- Last updated: November 26, 2024
You surely know the taste of pancakes. Thanks to a mixture of wheat flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and butter, a batter is created, which when poured onto a pan and heated, results in a ready, soft, and fluffy pancake, and it's only up to the chef's imagination how it is served. And masters of pancakes in Warsaw definitely don't lack it.
The menus of establishments serving the best pancakes include dozens of flavour variations, both savory and sweet. Are you a vegan? Pancake houses in the capital also have something for you - pancakes without eggs, without gluten, without milk - everything is possible, and most importantly, they still taste delicious.
Your guide to delightful pancake houses in Warsaw
There are many places that prepare sinful pancakes in Warsaw. Each of the pancake houses described below in Warsaw stands out for its creativity, masterful precision in preparing pancakes, secret recipes that make the dough delicate, light as a cloud, and openness to modifications, which are a nod to people with dietary restrictions. Warsaw revolves around pancakes!
In this guide:
Naleśnikarnia Manekin
Which creperie is the best in Warsaw? It doesn't matter whether you ask a born and raised Varsovian or a tourist from Podlasie. Most likely the answer will be the same - Manekin. It's an iconic restaurant, beloved by the young and old, the rich and those a bit less privileged. The prices in Manekin are reasonably affordable considering the current inflation, and doable for every budget.
What apart from the prices makes Manekin stand out from the other pancake places and have such good reviews? Obviously, the delicious, genius food! Everyone will find something for themselves. If you decide on a morning visit between 9 and 12, you'll get the breakfast menu, where the scrambled eggs and their variations rule, as well as warm, crispy toasts and, as it should be in a place that serves delicious batter cakes - American-style pancakes with eggs and bacon. Yum!
Lunchtime meals have even more to offer. The menu has both sweet and savory dishes. You can order salty crepes, corn-based crepes, green crepes (no eggs are used for their batter), grilled cheese crepes, crepe tagliatelle, as well as soups and salads. And if you'd rather sweeten your afternoon, then you can get classic sweet crepes, chocolate crepes, and pancakes with or without chocolate. We recommend adding raspberry or chocolate sauce - then your crepes and pancakes will taste even better, and the level of sugar in your blood will jump like crazy!
Naleśnikarnia Lalka
Are you a fan of sweet meals? Then the perfect place to satiate your cravings in the capital will be the Doll creperie. Although the menu has a sweet section, a lot of clients choose their savory crepes.
You can fight your hunger with their classic crepe with spiced chicken, basil pesto, dried tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, and sauce. The chef's crepes are also tempting with their taste, but what stands out the most on Lalka's menu is ... their burgers. Burgers in a pancake place? How come? Are crepe burgers even edible? They are! And they taste delicious! You can let the flavours transport you to; Italy with its Italiano burger, the Iberian Peninsula with its Spanish-style burger, or stay in Poland and try the Highlander crepe burger. The unusual combination of a crepe and specific regional products is something you have to try. Your taste buds will thank you!
Doll also offers the possibility of booking a table so you won't have to worry about a long, exhausting wait in the queue. The only thing you have to do is go on their website and, using a special form, book as many places and tables as you need. If you are thinking of visiting the city to walk around the Łazienki Królewskie park, then a stop at Lalka will be a perfect ending to your excursion because it's located only eight hundred metres from the famous gardens.
Crepe Cafe
Want to feel like you're surrounded by coral reefs? Then go check out Crepe Café! A coffee shop in red and white hues, "hidden" in between smaller streets creates a unique atmosphere. In Crepe Café, you'll find both sweet and savory crepes. From the savory section, you can choose, among others, three different kinds of crepes for vegetarians, crepes with salmon, chicken, cheese, turkey, and chili con carne. The sweet options are mostly crepes with Nutella and white chocolate. If you'd rather have something healthier then you have to try the strawberry or mango crepe. Both of the fillings are full of flavour and are guaranteed to give you a fruity refreshment!
Crepe Café also serves waffles with powdered sugar, Nutella, or even ice cream. Savory waffles are an option too, f.ex. with Cheddar cheese (the "Chedarro") or tomatoes and mozzarella (the "Caprese"). Since Crepe Café has the word "café" in it, they have a whole selection of different kinds of coffees, from energizing espresso, and creamy cappuccino, to the delicate latte. And if you don't drink coffee, you can opt for hot chocolate or discover their unique pink hot chocolate. If you like discovering new flavours and experimenting, then go for a chai latte - a tea or coffee extract with spices, milk, and sugar.
Kto to zjadł naleśnikarnia – kawiarnia
Great question, Who did? The menu at Kto to zjadł shows that a crepe in Warsaw on Puławska Street will tempt anyone to try it - you can choose from both salty and sweet options, as well as a dozen vegan versions. Their crepes offer tradition in a modernized version, which is proven by their options with roasted vegetables, grilled sausage, or ribs in barbecue sauce - a combination of flavors that's rarely seen in other pancake places in Warsaw.
In the sweet section, you have to try their tiramisu crepe! Sponge cake infused with coffee, wrapped in a pancake, filled to the brim with mascarpone, and served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce - heaven for your palate!
If you're vegan, you'll be delighted by the fact that Kto to Zjadł offers a special menu for you and uses vegan cheeses and whipped cream. Kto to zjadł pancake-café also serves pancakes. You can choose various versions, with vanilla or chocolate sauce, with fruits, jam, and even honey. All of them are also available in veganized form!
Naleśnikarnia Mr Pancake
Want to try American-style pancakes? Then you have to go to Mr. Pancake - the restaurant's kitschy, sugary interior and incredible, unique dishes make it a place you must check out. Their pancakes look like works of art. If you choose their Pinky Surprise, you will be astonished - a stack of American pancakes poured over with Nutella, covered in pink chocolate, a Kinder egg, strawberries, and, on the top, a pink cotton-candy cloud - it's a design frenzy.
If you prefer something more salty, try the Sneaker Boyz pancake. The salted caramel ruling in this dish will satiate your craving for something salty with a hint of sweetness. Your taste buds will go crazy! Another thing worth having at Mr. Pancake is their lemonade, which isn't served the usual way. On the top of the big, refreshing drink, there's a ball filled with smoke that looks like a cloud - it's pretty impressive! Mr. Pancake also serves pizza, vegan pizza, and burgers. You'll definitely find something for your taste.
