The Polish are passionate about what they eat and if you enjoy good food, there's an incredible variety of it on offer in Warsaw. From Poland's national dish, bigos to local favourites such as Golbtsy to every tourist's favourite, Pierogi Dumplings - you're sure to find something that you like. Of course, you don't have to eat Polish, there are plenty of non-Polish restaurants in the City. In the most expensive restaurants you can expect to pay over 100 zl for a meal for one. If you want something cheaper, go to a small restaurant or bar or have a pizza (from 20 zl). 'Milk bars' offer the cheapest food (5 to 9 zl). A cake in a Warsaw café will cost you 3-8 zl, a cup of coffee 4-10 zl. The price of a beer in a pub varies from 6 to 10 zl. The majority of larger restaurants accept credit cards.
