Restauracja Polska Czerwony Wieprz

A lovely restaurant, with a nice furniture inspired to Communist period. There are several tables, inside and in the external terrace. You can taste very good typical Polish dishes, prepared in a great way, like different soups and main dishes. We appreciated a lot the duck, meat was tender and very tasty. The service was really good and fast.

We made a reservation for Saturday evening and the restaurant was full. We were seated upstairs in one of the rooms, which was great as it gave us some privacy and made it easy to have a conversation. Since it was busy, we had to wait a bit longer fór the food. The meat was slightly dry, and I had to ask a passing waiter for the bread that was listed as a side dish. He looked like I was bothering him, and unfortunately had the same attitude when he brought the bread. On the other hand, our main waiter, although clearly busy, was always kind, smiling, and spoke English well. The restaurant is authentic and interesting thanks to its history. I truly believe that our next visit will be a better experience.

During our recent trip to Warsaw, we had the absolute pleasure of dining at Czerwony Wieprz, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit! This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Polish cuisine served with style, creativity, and a touch of nostalgia. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the unique atmosphere—warm, quirky, and full of old-world charm, yet still welcoming and relaxed. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and their service truly added to the overall experience. We started our meal with pierogi z jagodami—blueberry dumplings served with a velvety sweet yogurt, rich vanilla custard, and delicate edible flowers. This dish was nothing short of divine. Light, refreshing, and beautifully presented, it was a perfect opening to our culinary journey. For our main courses, we enjoyed a delightful mix of flavors. The chicken devolaj (devolaille) came perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy inside, accompanied by vibrant vegetable chips and a crisp, creamy coleslaw. Our son had the beef burger, which was hearty and satisfying, while our daughter chose two types of pierogi—spinach with feta and classic pierogi ruskie. Each dumpling was perfectly made, generously filled, and bursting with flavor. To finish, we couldn’t resist dessert. We tried the whimsically named kokiet mogiel—a delicious, light mousse-style dessert topped with fresh summer fruits—as well as a rich and creamy cheesecake. Both were simple but absolutely wonderful, proving that dessert doesn’t need to be fussy to be exciting. Everything we ate was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Czerwony Wieprz masterfully blends traditional Polish recipes with a modern and playful twist. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Warsaw—great location, incredible food, and a dining experience to remember.

Very nice place with an interesting history and great food. We were lucky to have a table upstairs in the "room". A truly authentic experience. The only thing I would rate negatively is the long wait for food and service in general. It's not a lack of service because they really tried but they had a full restaurant and obviously insufficient staff.

Place is huge. It offers sitting tables both inside and outside. It is very well decorated and although it is totaly meant for tourism, food is good. Portions are big so be careful when you order. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A must see in Warzaw specially if you are a foreign turist.

Loved it. The beef stroganoff was one of the best I have had. The Polish Sausages also had a lovely deep flavour. The portions are very generous and our appetisers could have filled us up enough for a main course. Because we ordered quite meat heavy dishes the portions meant we were unable to finish our mains. Nice rustic decor and atmosphere.

Excellent service and great food. The ribs were spot on, but the pork knuckle was next level—highly recommend it. Relaxed atmosphere with a nice buzz, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal.

This was the best restaurant nearby, recommended by ChatGPT, offering high-quality local food, with its own history and loyal customers. We visited it twice - once for dinner and once for lunch. Dishes: A wide selection of amazing dishes, with only one exception. - Pork knuckle: crispy caramelized skin, tender meat that melted in the mouth. Served with cabbage and mustard. Very filling, enough for two people. - Ribs: also tender with a crispy crust, served with barbecue sauce and delicious homemade potatoes. Drinks: - Horseradish tincture: light, delicate, and warming. Like it - Peach Bellini cocktail: had a chemical aftertaste. I tried it but decided not to drink it. It might be a big surprise for guests from Italy. I do not recommend it. - Homemade red wine: OK to taste one glass. It might suit some people, not for me Lunch: Unfortunately, we were served by a different waitress - a dark-haired girl. Due to the language barrier, she was unable to explain the difference between the borscht/borsch priced at around 18 PLN and the one at around 33 PLN. My husband asked which one would be closer to Ukrainian borscht. The girl grimaced and strictly said that this is Polish cuisine, not Ukrainian. I chose the smaller portion and received: - Borscht - just water in which beets had been boiled, with some dry herbs. - Burger - a very tasty burger with a high-quality patty, without sinew or excessive fat. I dipped my spoon into the soup and realized that I wouldnt be able to eat it. It was simply not satisfying. So, I didnt even try. The waitress came back, and I smiled and politely asked her to take the soup away, explaining that I was more amused than upset by the gap between expectations and reality. She frowned and said that I had ordered it myself. Okay, but since I wouldn’t eat it, why leave the bowl cluttering up the already narrow table? She left without taking the plate away. In the end, the soup (or borscht, as you call it) was included in the bill. I want to highlight one issue — dear owners, management, and staff, if you have certain political views, you might be surprised to learn that we are not Ukrainian citizens and had no intention of gorging ourselves on Ukrainian borscht. Your restaurant is famous for hosting guests from different countries, and yet your waitress couldnt even mumble a basic explanation of the ingredients. I give 5 stars for the quality of the dishes (excluding the borscht or that soup). Service gets a solid 3.

