Kieliszki na Próżnej is where Warsaw’s wine lovers actually hang out. It’s not trying to be fancy—just focused on the perfect pairing of modern Polish small plates and a seriously curated wine list that leans heavily on Italian gems. You’ll find locals here for lunch deals or evening wine tastings with a sommelier who actually knows their stuff.
Wine lovers’ haven with smart Polish plates
Kieliszki na Próżnej has quietly become one of Warsaw’s most reliable spots for serious wine lovers who don’t want pretension. The menu is a clever reimagining of Polish classics—think duck confit or beetroot tartare served with a “tapas attitude” that encourages sharing and lingering. What really sets it apart is the wine program: over 250 labels, mostly from small European producers with a strong Italian focus, and staff who can guide you without making you feel like you’re taking an exam.
The space itself is intimate and unpretentious, perfect for a date or a low-key business dinner. Lunch is a steal if you catch the daily specials, and the evening service transforms into something more convivial with the right glass of wine. It’s not flashy, but it’s consistently good—which in Warsaw’s ever-changing scene is worth more than any Michelin star.
