Warsaw is Poland's capital and largest city, a Vistula river city of roughly 1.86 million people that combines a reconstructed UNESCO-listed Old Town, royal palaces, major museums and a modern skyline.
Warsaw cooking combines Polish staples such as pierogi dumplings, żurek sour rye soup, bigos hunter's stew and breaded pork cutlet with a postwar milk bar (bar mleczny) tradition of cheap canteen meals. The city also has a modern Polish dining scene led by Michelin-listed kitchens in Śródmieście and Praga, plus a large vegan and international offering.
