Decent Barszcz — nothing more, nothing less

Barszcz at this place was fine. The rich and comforting flavour was there but not distinguished. dried mushrooms was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The a Warsaw milk bar setting was generic rather than immersive. kwas chlebowy bread drink was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Barszcz it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
