Restaurant in Warsaw, Poland
Two Michelin Plates. Book for occasions.
Europejski Grill holds Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025, placing it among Warsaw's reliable choices for a special occasion dinner at the €€€ tier. The address inside Hotel Europejski on Krakowskie Przedmieście adds strong visual context. Booking is easy, the cooking is consistently rated, and it works well for business dinners, celebrations, or a well-placed meal on the Royal Route.
Europejski Grill has earned back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, which puts it in a small group of Warsaw restaurants that have cleared the Michelin threshold for quality cooking. At the €€€ price tier, it sits alongside hub.praga and Bez Gwiazdek in the upper-middle bracket of the city's dining scene. If you are planning a celebration dinner or a client lunch on the Royal Route, this is a sound choice. If you are looking for the most ambitious cooking in Warsaw at this price, know that the competition is real.
The address alone carries weight: Krakowskie Przedmieście 13 puts Europejski Grill in the Hotel Europejski building, one of the most recognisable addresses on Warsaw's central ceremonial boulevard. Arriving here for a dinner, you see the kind of room that was built for occasions. The architecture of the Royal Route context is visible from the windows, and the interior carries the formality of a grand hotel dining room without feeling frozen in time. For a first date, a significant birthday, or a business dinner where the setting needs to do some of the work, the visual context here is among the strongest of any restaurant at this price point in central Warsaw.
The cuisine is classified as Modern Cuisine, which in practice means a kitchen working with contemporary European technique applied to seasonal ingredients. This is not a tasting-menu-only format in the way that some of Warsaw's more tightly formatted restaurants operate, though the €€€ pricing signals that à la carte choices will be priced to match the ambition of the room. For diners coming from other European capitals, the comparison point worth having is that Warsaw's top tier at €€€ tends to offer strong value against equivalent rooms in Prague, Vienna, or Stockholm — you get comparable cooking at a lower spend.
At a hotel restaurant of this standing on Krakowskie Przedmieście, the bar program is part of the proposition. The drinks offering at Europejski Grill is positioned to match the room: expect a wine list calibrated for the corporate and celebration diner, with coverage across European regions and the kind of by-the-glass range that supports a business lunch without requiring a committed bottle decision. Warsaw's cocktail culture has developed considerably in recent years, and a hotel bar at this address needs to hold its own against the city's dedicated cocktail venues. For guests staying in the area or arriving before dinner, the bar is a functional starting point rather than a destination in its own right. If a serious cocktail program is your primary reason for going out, Warsaw has more focused options, including the bar scene covered in our full Warsaw bars guide. As part of a dinner booking, however, the drinks here support the occasion rather than detract from it.
On timing: the Royal Route location means this stretch of Warsaw is busiest on weekend evenings and during the summer tourist season. For a special occasion dinner, a midweek booking in autumn or early spring gets you the room at a quieter moment, with staff less stretched. Saturday evening is manageable but expect a fuller room. Booking is rated easy, so you are not fighting a two-month waitlist, but for specific dates around holidays or Warsaw's major cultural events, book at least two to three weeks ahead to secure your preferred time.
Europejski Grill makes the most sense for: a couple marking an anniversary or birthday who want a room with presence on a central address; a business dinner where the hotel setting and Michelin Plate credential provide neutral, trusted ground; or a visitor to Warsaw who wants to eat well once at a location that is central to the main tourist corridor without travelling to a neighbourhood restaurant. It is less suited to a group of friends looking for a lively, informal evening, where Dyletanci or elixir by Dom Wódki offer more energy at a lower price point. It is also not the right call if maximum culinary ambition is the goal — Warsaw has a handful of restaurants pushing harder in the kitchen at the same price tier.
For context on how Europejski Grill sits within Poland's broader dining scene: Michelin Plate recognition at this level is consistent with what you find at well-regarded hotel dining rooms in other Polish cities. Bottiglieria 1881 in Kraków operates at a higher Michelin level, while Muga in Poznań and 1911 Restaurant in Sopot are regional equivalents worth knowing if your itinerary extends beyond Warsaw. Within Warsaw itself, Nolita and The Farm serve different parts of the occasion-dining market and are worth comparing depending on your priorities for the evening.
The Google rating sits at 4.2 across 223 reviews, which is a solid baseline for a hotel restaurant at this price point but not an outlier. It suggests consistent satisfaction among a broad range of guests rather than a cult following. That is actually useful information: Europejski Grill is reliable rather than polarising, which makes it a lower-risk booking for a dinner where the stakes are high and you cannot afford a miss.

Europejski Grill is at Krakowskie Przedmieście 13, 00-071 Warsaw, within the Hotel Europejski complex. Price range is €€€. Booking difficulty is rated easy. Michelin Plate recognition has been awarded in both 2024 and 2025. For current hours, reservation options, and menu specifics, check directly with the hotel.

