The best of vegan Warsaw – and a food solution to the summer heat!
Friday is traditonally a no-meat day for many Polish Catholics, which makes for a great excuse to share with you some of the city’s best veggie venues. Also, isn’t it too hot to eat meat anyway? Krowarzywa is the vegan answer to Warsaw’s new foodie trend of gourmet burgers, Veg Deli cooks vegan AND organic, while Vege Miasto is the best budget option out there! If you think you know everything about vegetarian/vegan food, you’re in for a surprise!
And a vegetarian dish that is an absolute must-try in Warsaw heat is chłodnik, or cold soup made of beetroot and tons of other healthy stuff! It’s served in virtually all Polish restaurants, too! (Vegans beware, we serve this soup with a hardboiled egg!)
As we say in Polish, „smacznego”, or may it be tasty!

Scandinavian food in the summer heat
Ever heard of sapas? That’s the Finnish version of tapas and snacks that will be available for anyone attending the opening of Sapas Bar in Sztuki Club. The event will mark the beginning of “made in Finland” festival. And if Scandinavian food is not cool enough for you, head for cold chocolate next door in the Wedel old-fashioned cafe located in the former chocolate factory. And after 10 PM, head for the best Finnish party invention – silent disco! (The idea of a party where everyone listens to their own music was first featured in a 1960s Finnish sci-fi flick.)
