Quite rightly tipped as one of the best places in Warsaw in which to enjoy a traditional Polish meal, Dom Polski occupies a caramel-coloured house surrounded by flower gardens. It's a romantic, old-fashioned venue serving all the classics such as duck with apples and pork chops.
Order ahead for special dishes like roasted boar and the turkey stuffed with veal.
