Podwale 25 is more German than Polish. Food and beer is good anyway. However, advance reservation is advised - it is always packed (even in low season in the middle of the week - where all these people come from?)

Puszkin sounds Russian.

Vodka in Polish is written "wodka" pronounced "vudka", not "wydka".;-)

The best Polish food in Warsaw is in "u Fukiera" on rynek starego miasta (old town market square). It is also one of the most expensive restaurants over here.

Another good bet would be "Folk Gospoda" near ul. Grzybowska - food is Polish original and delicious, prices are much more grounded.

yes Folk Gospoda is a what I've heard has the most typical polish meal which is Schabowy with potato...and the size of it is huge, so you can't finish it, on top of it you have a very popular in Poland sour cabbage and ogurki (pickled cucumbers) and on top of it you have Polish beer, like Lech for example.
