Polish cooking workshop in Warsaw led by the founders of Warsaw Like a Local

Rated 5/5 by our guests!

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This was such a perfect activity - the host couple was amazing - so welcoming and kind and fun to cook with and get to know! We feel like we got a “real” taste of Warsaw - in their own flat and away from the touristy areas of Warsaw! Would 100% recommend!

    Me and my friend booked this workshop for the first evening of our trip to Warsaw and it proved to be an absolutely wonderful and memorable experience. (...) it turned out to be a terrific start of our trip and I highly recommend a culinary workshop by this friendly couple to anyone planning a visit to Warsaw.

    We had a truly memorable evening with Justyna and Michał. (...) Making szarlotka itself is not difficult, but Justyna and Michał went far beyond that, giving us a wonderful introduction to Polish cuisine and traditional culture. We also enjoyed homemade, authentic Polish snacks and the traditional soup żurek. Thank you both for your generous hospitality.

    (...) The workshop was very well organised and taught by a truly likable couple who are both incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. (...) What really stood out was how relaxed but well structured the whole class felt. It was never rushed and never stressful, and thanks to their warm personalities, I felt at home rather than in a classroom. (...)

    Since it was only four of us, the night progressed rather quickly with many laughs, stories, but most importantly, a lot of knowledge about the basics of the sourdough baking After baking, we shared a delicious dinner prepared by Michal and Justyna and just talked - I remember we even stayed past the “workshop hours” since time ran so fast :) 12/10

    Amazing class for my family, our kids felt right at home! We worked with them in the booking process to customize a class that the kids would enjoy (...) They were EXTREMELY well prepared for us, the flat was clean and organized. It was amazing to connect with locals and talk about their lives, much more personal than a big group lesson. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience!!!

    I really enjoyed this baking class. The presentation was very professional and well-prepared, which made everything easy to follow. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with, creating a cozy, open, and welcoming atmosphere. And of course, the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

    I have taken cooking classes all over the world and particularly enjoy ones that offer true home cooking. This class is exactly that (...). The hosts Michal and Justyna made me feel immediately at home (...) We together made an absolutely delicious soup that I had never tried but now is a must for my family in the U.S. (...) If I'm ever back in Warsaw, I will love to take another class from you

The founders of Warsaw Like a Local enjoying a shared meal during travel

Most travelers visit Warsaw through museums and guidebooks. We believe the best way to understand a place is to sit at someone’s table.

When we travel, we look for small, real moments — a local homes and stories that don’t feel scripted.


That’s why we run small culinary workshops. In our ordinary Warsaw flat. 


We hope that we will meet together at one table and share stories from different cultures.

Justyna & Michal
