Warsaw Vegan Guide: 20+ Restaurants, Sights, & More
Before embarking on our Poland vegan adventure, we were given unsolicited advice, “You can skip Warsaw; it’s nothing but another city.” Like with so much unsolicited advice, we ignored it, continued with our plans, and ended up loving Warsaw!
The city is an exciting mix of new and old, and it’s crazy to think that, at one time, this city was almost decimated during WWII. Before we went, I thought for sure I’d have to eat a lot of potatoes and prepped my snack bag accordingly. I was wrong; the vegan food scene in Warsaw is alive and well! Warsaw is super vegan-friendly — I thought I might find just a couple of vegan restaurants and some sorbet, but I was dead wrong! In Warsaw, you will find many vegan and vegetarian restaurants serving diverse food, vegan bakeries, ice cream, and more! Your biggest problem will be how you’re going to eat all of it!

Oh, and one more thing! Pierogi & More also offers tasty vegan food tours of Warsaw to ensure you don’t miss any of the best spots.
Take a tour of Old Town (Stare Miastro)
During WWII, 85% of Warsaw’s historic city center was destroyed. After the war, the citizens of Warsaw meticulously rebuilt the city, and today one would never know what happened. While checking out Old Town, you should also stop at St. Anne’s Church and climb 100 stairs for a great view of the city. It will run you a few bucks, but it’s well worth it.
Wander The Royal Route to Łazienki Park
Grab a coffee and take a stroll down the path of kings. It is 11km, so you might not want to walk all of it but just enough to take in the beautiful buildings, parks, churches, monuments, and shops. You can easily grab public transit along the way and end at Warsaw’s largest park, Łazienki. It is full of beautiful gardens, lakes, palaces, monuments, and possibly a squirrel that wants to be your friend. Squirrels have become very accustomed to humans and are very interested in any trail mix you might have. Don’t be surprised if one comes right up to you.
Visit the Warsaw Uprising Museum + Mila 18
The museum is dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, during which the Polish people tried to unsuccessfully oust German troops and take back control of the city before the Soviets could take control. This was the most significant military effort undertaken by resistance forces against the Germans during WWII. Mila 18 commemorates the site of the headquarters of the Jewish Combat Organization. On May 8, 1943. Nazis found the bunker, some citizens managed to escape, but others committed suicide rather than surrender.
Shop at Hala Gwardii & Hala Mirowska Markets
These two fantastic neighboring markets are considered icons in the food scene in Warsaw. Both markets have weathered invasions, and destruction from war and have managed to emerge to serve the community. Both are great places to grab lunch and a souvenir to take home.
Buy Polish Pottery
There is no shortage of shops to buy beautiful Polish pottery, but you should be aware that there are fakes! This blog post gives an excellent overview of what to look for, and many shops are happy to explain the differences. The bigger problem is how you will get it home!
