WYRAJ, Warsaw

Restaurant Wyraj, founded by Dawid Zimnowodzki, with its modern interpretations of traditional Polish and broader Slavic cuisine, has been acclaimed with Michelin’s coveted Bib Gourmand yet again in 2026, as well as by Gault&Millau! This unique Warsaw restaurant, located within the vibrant Browary Warszawskie, draws guests seeking gastronomic excellence in its cozy, social setting. The name ‘Wyraj’ comes from Slavic mythology; it refers to a paradisical land of feasts and lush nature, and indeed this spirit of abundance is channeled here. Ingredients are locally sourced, and natural flavors are enhanced by the fact that everything is prepared on the premises.  Chef Adam Drężek’s seasonally driven menu includes extraordinary creative dishes rooted in Central and Eastern European traditions—chabanina, a rare roast beef served with juniper and czuszka oil, fermented garlic spread, potato crisps, and pickled onion, is a standout example. Creative drinks and a sharp wine list further enhance the experience; this is indeed a place to linger long after the food is over!