We came because it was 'kitchty', but the food was excellent. Tripe soup was delicious. Asparagus pirogies were great. Nice beer selection.

Our first night in Warsaw meant that we found an authentic Polish restaurant. The staff was super helpful, and they were willing to help us add an extra person to our reservation. We shared a few appetizers like pierogies and sausages. Everything was super tasty! My porkchop was tender and crispy. All the other meals that came out made my coworkers very happy, too. They have a great wine list and make good cocktails, too. I'd definitely come back here!

Unbelievably good! I grew up eating a lot of traditional Polish dishes. I was excited to try this restaurant after it was recommended by a friend who had traveled to Warsaw a few years ago. The food was amazing! My travel companion and I shared the Ukrainian style dumplings, mushroom soup, traditional beef tartare and the Polish sausage. Everything was scrumptious. If I was a Warsaw local I'd be eating at this joint at least once a month. The menu is extensive so you could go frequently and get something different every time. Staff were also very friendly and the service was great. The restaurant also has a great story so if you like history, you'll appreciate this aspect.

Cool restaurant with a Soviet-inspired vibe. I had half roasted chicken with a recipe as from the 70s that was pretty good with a good seasoning. I had some baked potatoes with herbs and garlic as a side which were actually amazing! To drink I had a "Rezane" which was half Pilsner and half Dark Lager which was a quite interesting thing that I had never heard before. Service is polite and quite good despite the restaurant being rather big and packed.

3 for the food, 5 for the decor and entertainment value. When and where else can you dine at a famous communist theme restaurant that once served Lenin and other notable leaders? Food is decent, but nothing to brag about. I had the wild boar and it was a bit dry at times. Would I go back again if I was in Warsaw? You bet your ass, comrade.

Decent establishment featured in the NYTimes. Nothing I'd go out of my way for and I don't have a huge comparison set for Polish cuisine so can't say I am the best judge but I found it overall okay but not impressed. Mushroom cabbage dumplings (3/5) - interesting flavor combination. Seemed like a cross between Beijing boiled dumpling skin and an Italian ravioli mushroom filling. Beetroot soup (2.5/5) - can't say I liked it too much but could just be the category. Half duck (4/5) - well prepared and succulent! Best thing I had by far.

This is a restaurant with a long history and played an important part in the war. The food here is delicious. Here's what I ordered: Pig knuckle: 5/5 Buckwheat groats: 5/5 Spinach dumplings: 4/5 Borsch soup: 3/5

Excellent food, decent service, fun atmosphere. It's kind of a gimmick. But then it kind of isn't, since the history is you know, real. But we found it an interesting idea, and our food was actually quite good (we ordered from the Proletariat menu). The place is big and so it definitely lacks any real cozy feeling or genuine friendliness. But our server was good anyway, and tried hard to make up for the less than perfect set up. Definitely higher prices than most places in the city, but then it achieved more of a "night out" presentation than most as well. So we thought it a fair value.

It's hard to judge this place since I really didn't get to enjoy the food. I came in and was seated almost immediately. The place was not full so I was expecting to be eating in no time. It took the servers 25 minutes just to come to take my drink order. That only happened because I kept bugging them that I needed to place an order. After I received my cold beverage it took another 20 minutes to take my food order. My this point I was ready to walk out. I ordered a bowl of soup and a main dish. The soup was amazing but the main dish never showed up. I told them I was ready to go and he brought out my bill with the missing plate on it. When I refused to pay the dish came to the table in a to-go-bag. Wow just wow. I will never return here.

