorabilia but it looked pleasant from what I cold see. I would go back again. read more

We rolled in after a long few days in Katowice and Kraków, and were blown away by the freshness and authenticity of the dishes. Best traditional Polish food we've ever had, and the best Pierogi's I've ever tasted. Just fantastic. read more

It was a stroke of luck to stumble upon this little gem for my first experience of traditional Polish food in Poland, and a delight! Most of the diners appeared to be locals - always a good sign. I enjoyed the Bigos Myśliwski (Hunter's Stew), and the simple but tasty and filling apple pancakes. The coffee was excellent, too. The waiters were friendly and attentive, the prices attractive (for a Brit on a budget!), so I may well return when back in Warsaw. read more

This is typical Home-style Polish food. Spare setting, good and friendly service. We ate there 4 nights in a row and did not run out of options. read more

Handily located near our hotel in a quiet neighborhood, we found Radio Cafe strictly by the line or people inside and out. We even got to meet its famous owner, who played a big part in keeping Radio Free Europe alive in Warsaw during the war. We beer and wine selection is quite broad and interesting for a Polish cafe. But we enjoyed the duck and pork dishes, perfectly done, with excellent sides. We also had the cold plate appetizer which stands out amongst all others in the city. And despite their crowd, we were never rushed!! And we were the only tourists in the cafe. read more

A great unassuming restaurant serving excellent local cuisine. Here in Warsaw on business travel and found this place very near my hotel, went in with a coworker (both of us are from USA). We were both pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. We ordered the Polish Starter platter, definitely a great choice if you like cold cuts and cheese for appetizer. The entrees were on point as well overall great experience even though they were out of pierogies for today so I couldn't order any, but the rest of the menu is more than sufficient to satisfy your hunger! read more

We ate the "Camembert na goraco" and the "kielbasa" hoping to eat some tradicional Polish food and they did a pretty good job. Both well cooked and tasty but I got the feeling that the food lacked something. For the dessert we ate "Racuszki z jablkami", a mix of a donut with a pancake filled with apple. SPOTLESS. Amazing dessert. read more

First dinner in Warsaw. Nice, relaxing atmosphere, owner was so interesting to talk with. And of course the food was good!

Radio Cafe was the first restaurant we tried in Warsaw and it set the standard for a warm and cozy traditional Polish meal. The walls are decorated with relics of a time when Poland was decidedly behind the Iron Curtain and the people craved information, and this cafe is a hangout of the folks who provided that info through underground radio. We enjoyed the Perogen, liver, beef stroganoff, cheeses, the Polish beer Zwiec and some other traditional fare and we left full and happy. As a bonus, we shared a beer with the owner, who regaled us with stories of the kind of mischief and subterfuge endemic to the communist era. read more

Excellent traditional fare, extensive menu and friendly evening vibe, it was very busy at 9 on a Thursday evening, we had green pea soup, bigos,and pork chop, all excellent. We spent three times as much in Paris for a meal that was half as tasty! Quick walk from several nearby hotels read more

This restaurant was amazing and so was the service. I would highly recommend especially for local polish cuisine.

Good, good place! Food is well conceived and executed, furnishings and decorations very appealing, service is competent and thorough, and the beer is cold and very tasty. The location is also super, as you can get here from anywhere: streetcar, metro, bus, train and even plane, as the bus from the airport stops just around the corner. For all these reasons it is also a very popular place, so you will have to wait your turn. Do so! read more

Great service, great wodka, great beer, and great garlicky bread for those that enjoy too much great beer and wodka. The Christmas jams on the radio were choice. read more

This is a great spot for Polish food. No only do they cover the basics but deliver the best pierogi with the city limits. They offer 5 types of pierogi and allow you to order 8 in grouping of two so you can taste sample at least 4 of their speciality. Their Hunter Stew is perfect as well as their cabbage.rolls. They serve their vodka in frosted glasses from a verity of styles of Polish liquor and the experience is perfect. read more

Food is excellent and price is reasonable. It happened we were seated next to the owner of restaurant - Stash. We had a good conversation throughout the dinner. We got a very good time and dinner. Will be back here next time we visit Warsaw again. read more

Delicious Polish food, wonderful staff, and beautiful ambiance. All around a fantastic option to grab authentic Polish food. The owner, Stash, made our experience even better! He gave us a background on his life and the restaurant, as well as provided us with recommendations in other European countries we were visiting. I highly recommend visiting this place! read more

Very pleased with our visit to Radio Cafe. During our week in Warsaw, we ordered Zurek several times, this was the best. We also experienced the pig knuckle with tender, fall off the bone meat. Finished off with apple pancakes and vanilla ice cream; the best! read more

The owner, Stash Pruszynski, a remarkable man, who trekked the world over since 1945, past owner of restaurants in New York, Montreal, with having started from less than nothing! Visit this place, read the paper with Stash around one of his outdoor tables, you won't regret it. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Ate here twice for dinner and once for breakfast during a four day stay in Warsaw! All of the food is so tasty - there are daily specials as well as standard items. The kielbasa melts in your mouth - the cabbage rolls are sublime and the hunters stew is packed with flavor! Blueberry pierogi - yummmm read more

Went there for lunch today, expected it to be at least okay, but the food wasn't great. Ribs that my friend had were not that good, but the presentation was okay (he got a lunch deal but they forgot to give him dessert, which was included in the price). On the other hand, my potato pancakes with smoked salmon were really tasty, but did not look as good. Price wasn't bad, but it was still too much for such quality. Maybe we were just unlucky, but I wouldn't go there again. read more

We ate dinner here, and it was a very good, authentic Polish meal. I had the kielbasa with fried onions and salad, and my husband had the stuffed cabbage rolls. Both dishes were delicious! One of the people in our party had beef stroganoff. It was very different than what we eat in the US, but she said that it was still good, just different. The sauce had more of a tomato flavor, and it was not served over noodles or rice--just by itself in a bowl. We had a very tasty citrus cake for dessert. This place is not a fancy restaurant at all--very homey and welcoming! The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Like an earlier reviewer wrote, this was our first meal in Poland. It was delicious. You can taste the care that went into every detail. We had the stroganoff, potato and cheese perogies and potato pancakes. I'm writing this a few days later. I want to eat here again before we leave Warsaw. By far we had our best meal here and I hope to have another. Highly recommend. read more

The owner sat with us and told us stories of the cold war and how he was smuggled from communist Poland.

Wonderful staff and great food. Loved the traditional pierogi's. Will certainly return.

Enjoyed the food and the ambience - helpful waiter - cool place frequented by locals, always a good sign - will return one day
