A city institution since 1821
Lourse was founded in 1821 by Swiss confectioner Laurent Lourse. Modelled after Parisian patisseries, Lourse was soon the talk of Warsaw, its delicious gourmet ice cream and chocolate desserts attracting the likes of Fryderyk Chopin as well as notables from legal, scientific, literary and journalistic circles. And Lourse had another attraction: the patisserie was among the first in Warsaw to install gas lighting which, as women quickly discovered, was particularly flattering to the complexion.
Signature Cake
Lourse Warszawa’s Signature Cake is a sophisticated masterpiece, crafted with a delicate gluten-free chocolate sponge, complemented by the finest toasted nuts and our house-made plum jam. This elegant creation embodies the essence of Polish culinary heritage, offering a refined, timeless indulgence for the discerning palate.
Afternoon Tea
A refined ritual of celebration in the most elegant setting. Delicate pastries by the master confectioners at Lourse, carefully selected teas, and artfully curated savoury bites create an unforgettable experience, combining craftsmanship and exceptional quality in every moment.
