If you're in the Old Town and hungry that's the place we recommend. Good food (Polish & international), affordable, nice staff. Many restaurants around the main square will charge you 2-3x as much and the quality is poor.

When you go down the bridge to the river (remain on left site of the Vistula) you will see many beach bars. The whole area up to the next Łazienkowski bridge is always full of people. It's a popular meeting place for locals in the evenings. We recommend Cud Nad Wisłą beach bar - marked on the map.
