Chorizo
quesadillas and beef tacos with habanero chili salsa.
Locally
grown fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Had
we been transported back to hipster Brooklyn or some other NYC neighborhood? Nope, we were still in Warsaw.
On
Saturday, we discovered a new open-air farmer’s market cum food truck center in
Warsaw’s neighborhood of Zoliborz, just a 10-minute bike ride from our
apartment. This market, called TargŚniadaniowy (Breakfast Market), is open every Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. until
September 14. Only three more weekends to go!
We
were surprised to stumble across this market thanks to my daily Warsaw
Foodie emails; and, I was in foodie heaven!
We
did a quick walk-through to see what food options were available. Ethiopian
food, tacos, pierogies, Polish fruit crepes, grilled chicken, roast beef
sandwiches, pastries galore and homemade popsicles were some of the options. We
selected the Jakie Taco?! food truck at
the end of the market for our late-morning breakfast. For dessert later, I had
a homemade raspberry and yogurt popsicle.

This
market definitely catered to the young 20 and 30-something crowd and was family
friendly. Toddlers were rolling about on picnic blankets or being pushed in
strollers everywhere. I also heard more English spoken here by other foreigners
than I have in any other place.
Only
two stalls sold fresh fruit and vegetables, but that was all I really needed.
We also snagged some fresh ricotta cheese and a jar of those aforementioned
goat cheese balls from a local cheesemaker.
With
Targ Śniadaniowy being
so close to where we live, you can bet that will be back in the upcoming
Saturdays!

How to get there:
The market is located
in the park at the end of Aleja Wojska
Polskiego. I would recommend walking or riding bikes as parking is
limited. There also are several tram stops in the area.

Surprisingly, this looks very much like our farmer's markets in Oregon! complete with locally made sausage. I love the international flavor to your market. The more I travel, the more I realize that we are really just one big global village.
Although we have great markets here in Provence this one almost makes me jealous - wish we had foodtrucks here too!
@Mary B., how funny! I'm still really surprised by how international Warsaw seems compared to Istanbul!
@Barbara, I'd love to visit your markets in Provence! The food trucks seem to be quite the popular fad here in Warsaw! :-)

. . what a splendid place to wander, nibble, look and listen. very colourful!
@Joyce, yes, as a fellow foodie, you would definitely love the market!
@Alan, Indeed! Too bad I don't have a bigger stomach. ;-)
Love all the buzz, colors and the food, enjoy!
