#FOOD
Cool down with “chłodnik”!
Polish cuisine boasts an infinite number of soups, ranging from traditional sour-rye („żurek”) that works wonders on rough night maladies to summer soups that actually cool you down. The latter are known as chłodnik or cold soup and are a must when in summertime Poland! Most Polish cuisine restaurants serve them – we recommend Specjały Regionalne (Regional Specialties) at ul.Nowy Świat 44 or Pasja Smaku (“Passion for Taste”, ul.Żytnia 64) run by a third-generation butcher and head of the butchers’ guild of Warsaw. If you’ve already tried the traditional beetroot chłodnik, we recommend to try other variations of the cold soup: avocado&lime, strawberry&watermelon and tarator, the Bulgarian take on the dish. Intrigued? Head to the Bastylia creperie at „Hipster Square” (official name: pl.Zbawiciela) and enjoy!

This summer season, the best parties in Warsaw happen by the riverbank. Navigate the dancefloor at Cud Nad Wisłą (now in its second location) and sweat it out to summer beats. Expect a medley of music styles from Radical Dancefloor Killers, including electro-swing / balkan-tech / nu & italo disco / mashup / bass / trap / moombahton / intelligent-house / chill-wave / tribal-dub / river-dance.
