Vegans in Warsaw - Wegańska Warszawa pt.3

Today's main character is "Wege Umami", a vegetarian and vegan restaurant. It has two locations in Warsaw: Żoliborz and Wola districts.

I was in Ogrody Ulricha (which literally means Ulrich's garden) at Wola. Ogrody has several different restaurants under one roof so it's very easy to find something appealing. When it's warm, you can enjoy food and beverages outside.

We ordered vegan crepes with apples and berries and "festive" aubergine with vegetables. Everything was delicious, especially crepes! It's first time I ordered vegan crepes, not pancakes, here in Warsaw. We paid 58 PLN (~13.83 USD or 12.90 EUR) which is a very good price for Warsaw.

Unfortunately, they don't have English Menu on their website but they have it onsite, so no worries 😉 But...just to tease you, they have vegan shakshuka, salad with baked pumpkin and pears, mushrooms pyzy (Polish type of dumplings), soy noodles, vegan desserts, and many more.

Go there and you won't regret 😋

Vegans in Warsaw - Wegańska Warszawa pt.2

I went to a new restaurant/bakery in Warsaw - Żywioły. Before I was either in a bakery or in a restaurant. In my universe those two places are located on the opposite sides: a bakery is something small, comfy, preferably local, and a restaurant is something elevated. This place, however, has the benefits of both. Certainly, it's elegant and not small at all, but without high posh vibes which make you feel uncomfortable and you are afraid to grab the fork.

Look at this. Yes, it's not a typical bakery or a coffee house but warm colours calm you down. On the left side, there is a big corner with the various croissants, desserts, sandwiches, brioches, you name it, they have everything. Only one big downside is that they don't have vegan desserts 😐

...and they also don't have many vegan options in general. So I ordered crushed eggplant with vegan feta cheese and raspberry lemonade. It was delicious but the lemonade was too sweet to my taste. My sister took roasted grain lemonade and I liked hers more.

I'd come back there to try their vegan sandwiches because sandwiches are one of my favourite meals. I often eat alone when I work from office and I prefer to grab a croissant or tofu sandwich in a near-by cafe. Hm 🤔 probably I need to make a post about my favourite sandwiches in Warsaw 🙃

Almost forgot... if you are in Warsaw and you want to go to Żywioły, here is the address: Chmielna 19.

Vegans in Warsaw - Wegańska Warszawa

An "old" reborn chapter of my blog: vegan places in Warsaw. Earlier I mentioned several places of Polish capital which are either 100% vegan or serve vegan options, and here is another one.

! menu in EN/PL and my order is below

The first place in 2023 is "OCHO", address: Mikołaja Reja 9. There are plenty vegan options but it does have non-vegan meals as well so if it triggers you, don't go there. My rationale is 1) it's impossible to ignore/avoid all places which are not 100% vegan and 2) supply-demand works and the increasing interest/need from vegans is always good.

If you think the same and you are a curious foodie who are done with "proper" meals for vegans, aka smoothies and salads, definitely go to OCHO. It shares the same building with the "Ochota Theater" and it has a very colourful interior.

What they have 😋 in PLN, Polish currency. I translate only vegan and vegetarian options.

I. Breakfasts:

Vegan toast with kimchi, cheddar, tomatoes, vegan mayo, nori, crispy onion, and chives - 31 PLN

Shakshuka (vegan option with avocado) with bread - 33 PLN

"Marble" pancakes, coating with white chocolate and matcha, whipped cream, and lychee (vegetarian) - 32 PLN

Vegan Okonomiyaki (Japanese savoury pancakes) with coriander mayo, Japanese mayo kewpie, pickles, sesame seeds, chives, and coriander - 29 PLN. served only on weekend.

II. Main dishes:

Silesian sweet potato dumplings with chanterelle sauce, lemon thyme, mustard (vegetarian gluten-free) - 31 PLN

Pumpkin dumplings with peanut butter, edamame, pak choy, soy-sesame and lemongrass chili sauces (vegetarian) - 31 PLN

Vegan kimchi fries with vegan teriyaki beef, cheese sauce, gochujang mayo, chive mayo, coriander, and chives - 39 PLN

Pumpkin red curry ramen with tofu and eggs in mirin and soy sauce, carrots, cucumbers, sesame seeds, peanuts, and chives (vegetarian) - 36 PLN

Vegan cheeseburger with plum jam, caramelised red onion and lemon thyme, pickles, garlic mayo, coriander mayo + coleslaw - 39 PLN (option with fries +8 PLN)

Taco with vegan beef, ancho red beans paste, pickles, cheese sauce, corn, jalapeño mayo (vegetarian) - 34 PLN

Bao with vegan chicken in gochujang sauce, kimchi, Japanese mayo kewpie, mustard (vegetarian) - 39 PLN

Vegan Bowl: ancho red beans paste, sweet potatoes, pickles, nachos with cheese sauce, peppers, jalapeño mayo - 35 PLN

Vegan Seitan with potato puree, crispy onions, and fried cabbage - 45 PLN (traditional veganised Polish dish)

Vegan Corn Dog with jalapeño mayo, ketchup, and cucumbers - 32 PLN

What I ordered... Honestly, my first intention was okonomiyaki but they run out of it so I ordered vegan kimchi toast with black coffee and it was an amazing choice 😌 You might say it's a simple toast but it was not a simple toast it was TOAST, the king of all toasts. I am writing it, and I feel this melting cheese in my mouth. The bread... mmm 😋 what can be compared to a nice crispy bread. It was heaven. I did not regret my choice.

The only downside was that we were waiting for a long time to get our food because there were so many people. On the other hand, it just proves how popular this place is and now I know why. Recommend recommend 💜

p.s. if you have other vegan places in mind which I need to go, please let me know.

LOTS of delicious FOOD to all fo you
