Happily stumbled upon Radio Cafe when we were waiting for our Airbnb next door to be ready. The owner used to be involved with a public radio station during communism, so the place looks like it's been frozen in time with books, magazines, and pictures of political figures, revolutionary activists, and past events. The warm lighting, cozy booths and tables gives an old library vibe. We had a couple hours to kill and the staff were really cool about us taking our time. Everything we had was delicious! The macchiato was made perfectly. The Zurek soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful. The mushroom and sauerkraut Pierogis were about the same as everywhere else, which was consistently good. We finished off with a nice vanilla ice cream, which came with soft cookies and blueberries. It looks like this place hosts events and shows as well. It'd be perfect for poetry slams. read more

Stopped n tonight for a quick dinner. The food was mediocre at best, bland, poorly seasoned, not especially tasty,. To make matters worse, the owner came over to our table and tried to sell us his book. I think politics should not be part of a dining experience. I would recommend this place. read more

Wonderful service, delicious food, vibrant ambience in this cozy, historic cafe. Framed photos of politicians and prominent thinkers line the walls and give this establishment an aura of historic significance. Highly recommend. read more

Fabulous dining experience, with delicious traditional Polish food and a charming owner who, at the age of 89, was full of life and shared his stories with us. When I mentioned I wanted to try Polish doughnuts but was leaving the next morning he sent some to our hotel, still warm! I can't recommend the cafe highly enough! Be sure to ask for Stash. read more

I had a quiet mid-week lunch at Radio Cafe at the end of April where I enjoyed good Polish food and good service. English-speaking waitstaff were pleasant and helpful, and the English menu helps, too. The Pork Schnitzel Polish Style featured a tasty breaded pork cutlet under a fried egg with a yummy side of cabbage, potatoes and bacon. Radio Cafe was just right: the best meal I had in Warsaw. read more

This cafe is a cute as can be. You almost want to hug it or take it home if you could. This is also your chance to try some Polish food. There is a whole history to this cafe so that is worth looking up. The service was slow, very slow which was the only detractor. However, I highly recommend a visit if you happen to find yourself in Warsaw. read more

Warsaw is full of amazing restaurants and this one has excellent food as well. But it also has a special ambience because of its owner's important ties to Radio Free Europe. Celebrating freedom of the press while eating yummy latkes and salmon was an assignment I gladly accepted. The servers were very friendly and were clearly happy to be there and proud of the history of the place. Pierogis were great and we also enjoyed the beet salad with pears and walnuts. Very fresh homemade food ! Putting this on the list to return another time! read more

Such a great accidental find in Old Town Warsaw! My first trip to Warsaw, walking around you can't help but to imagine what changes have taken place over the decades. There is so much history here. After a bit of shopping and sore feet, I needed a place to sit and recharge. Literally, my phones were almost dead. I found this place from other Yelp! reviews and the pics looked great. Coffee and beer and time to charge. I love cozy, dimly lit places like this. To me they're so inviting. After sitting and ordering a beer and cappuccino. The late afternoon turned to evening as I awaited for my girlfriend to meet her mom and brother. Being central to everything and seeing the menu items, we decided that everyone would come join me for dinner. I ordered the Lattkes and salmon. It was good and I enjoyed it. The sausage or steak plates looked delicious as well, my belly is only so big. Had we stayed longer in Warsaw, I would quickly become a regular here to hangout with my laptop with a cappuccino. Definitely stop in after shopping or to relax during the day. read more

Food was not tasty. Ambience was none. Service was okay. Disappointing. Wish I had had real Polish foods in Warsaw.

Amazing restaurant with amazing food! I went with my Polish friend and we both loved it. The history of the place is so interesting with the ability to see a bunch of signatures and notes from worldwide visitors. The owner was quite interesting to talk with as well, and it was a wonderful visit. Despite only being in Warszawa for 4 days, my friend and I came here twice. I highly recommend the borscht with meat dumplings as well. It was some of the best borscht I've ever had. read more

Decent service but deception with menu For our first dinner in Warsaw, we craved beef stroganoff. A quick google search indicated Radio Café had a good stroganoff, and it was near the Marriott where we were staying. Stroganoff- menu described the beef as filet mignon, but what we were served was very, very low quality, probably round steak. The mushroom were good but the beef was horrible and the sauce was just OK. Pig knuckle- Good but flavor was not great. The skin was only crisp on one side. Total price for our meal: 113 Zl Service: decent service, our waiter worked several tables both inside and out and was struggling to keep up. Ambiance: charming café ambiance Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: above average read more

In Warsaw you just have to eat Polish food and I did at the Radio Cafe. I learned that former Radio Free Europe employees once stationed in Munich are the ones who started this restaurant after the Polish section of the Radio closed after Poland became independent. But about the food...delicious! I ate pickles, kielbasa with fried onions and cold potato salad, all washed down with iced tea and a glass of beer: Żywiec. I also had an opportunity to speak with the cafe's owner, Stash, Stanislaw Pruszyński who worked Radio Free Europe in 1955/56. Great guy, great conversation. Delicious food served promptly with good service! read more

Food is good here. I believe an older man owns it, he's super cute. We called before hand to see if they offered French fries for our kids and he assured us that they did. When we went in the waitress told us no but when we told her we called, she ran to the back and then confirmed they have fries. The old man left and appeared with really good French fires. We appreciated his efforts. We've eaten here 3x in our visits to Warsaw and the food is always authentic and tasty. A cozy spot close to our hotel. read more

