Before I visited Warsaw, Poland’s capital city, I didn’t really know what to expect. I honestly did not even know if I would like the city. However, having visited a handful of other Polish cities, I had a feeling there would be plenty of good vegan options.
I wasn’t wrong. In fact, Warsaw vegan restaurants are pretty incredible. And I was pleasantly surprised by just how vegan friendly the city is.
Plus, and I don’t go into it in this article, but the city is pretty cool too. Loads more green spaces than I expected, an eerily realistic reconstructed Old Town, and some really friendly people to boot.
