Eating Our Way Through Warsaw

• Enjoying a snack on a lovely pedestrian street in Warsaw.
• All of Poland rejoices as outdoor dining resumes luckily the day we arrive.

Bill enjoys Polish breakfast

 

So happy to drink coffee

 Still unsure of what lies ahead at the Polish border, we play tourist and visit the Warsaw Museum of Culture and Science near our hotel. A cool creepy exhibit about world wide spiders fascinates us. We amuse ourselves by finding each spider in its cage though many elude us.

Warming beetroot soup

As we make our way to Old Town,  we get caught in an unexpected downpour. What to do? Eat lunch and wait it out. My choice of warm beetroot  soup in a mug accompanied by cheese and potato pierogi hit the spot.  

I am on a mission to find some amber for which Poland is known for my sister.  In each shop, we enter we are ignored by shop keepers on their phones. It seems to me that they got out of the habit of having many  or any customers due to Covid restrictions. Fortunately, Poland will slowly transition  to a new normal with tourists and shoppers.

That evening Bill craves Mexican food which suits his vegetarian or as I call it "cheese-atarian"  diet.  Amazingly, we find FRIDA within walking distance of our hotel.  I order a Polish bloody Mary and am happy to find both vegetarian and vegan options. I am neither but am in the habit of approaching meals with a non meat mind set as we now have both a vegan and a vegetarian in the family.

Something for everyone

What would Frida Kahlo think?

We thoroughly enjoy Frida's, and on this is our last night in Warsaw, we pause to consider our good fortune to be able to travel.  Onward to France!

So many Fridas
