After a trip to Warsaw this summer, we discovered that Poland’s capital is the perfect destination for food lovers like us.
Warsaw is bursting with trendy eateries and creative food concepts. In addition to restaurants for every budget, you’ll also find plenty of casual food halls and markets — and they’re incredibly popular!
Below is a quick guide to four of Warsaw’s best food courts and food markets.
Food Hall Elektrownia Powiśle
This former power plant by the Vistula River has been reborn as a modern and stylish food hall. The interior design draws inspiration from the building’s industrial past, executed with an incredible eye for detail. It truly feels like stepping inside a power station.
In a vibrant, urban atmosphere, you can enjoy high-quality dishes from all around the world — from Polish specialties to Asian street food. We tried the Indian food stall, which served delicious and authentic Indian dishes.
Food Hall Elektrownia Powiśle also features a couple of trendy bars, and the building houses several fashion and wellness shops that attract a young crowd. It’s the perfect place for a tasty lunch or to kick off the evening with a cocktail or beer.
Opening hours:
Sunday–Thursday: 11 AM–11 PM
Friday–Saturday: 11 AM–1 AM
Food Town at Norblin Factory
Food Town is Warsaw’s largest food hall, with 24 food stalls, 5 bars, and thousands of seats. The hall is located in what was once a massive factory complex, now transformed into a lively district filled with offices, shops, restaurants, and a cinema.
Elements from the old factory have been preserved — like rails, wagons, and machinery — giving it a unique industrial charm. Despite the raw surroundings, the place buzzes with life and the aroma of freshly cooked food from every corner of the world.
With its impressive variety of food stalls, there’s something for every hungry foodie here. Whether you’re craving a juicy burger or spicy ramen, Food Town won’t disappoint.
Along with food and drinks, the venue hosts live music events almost daily, and on weekends DJs spin tracks that might just get your feet moving.
We sampled a few classic Polish dishes from Polki — all of them delicious!
Opening hours:
Monday: 9 AM–10 PM
Tuesday: 9 AM–10 PM
Wednesday: 9 AM–11 PM
Thursday: 9 AM–11 PM
Friday: 9 AM–1 AM
Saturday: 10 AM–1 AM
Sunday: 10 AM–10 PM
Nocny Market
“Nocny” means “night,” and as the name suggests, it’s after dark that Nocny Market truly comes alive. The market pops up every summer in a disused train station and is a mix of food stalls and food trucks.
Nocny Market might cater mainly to the younger crowd, but even grown-up kids like us thought it was a fantastic spot. And hey — they even had a wine bar!
Enjoy everything from mouthwatering Asian street food to creative vegan delights. The chefs here love experimenting with new ideas, so you’ll always find something exciting and unique. Pair your meal with a drink, local craft beer, or a non-alcoholic option if you prefer.
We tried both Korean and Japanese street food — and everything was delicious.
Opening hours:
May 1 – September 17: 5 PM–12 AM daily
Mokotów Breakfast Fair
The last food market we visited is a pop-up Sunday market held in a park in the Mokotów district. Unlike Nocny Market, this one opens early and runs through the late morning and early afternoon.
In the lush green surroundings, you’ll be greeted by the smell of freshly baked bread, coffee, and Polish sausages. When we visited, there were also stands serving Afghan dishes and Syrian specialties. Some stalls also sell local handicrafts.
Mokotów Breakfast Fair has a completely different vibe than the other food halls and markets. The atmosphere is relaxed and neighborhood-like, with families picnicking and dog owners strolling with coffee cups in hand. It’s a calm and social meeting place — a lovely way to start your Sunday.
Opening hours:
Sundays: 10 AM–5 PM
