New restaurant to open at Hala Koszyki in mid-2025

A new restaurant by Warsaw-based restaurateurs Katarzyna Błońska and Tomasz Czudowski is set to open in the middle of 2025 at Hala Koszyki, one of Warsaw’s best-known culinary destinations. The concept is being developed in a newly prepared space within the historic food hall.

Błońska and Czudowski are behind several well-known gastronomic ventures in Warsaw, including Alewino, Muzealna, Café Pląs, and Café Podrygi. They are also co-founders of the Kukułka bakery brand and contributors to cultural initiatives such as Warsaw’s intergenerational dance events. Their new project at Hala Koszyki will focus on seasonal cuisine using high-quality ingredients and draw inspiration from global culinary traditions. The menu will be complemented by an extensive selection of wines, spirits, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

The restaurateurs noted that they had been searching for a suitable location in Warsaw’s southern city center—an area they have called home for more than two decades. They were drawn to Hala Koszyki’s combination of historical architecture and modern features, especially the inclusion of a hidden patio space that blends elements of old and new Warsaw.

The interior of the new venue is being designed by Loskiewicz Studio and will reflect both contemporary trends and architectural references to Hala Koszyki’s early 20th-century origins. Custom furniture and design elements will be incorporated to create a cohesive and inviting dining environment. The restaurant will occupy over 200 square meters and include a private garden space not previously accessible to the public.

Chef Janek Kilański will lead the kitchen. Kilański brings experience from restaurants in Spain and Denmark and has previously operated his own venue in Gdynia. The team is currently focused on final preparations, including the recruitment and development of staff.

The opening of the restaurant aligns with Hala Koszyki’s strategy of curating high-quality culinary and cultural experiences. The venue, which has hosted a variety of restaurants and events since its reopening, aims to maintain its role as a social and gastronomic hub in Warsaw.

According to Weronika Maria Kuna, Asset Management and Leasing Manager at Globalworth Poland, the addition of Błońska and Czudowski’s new concept confirms the continued appeal of Hala Koszyki as a location for established restaurateurs. She emphasized that the new restaurant will further enhance the hall’s reputation for quality dining and creative culinary projects.
