Francuska street
This weekend we have spent our free time on the right side of the river, walking and relaxing on the Francuska (French) street. It is located just behind the National Stadium, but has a totally different feel than in the city center – it is quieter and more laid back.
Francuska street is the main street of Saska Kępa, in the district of Praga-Południe and one of the most charming places in Warsaw. On weekends it is quite busy and attracts people from different parts of the city. Along the street you have impressive tall trees and the oldest preserved buildings come from the 30’s of the twentieth century that have still “seen” battles during World War II, which gives it a unique character.
The atmosphere among old willas and high, century-old trees, positively fosters creativity and gives inspiration to write. I may also come to write my next posts here.
Today it is a popular street for meeting friends, with countless cafes, pastry shops and restaurants. When you walk along this street, that is reminding of an avenue, and see people sitting relaxed in summer gardens of cafes, sipping their drinks, you are immediately tempted to stop in one yourself for a Saturday lunch.
Below you can find a selection of the most interesting cafes and restaurants on Francuska street:
Café Baobab, Francuska str. 31 – a small cozy cafe with a very original design, serving Senegal cuisine, with African music in the background.

Handroll Grab & Go, Francuska str. 32 – sushi as street food – fresh rolls to go. Very cool idea of a healthier street food. You can also eat the rolls in their small cozy summer garden.

F30, Francuska str. 30 – a place mainly known for the colorful umbrellas outside the cafe. The perfect place for coffee and cake in a pleasant atmosphere.

Bella Napoli, Francuska str. 18 – another opening of the already known pizzeria and spaghetteria, with a homey feel and as most restaurants on this street, also with a charming garden.
