Raffles Europejski Warsaw
Raffles Europejski Warsaw is a multi-venue restaurant and bar complex on Krakowskie Przedmieście in central Warsaw's Old Town. It features several distinct spaces including a grill restaurant, patisserie, Long Bar styled after Singapore's original Raffles, a French bakery-bistro, and a cigar lounge.
The building dates to the early 20th century and served as a gathering place for Warsaw's social elite. Its various venues have maintained this tradition as spaces where people meet for refined dining and conversation, with modern updates preserving rather than erasing the historical character.
The name "Lourse" references a classic Viennese pastry tradition and reflects Warsaw's heritage as a Central European city. Locals gather here to enjoy sweets and tea in a way that continues long-standing social customs around afternoon treats.
The complex is located on one of Warsaw's most prominent streets in the heart of Old Town, easy to reach on foot and surrounded by other shops and cafes. Each venue can be visited separately depending on your interest, whether you want a full meal, drinks only, or just a pastry.
The Long Bar was designed after the famous Raffles Bar in Singapore and serves the Warsaw Sling, a house cocktail that blends Eastern and Western flavors. This unexpected connection between tropical traditions and Warsaw tastes is often overlooked yet becomes one of the most memorable details of a visit.
