Main Feature: All Saints’ Day

ETNO Cafe 

The owners insist they know all their growers personally – quite a thing when you consider they import beans to be roasted in Wrocław, all the way from Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Brazil, El Salvador and Papua New Guinea. Pop by for a sit-in coffee, take one on the go, or peruse some of the bags of coffee, and accessories, they sell on site.

How You Doin’? 

If you and your friends were, or still are, obsessed with the US sitcom Friends, or you consider yourself to be a bit of a Chandler Bing or a Joey Tribbiani, but you can’t quite budget a trip to New Yoik right now to take in that cult sitcom feel…instead, go to the corner of one of the most communist looking parts of Warsaw, Constitution Square (Plac Konstytucji) for that little piece of Friends, in How You Doin’?

Rico’s Concept 

Rico’s Concept is situated in a stunning former bath house from the early 20th century. Indeed, when you are seated, there very well may be a functioning pool next to you! The interior is enough to steal your attention throughout your visit, but try and focus on the food, if you can. The owners insist on pointing out the chefs are from China with years of experience, and it shows.
