Nolita

A Michelin Guide-listed kitchen turning Polish produce into precise modern tasting menus.

Reviewed and updated July 2026

Nolita is a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant on Wilcza in Warsaw's Srodmiescie district. The kitchen takes Polish produce and turns it into precise, modern tasting menus, so this is fine dining rather than a casual dinner. It is a place to book for a special occasion and to give a full evening. For the wider city, see the Warsaw guide.

Nolita's modern tasting menus

Expect a modern tasting menu built on Polish produce and cooked with precision. The focus is on technique and on letting good ingredients lead, course by course, rather than on a long a la carte list. This is fine dining that asks for a full evening at the table. Because the menu follows the season, the restaurant's own channels are the place to check the current format, sittings and price.

A refined dining room

The room is small and understated, in keeping with a tasting-menu kitchen. Service is close and the pace is measured. It reads as calm and grown-up rather than showy, which suits the food and the occasion.

Best for a special occasion

Nolita is for a considered, special-occasion meal and for anyone who enjoys tasting-menu cooking. Its Srodmiescie address on Wilcza puts it in walking range of the bars around Plac Zbawiciela, so you could follow dinner with a drink at Woda Ognista. For another benchmark kitchen in the city, Epoka rebuilds historic Polish court recipes into a modern menu.

Where Nolita is

The restaurant sits in the grid of streets south of the centre, handy to the Royal Route and to Lazienki Park for a walk the following day.

The kitchen is led by chef-owner Jacek Grochowina, and the cooking runs modern European with Asian accents, pulling in Polish, Mediterranean and Southeast Asian notes rather than sticking to one tradition. The dining room is built around a glass-fronted kitchen, so the cooking is on view.

Alongside the tasting format there is an a la carte option, and the tasting menu comes in five- or seven-course lengths with wine pairing available. Menus, prices and booking are best confirmed through the restaurant's official channels.
