A crowd of international guests turned up last Thursday for a birthday party of Warsaw’s first real stand-up bar Slony.

Created one year ago by the famous Polish restaurateur and TV celebrity Magda Gessler, Slony is a place where one can come for delicious snacks and wine and socialize with the people standing by.

Słony’s speciality are “sznytki” – square canapes of wholegrain bread covered with pastes and spreads made from a combination of exquisite ingredients.