What a great place. Service is superb. The Manager was so attentive to all her dining guests instructing servers. I used to own a Fine Dining Restaurant and she is exceptional. I had the pork knuckle and you don't need a knife to cut it(except for the crispy skin which I truly love). I paired with with Malbec in which I fell in love with when I was in BA. I strongly recommend this place.

The tartare was served quite elegantly and very generous portion. We split the pure knuckle and added potatoes. Again very generous portion even for two people. Had an obligatory shit of polish vodka, served I've cold and went down easy. The Soviet red decoration theme makes it a fun place to be. A dirt walk from the Uprising museum. Highly recommend

I still remember this day and restaurant, like if it was today. How can I forget the most expensive meal I ate in Warsaw? the fanciest, the yummiest, and the best customer service in Poland. Poland was for me a cultural shock. The people there, or at least the people working in customer service are just HORRIBLE! They have no manners, and literally they can tell you they will not sell you a ticket to get on the train because you are a tourist. HOWEVER, this restaurant was my best experience insofar while finishing my 36 hours in Warsaw. My waiter: because the guy was 2 mts tall and 1/2 mt wide, I could not put him in the luggage and bring him with me to America. A blond nice young man with the best attitude in the world. The restaurant: the history of this restaurant is just amazing. When the cold war, and immediately after, the left wing (communists) used to get together clandestinely in that restaurant. The restaurant was plotted but they builded it again. There is a very neat picture, and I should say that if I have to allocate myself in a political posture, I would prefer to be in the extreme right, rather than in the extreme left. Anyways, about the picture, all the leaders of the left in the 80's appear in the same table having dinner and discussing the world. Including the crazy Castro. Food: 10 points over the best qualification.

Park the wheel-barrow at the door, you're going to need it after. Polish food is energy dense to say the least. Perogis, pork knuckle, sauerkraut, spreadable bacon grease... It was all good. I can't eat like this often, but this is my first time here so I want to try it all. Service is polite- but so far everyone in Poland has been very polite (I'm pointing at you Italy!). My tip would be to share. That's what we did, and although not a common strategy locally, people were ordering their own starters and mains ect., we wanted to try a bunch of things so ate family style. The staff seemed cool with it.

I enjoyed the food. I had an Irish coffee, grilled salmon entree, and a chocolate dessert and left full. We were directed here by the kind hostess at Folk Gospoda since they were full with reservations. I very much appreciated the effort and directions. What spoiled the experience at Oberża Pod Czerwonym Wieprzem was the coatroom attendant, who was rude to me for some reason. He huffed and puffed when I took off my coat, scarf and hat, glared at me like I was nuisance and later pushed me as I was leaving. Disturbing.

Food was ok service was sloooow. Been waiting 10 min for check, looking around for waiter. Had to ask for it.

This is such a cute restaurant. The decoration was really interesting and homey and made me want to have a few pints with friends. There were many big groups having dinner when I went and it seemed like the perfect place meeting place. The food was good and affordable but I found that compared to other European countries prices in Poland are really good for food, hotel, taxi, etc...I had traditional Russian pierogis with a mug of borsch. My bf had the ribs which he loved and picked all the meat off the bone. Great place for traditional polish dinner especially with friends or family.

You have to go to this place if you want to try a typical polish diner ! The service is nice, the place is cosy and very tasty. I recommand the "housewife's bouillon". The dumblings with mushrooms and sauerkraut are a little bit spicy! The french fries are like Mcdonalds fries, but the quarters of roast potatoes are good ! The brownie is excellent

Gimmicky restaurant with high prices and mediocre food. The terrace is pleasant, though the same can't be said about the service while sitting there. We waited some 20 minutes before a waiter came by to take our orders. Apparently they wanted the guy with the best command of English to serve a table of foreigners. Understandable, but rather annoying. The food itself isn't anything to write home about. Good enough to impress first-time visitors, I suppose. If you're willing to travel you can definitely find better Polish food elsewhere in Warsaw.

