The story
Anawa in Warsaw builds its Polish-accented international cuisine around shared tables and generational recipes. The kitchen draws its foundation from family instructions that grandmothers once passed down through quiet conversation. This approach shapes every plate, treating cooking as a method of storytelling rather than mere service. Guests can choose between an intimate corner or a central communal table to experience this narrative-driven style.
The menu translates those inherited teachings into straightforward yet precise dishes, proving that Polish-accented international cuisine thrives on honest preparation. A prime cut of beef tenderloin rests alongside creamy spinach and a tangy fermented green pepper sauce. Lamb shanks require slow braising before arriving with a sharp tartar sauce and wild marinated chanterelles. Roasted sturgeon completes the sequence, resting on a deeply caramelized onion reduction.
Located on the upper level of the InterContinental hotel, the space uses white, beige, and soft green tones to keep attention fixed on the food and conversation. Large glass panels frame panoramic views of Warsaw while maintaining a calm, uncluttered environment. The flexible layout easily accommodates quiet two-person dinners or lively group gatherings around a single long table. This consistent execution earned the kitchen a score of fourteen from Gault & Millau in 2026.
