New Restaurants in Warsaw: July-August 2026

W Maśle, Kruczkowskiego 4

Stylish breakfasts in the morning and an evening sharing-style menu with natural wine – all in an exceptionally attractive (and very beautiful!) location in Solec.

Breakfast is served until 3 pm and includes a take on the croque monsieur, fried eggs on brioche with truffle, granola, omelettes, spreads, pastries and, of course, the option to add bread and butter.

From 4 pm, the evening menu takes over, with dishes such as beef or tuna tartare, fried zucchini flowers, tagliatelle with Parmesan or truffle, hummus, and a couple of desserts.

Niby, Solidarności 64

A creative (and slightly cheeky) neo-bistro from chef Vadim Astori, right by Plac Bankowy. The place looks and feels absolutely fantastic: there's room for designer furniture, homages to the former Bar Gastronomiczny that used to occupy the site, and even a disco ball.

For now, the menu focuses on unusual breakfasts and brunches, but an interesting evening menu and a good selection of natural wines are coming soon.

Charlotte Bouillon, Złota 83

Charlotte has opened a new Bouillon inside the restored Wolf Krongold townhouse at 83 Złota Street. Unlike Charlotte's bakery-led locations, the menu here puts greater emphasis on traditional bistro cooking. Meat and vegan bouillons are available throughout the day for PLN 22, while dishes include coq au vin (PLN 38), boeuf bourguignon (PLN 40), steak haché with fries (PLN 42), Burgundy snails (PLN 28) and Alsatian-style pike-perch (PLN 40).

At the same time, the restaurant keeps the elements that have defined Charlotte for the past 15 years, including bread from its own bakery, viennoiserie, house-made jams and breakfast served from morning until closing.

Senator, Emilii Plater 53

Senator has opened on the seventh floor of Warsaw Financial Center – a new restaurant with panoramic views of central Warsaw, a summer terrace and a concept bringing together four different culinary directions. The project occupies 1,200 m², including a 200 m² summer terrace overlooking the Palace of Culture and Science and central Warsaw.

The culinary concept combines four directions – French, European, creative contemporary and Japanese cuisine. Each is led by a different chef: Oleg Bilyi (Chef Blanc), Stanislav Slavashievich, Vadim Kostenko and Oscar Bayar.

Nomad, Sierakowskiego 1

The new restaurant in the Port Praski development is designed as a proper gastronomic journey around the world. The owners – Anna Borrazzi and Filip Rusina – drew inspiration from the culinary traditions of France, Italy, Poland, Scandinavia and, naturally, their favourite Thailand, which they travelled around for 12 years.

The Nomad menu includes straightforward breakfasts ranging from a Scandinavian version with smoked salmon and cottage cheese or eggs Benedict to shakshuka, unusual soups such as chilled watermelon soup, fish tacos, turmeric tabbouleh, Thai street food, as well as steaks, pizza, pasta, risotto and tiramisu.

An additional bonus is the terrace, which is particularly unusual for the area – overlooking the canals of Port Praski, plenty of greenery and even a glimpse of the National Stadium.

Cała w Mące, Francuska 10A

A new location of the famous artisan bakery Cała w Mące has opened in Saska Kępa – directly on the site of the recently closed Kukułka pastry shop.

The main feature of Cała w Mące (and the owner's signature style at the same time) is a powerful crisp crust. With this approach, they make excellent Orkiszowiec and baguettes, as well as dark rye breads – the selection here is genuinely huge. Another highlight is the beautifully executed seasonal baking: jagodzianki in summer, panettone closer to Christmas.

Katsuo, Potockiego 24B

Katsuo has opened in Royal Wilanów, adding another address to Warsaw's growing Japanese dining scene. Rather than positioning itself as a sushi restaurant alone, the concept combines traditional Japanese techniques with a menu that spans raw seafood, the konro grill and contemporary hot dishes.

