BioBazar

A huge farmers market that sells only certified fruit, veggies, cheese and meat, cosmetics, whatever.

I have not spent much time there, but I have seen it is very affordable and if you live in Warsaw, you can feel lucky for having this market.

BioBazar is a very particular market, which you should take some time to explore. It opens every Wednesday and Saturday (and recently started opening Fridays late afternoon too).

Apart from the obvious choice of great organic and seasonal fruit and veggies, there are several stalls selling vegan and gluten free bread, sweet and savoury pastries, cakes, soups, pâtés, etc.

Every Wednesday in Hala 1, before the Portuguese stall, there's a Polish couple who prepares the most delicious vegan pâtés (made with chickpeas, lentils or beans) and amazing pastries, made with whole-wheat, spelt or millet flour, filled with either lentils, chickpeas, cabbage, onion or blueberries (among others).

Each ingredient used is marked, so you can check what is vegan or not (some pastries have butter, cheese or cream) but they understand vegan and will tell you which products are vegan.


In the white small Hala, there are also a few stalls selling vegan items. My favourite is only present on Saturdays, immediately when you enter, to your right, before the baklava stall.

They sell delicious gluten-free bread made with buckwheat, chickpea flour, amaranth etc and also delicious vegan brownies and doughnuts.


Throughout the different Halas there are also a few stalls selling tofu, vegan toiletries, cleaning products, etc.

There's a bigger choice on Saturday as more sellers are present, but Wednesday offers a mroe relaxing experience, especially if you can sit in the sun enjoying the lovely goodies.

I absolutely love the BioBazar. When I'm in Warsaw I go almost every saturday, usually walking there from my house an hour away, it's a wonderful way to spend the day. Despite the odd opening hours it's always a delight to visit and full of life. Did I mention it's in an old factory? Very cool! My favorite spots are the juice bar in side the tent and building #3. There's even a vegan ice cream stand when the weather permits, everything is organic of course and you could easily find full meals (although not necessarily vegan). They sell raw vegan cakes though too, in the tent!

A nice farmers' market with a rustic atmosphere.
Many of the people sell fruit and vegetables they have grown themselves.
Good prices and lots of choices for organic products.
Wide variety of typically vegan products (dairy milk, tofu, veggie pates, etc.)
