#FOOD
Officially best food in town!
Gazeta Wyborcza, the biggest Polish daily, gave the 2013 „Best Restaurant” title to Jung&Lecker, a wine bar serving delicious weekday lunches (for 21 PLN between 12pm and 4 PM) with regular menu changing every week (!). Go see for yourself what the town is raving about and check their FB postings (through google translate) to know the lunch of the day-it always includes a soup and a quite wide range of pasta, salads and main dishes which is quite uncommon for a lunch set. Dish out the additional 8zł for wine, so worth it! Smacznego! But hurry while the food lasts (lunches might run out by 3 PM).
And if they do run out of lunch, have a go at quince soup – sound exotic and Polish at the same time
And if they do run out of lunch, be sure to try pear soup with saffron milkcaps instead!

#MUSEUM
Delve into history through art!
Recently reorganised, the National Museum of Warsaw exhibits an array of works of art dating from the times of ancient Egypt up until the 21st century. You can also admire Polish classics like Matejko (don’t miss his immense ‘Battle of Grunwald’!), Malczewski or Wyspiański. But what truly fascinates us there is the section of European medieval religious art (one of the biggest in the world). This part of the exposition was recently re-opened after massive renovation. We still remember how impressive it was for us when we were kids-2.5 meters tall wooden crucifixes, with all the details of the suffering Christ presented right in our faces… long corridors with silent, mysterious yet beautiful Madonnas and dozens of angels starring at us all the way.. both amazing and frightening. Whoever said museums are boring?
Where: Muzeum Narodowe (National Museum), al. Jerozolimskie 3

When: 10am to 6pm Tuesday-Sunday
How much: free admission to the permanent exhibition on Tuesdays, 20pln to visit temporary exhibitions