Found this gem of a restaurant, only a 10 minute walk from our hotel, the Mercure, in the heart of Warsaw. We wanted a good traditional polish meal and hit the mark with this restaurant: great ambiance & comfy, great food, great service, and a caring owner who stopped by our table to ask if the food was good & if we were having a good time. When we entered the restaurant during lunch there were no tables so we took a table outside, it was cool for September 19th, around 55 degrees, but sunny, comfortable enough to eat outdoors. Then, suddenly a cloud appeared & it started to sprinkle. By then a table became available, and the waitress kindly directed us to go inside. It took a few minutes to get reseated & order, but no big deal--we just waited and enjoyed looking at the photos of previous customers, some celebrities, and collages of famous Poles. We didn't recognize anyone, but hey, we're visitors to Poland. We ordered after waiting 5 minutes. I had the fried pork chop, a Polish favorite. It was crispy, but tender and well seasoned, came with red cabbage cooked to perfection, accompanied with a side of fried potatoes, topped with a sunny side fried egg. Just what I was hoping for, a nice hearty meal at a good value, only $36 Polish dollars , about $9 USA. My wife had the fried spinach perrogi with nice crispy edges & not greasy at all. The dough was thin, not too doughy, accompanied with a small salad. Our friends had the roasted pig's knuckle, a superb dish, the skin was a little crunchy& chewy, meat was excellent, not dry, but melted in your mouth, garnished with mustard & horse radish, also came with an order of fried potatoes. If you want traditional Polish comfort food, this is the place to come! Don't go to the food court! Walk a few extra blocks and get the real deal! read more

Well...this place caught me by surprise. On the outside it doesn't look like anything special, just your average euro-style cafe with outdoor seating. But you know what they say about looks...the can be deceiving. This restaurant has some truly authentic Polish cuisine. I had the soup that came in a bread bowl and the kielbasa. Both were absolutely fantastic and I'm so beyond full with Polish love! The menu isn't that large but it's diverse, and they also offer a daily menu in addition to it. Treat yourself, you've earned some meat! read more

Great food in an enchanting setting and rich history. It is close to the city center and I recommend everyone try it.

A great find! Food and service were excellent. This is a welcoming, small, comfortable cafe with a most interesting owner- count yourself lucky if you have the chance to chat. We had schnitzel with potato, and latkes with smoked salmon, and both dishes were perfect. Prices were fair. Service was prompt and charming. read more

We paid a surprise visit to Stash (owner) all the way from Los Angeles. The last time we saw him was our first visit in Poland in 2015. As always the food is the best in the entire of Warsaw -- no kidding! We are so grateful to spend an hour with Stash. He gave my son a book he authored. Sharing some photos here. read more

This is an excellent restaurant with authentic Polish food. I had the duck, and it was large and delicious. The sausage with onions was also AMAZING.

Great Polish food. Service was slow but the food came out hot and tasted incredible. Had the pork knuckle with potatoes and sauerkraut and it was fantastic. An older gentleman who used to work for Radio Free Europe came to our table and told us the history of the restaurant and their mission in Eastern Europe, which was really great. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We went here recommended by our Tour Guide. We ran into 2 of our friends from our tour, and two of our groups were already walking towards there, as soon as we got there, we met 2 more from our group, so all 8 of us decided to seat together. The server, moved tables to accommodate our group, even though the restaurant was quite crowded! We asked the server, what was the meaning behind the Radio Cafe. He pointed out the history on the back of the menu, and later the owner sat down to talk with us. He happened to mentioned that he received certificates from a group he had never heard of called Trip Advisor. He was told that his restaurant was rated #10 in the WORLD. He sat with us and talked about his life for about half an hour. I ordered Cabbage Rolls with (rice or potatoes, I picked rice of course), and vegetables. Husband ordered Beef Steak with pepper sauce & vegetables. We both cleaned our plates! The beefsteak melted in his mouth, it was so delicious. The wines that were offered were delicious. Service was supper friendly and a good time was had by all! BTW: the walls were covered by memorabilia from RADIO FREE EUROPE, an organization that beamed radio broadcast behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. read more

I had been told about the Radio Cafe prior to leaving for Poland and as luck would have it, it was right around the corner from where i was staying in Warsaw. The owner, Stash, [we did not meet him although others have] was a cold war dissident and one of the founding fathers of Radio Free Europe which provided news to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. We were seated immediately and given menus. Our waiter was very personable and attentive. My friend ordered the salmon which came with broccoli , cauliflower, green beans and small roasted potatoes. I ordered the grilled chicken salad which came with greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Our meals were very tasty. I would recommend and return. read more

Great lunch and dinner spot close to the Warsaw Train Station that serves up typical polish fare in a cozy setting. We were staying in a nearby hotel and found Radio Cafe one of our best meals in Warsaw. We ordered the sausage plate (two traditional grilled kielbasa served with potatoes), the pork schnitzel, and greek salad. All were large portions at a good value. Service was excellent and attentive with complimentary cherry liquor as a nice cordial post-dinner. The history of the cafe displayed in paraphernalia on the walls was interesting as well. Solid choice for visitors to Warsaw. read more

This was our first time in Warsaw and we all wanted authentic Polish food. This was definitely it!! There were four in our party and we each selected a different dish. Each one was unique in itself and each tasted excellent! Stash is the owner and he came by and we asked him to sit with us for a while. We asked him many questions about the history of the restaurant. He was fortunate enough to make it through the hardship of Covid but a restaurant like this will survive. Perfectly located in the heart of Warsaw it's a must do!! 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
