Meriting a trip just to gaze at this gorgeous survivor of unique water tower architecture, the ground floor bistro extends an affordable invitation to step inside for delicious coffee, cakes and ice cream, or choose from their buffet of ready entrees. The layout (with the queue starting at the opposite end from the entrance) and system are admittedly confusing - plates are priced by the item, not weight, so exercise self-control while selecting - but the traditional meat and potatoes dishes are satisfying, the desserts to die for, and there's a bargain salad bar for those that don't eat from the barnyard. From 08:00-12:00 it's breakfast, while after 18:30 enjoy the buffet at half-price. On the upper floors you'll find a more upscale restaurant (see International) and a terrace bar in warm months. You can get there easy via buses 144, 127 or 136; or cough up 15zł for the cab fare.