First off, it's a short education in history, the two menus (bourgeois and the proletariat) seem ridiculous to us now, but that's how it used to be. The staff is very nice, cordial, and speak english which is incredibly helpful. The menus are also in english, not sure about other languages. I also really like the decor and the uniform of the waitstaff. The owners and the staff look like they care about the place and about working there. The food I ordered was delicious. My dad is a master at placki ziemniaczane [potato pancakes] and the ones I ate here were damn near close to the ones I am used to. Sałatki (side salads) were very good as well. Soups - amazing; hubs had the tripe soup and he was a fan. My only issue was with the sparkling water, it was Pellegrino... there's SO MANY mineral water brands in Poland that would be more appropriate to serve at a themed establishment such as this, that I just didn't get the whole Pellegrino thing. Hahahaha, but that's pretty good if that is my only complaint.

I love Polish food and this is provably my favourite place. Great ambiance along with great food!

This is a very funny and interesting consept for a modern restaurant. It shows how many restaurants used to be during the soviet union. They used to have 2 different menues, one for the poor and another for the wealthy. The food that I tried, General Tao's chicken, or something like that, was absolutely amazing. Wanted to go back and have it again. It was also possible to buy a super sized tube pitcher with beer. All in all, a fantastic experience for a tourist in Warzaw.

Great interior, Very tasty traditional food, had the duck with apples and it was a wonderful combination! Will definitely come back!

PRL style. Not so good food, but nice place to show old times.

The appetizers and deserts are awesome. Best apps are the board with cheese, bacon, onion rings, chicken, etc is amazing. I also recommend the prawns. For dessert, the Fidel Star is amazing. AVOID the wild boar and sausage entrees!! The wild boar is ground meat rolled and so dry. It's just terrible. The ribs are a good option.

Appetizer: mushroom Perogies and Borsch. The Perogies were actually decent but the flavours not too exciting. Not much depth but probably a good quality polish staple. The Borsch soup that was suggested to come with it actually did improve the Perogies as it added a strong beet flavour. Traditional Borsch is not just a clear soup but in combination with the Perogies this was actually good. I would order this appetizer again. Main dish and this is where the issue lies: no boar (or any meat for that matter) should ever be accompanied by such a sad side salad. Ever. Period. Meat: stuffed wild boar. Well, this was what we call roulade in Germany, it's thin slices of meat wrapped around something inside, ie. Mushroom, bacon and mustard in this case. However, it is not stuffed to my definition of stuffed at least. By construction this type of meat ends up well done plus, ie not what I want from a boar. Wild mushrooms: maybe but no strong flavours and not exactly many of them. Flavour wise I would not have been able to determine that this is wild boar and I have had wild boar before many times. It was tender but these roulade type of dish get cooked very long and a beef version would been have about as good. For a wild boar this was about as dry as you can get it. And it was probably less dry due to the bacon... Polish gnocchi: not different from other gnocchi despite claim that they are...see service below. Would not order this dish again....ever. Desert: hot plums with vanilla ice cream: hard to get wrong. Good. Too little ice cream. Would order this again. Conclusion: the proletariat dishes( in my case appetizer and desert) are better as they are simple and classic polish staples. The bourgeoisie dishes ask for sophistication that is clearly beyond the ability of the chef. Three star rating. Would be higher for proletariat dishes only but then warrant a different price point... Atmosphere: cozy but many foreigners. Should have been a red flag. Service: fast but rushed and not what I expect at this price point. My question on how polish gnocchi are different from standard gnocchi was answered with 'very' and honestly I wasn't able to tell what's different other than these were made in Poland.

This place is popular so make sure you book ahead, even during the week. It's popular because it's good - the service was friendly and mostly spoke English, the food is great (I'm no gourmet but two months on I can still remember how tasty their goulash was) and the attention to retro-Soviet detail extends as far as the English menu, which is beautifully translated and really rather droll. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I don't give five-star reviews ;)

Well Firstly if Bruce Willis can eat here and have a drink named after him it's certainly worth looking into. Upon arrival walking out into the crisp polish air I smelled the restaurant and immediately got excited. The wooden pig as you enter and Bruce Willis framed photo made this even better. The food was great. Dumplings awesome, wild boar was wild, the prawns where actually shrimp but F-it it was amazing. I drank a Bruce Willis and it was enjoyable and I could drink it again. I feel like men and woman could both drink it and it's tasty enough to accidentally get drunk. AKA - sex potion. Bruce Willis you are a sly cat. All in all I had a wonderful dining experience here and I recommend anyone to check out this communist themed restaurant with democratically acclaimed food. The polish are known for their potatoes and vodka and well add this Warsaw gem to the list for bringing it all together.
