Step-by-step itinerary

The experience

The tour centers on food: you'll move between local restaurants and a patisserie, tasting a full set of traditional Polish dishes at each stop. The standard 3.5-hour option visits three venues with different atmospheres, letting you sample appetizers, soup, main courses and dessert without repeating a kitchen. The budget version covers two stops (restaurant and patisserie), while the premium 5-hour tour adds a fourth venue where you choose either eight beers or eight vodkas to taste alongside the food. A licensed guide leads the whole experience and speaks your language: English, German or Polish.

Between tastings, you'll walk through Lublin Old Town with the guide pointing out the charming tenement houses, Plac po Farze (the square created after the church was dismantled), Trinity Tower with its views across the city, and the medieval Castle near the Old Town district. The walking tour is woven through the food stops, so you're not doing a separate sightseeing leg. You move between venues on foot and see the landmarks as you go. The guide knows which dishes are available that day and will swap in another traditional one if something runs out.

Bring an appetite: the Polish tradition is to serve enough food to make a table collapse, and the operator warns you to eat only breakfast beforehand if you want to try everything. Soft drinks, Polish beer, coffee, tea and a shot of vodka are included across all options. If you have food allergies or eat vegetarian, let the operator know when you book so the venues can prepare. Arrive on time. The guide waits up to 30 minutes, but any delay cuts into the tasting stops. The tour runs regardless of weather.