Fish is prepared using the traditional Japanese shio-jime technique, which draws out excess moisture to improve texture and concentrate flavour, while cryogenic freezing is used to preserve quality and ensure the safety of fish served raw. Katsuo also highlights its use of Hitomebore rice from Japan, Chiba Shoyu soy sauce, Yokoi vinegar and bluefin tuna, each accompanied by detailed background on its origin and production.

Splendido, Wronia 10

Splendido draws inspiration from the golden era of Italian dolce vita and the atmosphere of Italian disco clubs of the 1970s and 1980s. Inside are theatrical interiors, a dedicated DJ booth and a large disco ball, reflecting the concept behind the space.

The menu spans much of Italian cuisine, including antipasti, tartare, carpaccio, seafood, Neapolitan-style pizzas, fresh pasta, risotto, grilled fish and meat, alongside classic desserts such as tiramisu, panna cotta and affogato. Italian Disco Nights with DJs are already listed among the venue's regular events.

Kicia, Chmielna 108a

A new spot with Asian cuisine in the very centre of the city. Inside, it's minimalism in every possible form: concrete, low wooden chairs, geometric dark-wood furniture, large panoramic windows and – very charmingly – chopstick rests shaped like little cats.

The food is equally interesting: comforting and very far from boring Asian food in a variety of styles, with no fear of making light but confident experiments. Cherry tomato kimchi with stracciatella? Absolutely. Takoyaki made with pulled beef and oyster mayonnaise? No problem. Ramen gets a separate mention, with Kicia offering as many as five recipes.

Coffee & Matcha

Oromatcha, Szeroki Dunaj 11

A ridiculously beautiful, highly Instagrammable spot in the very centre of the Old Town and – believe it or not – a project with seriously good-quality matcha. The menu includes drinks based on first-harvest Nōburu matcha, strawberry matcha with collagen, a local take on bubble tea, as well as Oromatcha signature drinks, including one with miso crumble, ice cream and Kuromitsu syrup.

Food includes shokupan milk bread with anko made from azuki beans, mochi, matcha chocolate, dates with cream and dango. And for art lovers, there's an added bonus – the wonderful Concept 11 studio, usually closed to the general public, can be accessed directly from Oromatcha.

Gest, Hoża 43/49

The perfect micro-coffee shop, focusing on specialty coffee (as well as seasonal drinks based on it) and – drumroll – the best dessert for coffee ever: canelé.

A stylish minimalism in the approach to the menu is matched by an equally stylish interior: clean lines, a play of dark and light tones combined with metal, and spot lighting. The studio Metraż is responsible for all that beauty.

Masuda Chaho, Poznańska 16

Designed around Japanese minimalism, Masuda Chaho combines a matcheria, restaurant and retail shop. Natural wood, clean lines and traditional tatami seating create an atmosphere intended to reflect the quiet rituals of Japanese tea culture rather than simply serve as a backdrop for them. At the heart of the project is Yasuhide Masuda, a chashi (tea master) who has spent more than 30 years preserving the traditions of Uji tea. According to the team, his long-standing ambition was to bring authentic Uji matcha beyond Japan's borders.

Alongside a wide selection of matcha and hojicha drinks, the menu includes ramen, udon, yaki udon, gyoza, futomaki, nigiri, teriyaki dishes, karaage, takoyaki, miso soup, edamame, natto, wakame salad and Wagyu nigiri. For the summer season, the spotlight is on Japanese kakigori – finely shaved ice served with a variety of toppings.

Exxy, Hoża 54

This coffee shop made quite a splash from the moment it opened – not least because of its remarkable coffee prices. Espresso starts at PLN 4, cappuccino and iced latte cost PLN 11, while a flat white is PLN 12 – for 2026, all of this looks almost unbelievable.

There are also desserts, including jagodzianki and malinanki, tarts, tiramisu and Basque cheesecakes. The prices for these, however, are fairly average for the city.
