Food & Drink
Experience Poland's hearty cuisine, from pierogi to flavorful bigos.
Sitting snug in Northern Europe, Poland's cuisine is hearty to keep you warm and cozy no matter the weather outside. Pierogi is the country's most popular culinary export, and for good reason. These dumplings have a variety of fillings, including potatoes, cheese, meat, sauerkraut, and more, served with a dollop of sour cream. There's also a sweet version filled with fruits like cherry or blueberry, topped with sugar for the perfect sweet treat.
Cabbage is a staple of the Polish diet. In its fermented form, it becomes sauerkraut, which pairs perfectly with kielbasa, a delicious smoked sausage that can be served warm or cold. These are both combined in bigos, a traditional stew often referred to as "hunter's stew" because of its wild meats. It takes a structural form in golabki, a cabbage roll filled with meat, chopped onions, and rice topped in a spicy tomato sauce.
Vodka and beer are Poland's most recognizable drinks, meaning many varieties are found throughout the country. Tea is also very popular, and can be sipped with a lemon slice or sugar.
