We had dinner yesterday at Sour with my daughter, and it turned out to be the best dining experience we’ve had during our three days in Warsaw. We ordered the young carrots as a starter, Ukrainian borscht for my daughter, and beef ribs with potatoes and pickles for me. The flavors were truly impressive – you could clearly taste each ingredient separately. The meat, the carrots, the potatoes – all had their distinct flavor, which speaks highly of the chef’s skill.
The only downside for us was that the food felt a bit too oily – both the borscht and the ribs. People who are sensitive to rich, fatty foods (like me) might experience heartburn afterwards, which I unfortunately did. But that’s more a personal note than a complaint.
The atmosphere was absolutely lovely – cozy, beautifully decorated, clean, and with a wonderful aroma throughout the space, including the restrooms (which had great hand soap, hand cream, and diffusers). When the bathroom light stopped working, the staff quickly lit candles in candleholders – such a thoughtful touch!
Service was excellent – the staff were warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming, which is rare to find. Although the wait for our food was a bit long (despite the restaurant being only half full), we didn’t mind at all, as the ambiance was so pleasant.
As food lovers who follow Warsaw-based food bloggers, we came to Sour because it’s featured in many reviews – and it fully lived up to the hype. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates thoughtful, well-executed cuisine and a truly hospitable atmosphere.
