Renowned restaurateur Mateusz Gessler has renewed the lease agreements for his acclaimed Warsaw eateries, ĆMA and Warszawski Sen, securing their place in Hala Koszyki for another five years. Both restaurants, fixtures in the iconic Hala Koszyki since its launch, recently celebrated eight years of serving Warsaw’s food lovers and cultural enthusiasts.

Hala Koszyki, Poland’s pioneering food hall, has established itself as a culinary and social landmark in Warsaw, attracting locals and tourists alike with its unique mix of dining experiences. Combining food, art, and atmosphere, Koszyki has redefined the city’s gastronomic landscape. Gessler’s restaurants, which have been integral to this evolution, are widely recognized for shaping Warsaw’s contemporary food culture. The renewal reflects a continued partnership between Hala Koszyki and Gessler, along with his co-managers Łukasz Henryk Sagan and Joel Birman.

“I’m thrilled to remain part of this innovative project that has transformed Warsaw’s dining scene,” said Gessler. “We approach each day with the same passion we had at the beginning, constantly seeking new ways to delight our guests and make their time with us memorable.”

ĆMA, a 24-hour restaurant inspired by urban cuisine, will soon undergo a renovation aimed at appealing to a new generation of patrons, including Gen Z diners. With its compact 122-square-meter space, ĆMA has built a loyal following by merging modern aesthetics with Polish culinary traditions, offering a unique venue for both dining and conversation.

Meanwhile, Warszawski Sen, a 280-square-meter venue designed with sleek, dynamic interiors, offers a modern Polish menu developed by Gessler and head chef Robert Kondziela. The space, which hosts events for up to 100 guests, provides patrons with a full sensory experience, blending culinary and visual artistry.

Piotr Krowicki, Marketing Manager of Hala Koszyki at Globalworth Poland, praised Gessler’s contributions: “Through ĆMA and Warszawski Sen, Mateusz Gessler has helped craft the unique atmosphere that defines Hala Koszyki. We share a vision of creating a space that combines culinary, artistic, and social experiences, honoring local flavors and traditions while keeping pace with the city’s vibrant pulse.”

Hala Koszyki is currently expanding its food and beverage offerings, with renovations planned for Tuk-Tuk, a Thai restaurant, and Curry Leaves, a celebrated Indian eatery. These upgrades are part of Koszyki’s commitment to evolving alongside Warsaw’s dynamic culinary scene.

The venue’s impact extends beyond dining, as demonstrated by recent accolades. Hala Koszyki was a finalist in the 2024 Food Business Awards and was recently awarded the Superbrands Emblem for the second time, underscoring its status as a trusted and beloved destination. Additionally, Koszyki hosts an ongoing calendar of festivals, concerts, and themed events, enhancing its role as a community hub where Warsaw’s diverse crowd can meet, enjoy, and be inspired.

For eight years, Hala Koszyki has remained a magnet for unique culinary experiences, and with Gessler’s extended commitment, it’s set to remain a cornerstone of Warsaw’s gastronomic and cultural landscape.
