Prasowy is a comical place, where the insane gather for meals, so if you stake out a seat and wait, you'll see someone do something insanely stunning and comical. It's recommended that your seat is arranged so you dash out of the milk bar, should too many crazies come in simultaneously. As for the food, it's cheap and decent. In its better days, it was frequented by journalists, hence the name. Temporarily closed.

Small milk bar located near Plac Konstytucji. This particular milk bar serves up decent, but not good food, although it can be a tad difficult to find a place to sit and the kitchen can take a while.

Wook
al. Jerozolimskie 65/79
+48 (0/22) 630 7474
About 27 zł for a three course meal
Housed in the same building as the Marriott. The entrance is below street level and should be approached from ul. Chalubinskiego

Wook is a good and cheap place to grab Chinese. Soups and sides cost 4 zł, while all main courses cost only 6 zł. Wook also throws off the stereotypical European restaurant experience. OK, so while the service isn't amazing, it's effective, but the trademark difference between Wook and nearly any other restaurant on the continent is that the food will be on your table before you've even completed ordering.

Casa Mia
ul. Poznańska 37
+48 (0/22) 621 61 01
Located just a few steps from Al. Jerozolimskie and the Hotel Polonia Palace

A small, cozy pizzeria, Casa Mia is a great little restaurant to seek refuge and satisfy your hunger. Somewhat appallingly, especially since this is Poland, but Casa Mia doesn't serve alcoholic beverages, though they have non-alcoholic beer.
