Finding the best Makowiec in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Makowiec I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled sauerkraut with genuine knowledge and the rich and comforting result was noticeably superior.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The winning restaurant had the right a Warsaw milk bar feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. Żubrówka bison grass vodka was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Makowiec is made properly it's a completely different experience.