The venue data does not confirm a dedicated tasting menu format, so it is worth checking directly before booking with that expectation. At the €€€ price tier with Michelin Plate recognition, the kitchen is operating at a level where a tasting menu, if offered, is likely to represent good value against equivalent formats in other European capitals. If tasting-menu dining is your primary goal in Warsaw, confirm the format in advance. Otherwise, the à la carte option here is the safer assumption for a first visit.
Yes, this is one of the stronger choices for a celebration dinner on Warsaw's Royal Route. The address inside the Hotel Europejski building carries visual and historical weight, the Michelin Plate credential provides reassurance on cooking quality, and booking is easy enough that you can plan without stress. For a birthday or anniversary, it works well. For a more intimate or experimental occasion, consider Nolita or hub.praga as alternatives with different atmospheres.
At €€€ with back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition and a 4.2 rating across 223 reviews, it delivers consistent value for the price tier. Warsaw's €€€ bracket is still notably cheaper than equivalent rooms in Western Europe, so the absolute spend is likely to feel reasonable for international visitors. For locals, it sits at the upper end of a regular dining budget, making it more of a special-occasion spend than a weekly option. Compare it against Bez Gwiazdek if you want modern Polish cooking at the same price point with a different register.
The location on Krakowskie Przedmieście is central and easy to reach, which removes any logistical friction. The cuisine is classified as Modern Cuisine, so expect a contemporary European approach rather than a traditional Polish menu. Booking is easy, so you do not need to plan far ahead, but specific dates around public holidays warrant two to three weeks' notice. It is a hotel restaurant, which means the room serves a broad range of guests , business diners, tourists, and celebration parties , rather than a single narrow crowd. Dress expectations are likely to be smart-casual given the setting and price tier, though formal dress is not required.
The database does not specify a dress code, but the combination of a grand hotel address, €€€ pricing, and Michelin Plate recognition strongly suggests smart-casual as the baseline. A jacket for dinner is sensible. Trainers and casual weekend wear would read as under-dressed for the room. If you are arriving from a business day in Warsaw, office attire is entirely appropriate.
Venue data does not confirm bar seating as a specific option. Given that this is a hotel restaurant rather than a dedicated bar, the bar area is more likely to serve as a pre-dinner drinks space than a standalone dining counter. If eating at the bar is important to your visit, confirm with the restaurant directly before booking. For a full bar-dining experience in Warsaw, our full Warsaw bars guide covers venues where the bar counter is a deliberate part of the service design.
At the same €€€ price tier, hub.praga offers modern cuisine on the Praga side of the river with a different atmosphere. Dyletanci is worth considering for a less formal evening. If you want to step down a price tier without sacrificing quality, elixir by Dom Wódki and The Farm serve different parts of the Warsaw dining market. For a broader comparison, see our full Warsaw restaurants guide. Outside Warsaw, Arco by Paco Pérez in Gdańsk and Acquario in Wrocław represent the upper tier of Poland's regional dining scene if your travels extend further.

What to weigh when choosing between Europejski Grill and alternatives.
Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 signals consistent kitchen quality, which makes a tasting menu format a reasonable bet at €€€ pricing. That said, the Michelin Plate is a quality marker, not a starred distinction, so expect accomplished cooking rather than a destination-level experience. If tasting menus are your format, this is one of the stronger options on Krakowskie Przedmieście. For a more informal à la carte evening at a comparable tier, Bez Gwiazdek is worth considering instead.
Yes — the address at Krakowskie Przedmieście 13 inside the Hotel Europejski building gives it the kind of setting that reads as a genuine occasion, not just a good dinner out. Back-to-back Michelin Plate awards confirm the kitchen is operating at a level that matches the room's ambition. Anniversaries and milestone birthdays are the obvious fit here. For a business dinner with similar formality, it also works well.
At €€€, you are paying for the address, the setting, and a kitchen that has held Michelin Plate status for at least two consecutive years. That combination is defensible for a special occasion. For everyday dining or a more casual night out at a lower price point, Rozbrat 20 or alewino give you more flexibility. The value case at Europejski Grill is strongest when the occasion justifies the full experience.
The restaurant sits inside the Hotel Europejski complex at Krakowskie Przedmieście 13, one of Warsaw's most central and recognisable addresses. The cuisine is listed as modern, and the price range is €€€, so plan accordingly. Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 means quality is consistent, but this is not a Michelin-starred room, so calibrate expectations toward polished rather than destination dining. Booking ahead is advisable given the address and profile.
The combination of a €€€ price point, back-to-back Michelin Plate status, and a hotel address on Krakowskie Przedmieście points clearly toward dressed-up rather than casual. Business attire or a polished evening outfit is the practical choice. Arriving in jeans or trainers would be out of step with the room.
The venue data does not confirm bar seating details, but a hotel restaurant of this standing at €€€ on Krakowskie Przedmieście typically offers a drinks program alongside the dining room. If a more informal bar-led experience is what you are after, hub.praga or alewino are better suited to that format. For Europejski Grill, arriving with a table booking is the practical approach.
Bez Gwiazdek is the closest alternative if you want modern cuisine at a similar quality level with a less formal register. Butchery & Wine suits meat-focused diners who want a polished but more relaxed room. Rozbrat 20 is a strong option for a neighbourhood feel at a slightly lower price point. alewino works well if wine is the priority alongside the food. hub.praga is worth considering if you prefer a more contemporary, off-centre address over the central hotel setting.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
