Katowice | Restaurants & Cafes | International

Set inside a glass-roofed red brick atrium in the Music Academy this is a cracking venue in which to enjoy the finer side of life. The cooking is modern international, and the menu features corkers like tuna steak with wasabi sauce and ravioli stuffed with salmon. If you’re with company [...]

Dining in a shopping mall usually consists of being queue barged by tracksuited teens ordering burgers and putting the finishing touches to their acne, so the opening of Bierhalle is quite a bonus for all who find themselves exploring the guts of the Silesia City shopping mall. The best beer in Kat [...]

Not a round table in sight, but there is a slight knights-in-armour theme in this two-floor restaurant that can also be used as a place to drink decent coffee during the day. The menu features an interesting collection of dishes including lasagne, burritos and steak fillets. [...]

A bizarre offering just east of the music academy, the menu reads like gibberish (boil pettitoes?) and rumours have it that it doesn't taste a whole lot better. Our advice is stick to the szopska salad and pork dishes and find a table upstairs on the balcony among the millions of spindly plants. An experience rather than a restaurant, drop by to soak up the peculiar atmosphere rather than the calories. [...]

An industrial-look restaurant pandering to the local lunch crowd with a fancy raised seating area and a posh corner with a big floppy sofa. There's no English menu but if you pick the right day you should find a waiter capable of taking you through it. Once again there's a nice Polish [...]

Patio – or Atio if the first letter isn’t illuminated from the outside – now have an English menu, and better still, a chef more committed to the kitchen than the sot of our previous visit. We were served Katowice’s best steak here, and the prices weren’t too bad eithe [...]

If there were such a thing as the beaten path in Katowice, Stek House would certainly be off it, but it's worth seeking out if you're feeling particularly rapacious. With a variety of choice cuts for carnivors, including grilled salmon steak (32zł), steak with gorgonzola sauce (44zł) and steak with feta cheese and garlic butter, the soups are also delicious, highlighted by the goulash and creme of brocolli with smoked salmon and roasted almonds. Though there's no English menu, the staff are happy to help translate. The intimate courtyard in front of this ivy-covered building is a delightful spot to dig in and drink the German beer on tap (Tucher).

Eatery and bar found in a park side setting; looked great in summer, not so much with Katowice already in its apocalyptic autumn. Inside, everything you need to forget the horror outside; bright avocado colours, a bar that looks like a piano keyboard and an accomplished menu featuring tiger prawns, [...]
