ul. Monopolowa 4g

tel. (+48) 71 347 42 08

Open 11:00-23:00
This small, popular self-service Polish eatery, across from the ul. Jatka gallery stalls, achieves the trick of appearing like a rustic village cottage if you don't notice the ceiling ductwork. Enhancing the illusion is the genuine Bolesławiec folkware on the tables (begging to leap into s [...]

Open 10:00-23:00,
Sat 12:00-23:00,
Sun 12:00-23:00.
Decorated with stuffed falcons and enough medieval armour and weaponry to start a national museum this is a suitably upmarket old town feed. The menu focuses on boar, deer, pigs and ducks, all carved up with pewter cutlery. If you’re a vegetarian, run. [...]

Rynek 5

tel. (+48) 71 372 48 96

Open 11:00-24:00
A traditional restaurant featuring plenty of high backed chairs, halberds, copper pans and 80s hits. The menu is standard medieval fare, with dishes like ‘duck in King August II sauce’ arriving on big wooden boards. It looks decent enough, the problem here is the food just isn’t very good. The chef clearly doesn’t like to cook very much, evidence provided by the bleeding mass that purports to be a steak – it’ll take five minutes to exit your system, though a lot longer to leave the memory.

Open 12:00-24:00
Yeurgh, the green and yellow facade is enough to make you think twice about entering. If you pluck up the courage then you're in for more of the same inside: garish colours, unhealthy looking plants and net curtains stained with last year's smoke. The Polish and German menu offers good-value feasti [...]

Pl. Bema 2

Open 12:00-23:00
JaDka
Faultless modern and traditional Polish cuisine with a Lithuanian influence served inside an ornate, imperial backdrop featuring vaulted brick ceilings, timber and starched linen. The concise menu won't bowl you over, but the class and quality will. Choose from catfish in leek mousse with spinach (58zł), potato pancakes with smoked salmon tartar (46zł) or sieze the moment by ordering wild boar. Expect an expansive wine list, professional service and an all round commitment to excellence. One of the few world class dining options in the city. [...]

tel. (+48) 71 343 64 61

Open 12:00-23:00,
Sun 13:00-23:00.
A mish-mash of dark forbidding woods, coloured tablecloths and assorted rustic trappings that compliment the heaping portions of farm food and beer served in ceramic mugs. The sepia photos you see on the walls are of Wrocław’s historical sister city, Lviv. [...]

Rynek 4

tel. (+48) 71 343 98 87

Open 11:00-23:00
This place takes the standard traditional theme to higher level. Great riverside views, and an English/German menu complement the fast service and gut-busting portions. Whereas bratwurst in beer (16zł) may not seem like the most ambitious choice, it played its part in what was an enjoyable [...]

Wyspa Słodowa 10 (Tumski Hotel)

tel. (+48) 71 322 60 77

Open 13:00-23:00,
Sun 12:00-23:00.
Part of the network of rooms found on the ground floor of Dwór Polski. Expect chunky peasant furnishings of colourful carvings and piles of firewood, and similarly robust meals. The service is gloomy, but the pork chops and pigs trotters make for a super feast. The courtyard would be excellent [...]

ul. Kiełbaśnicza 6

tel. (+48) 71 372 48 96

Open 11:00-23:00
Ghastly yellow windows hide one of the top budget choices you’ll stumble across. Feast on platters of uncomplicated Polish delicacies inside a chalet-like, pub atmosphere. The prices are rock bottom, and the food is the sort of culinary genius that only a grandmother could perfect, so be prepared to wait around for a spare table. [...]

Multifood STP
A large self-service canteen whose counters come manned with cheerful red clad staff touting sun visors and t-shirts. The dining hall is largely anonymous, but the food – plates of meat and veg – has already won a loyal following. Everything is priced at 28,50zł per kilo, with your bill worked out once you reach the end of the queue. Additional locations in Magnolia Park (ul. Legnicka 58) and Marino shopping centre (ul. Paprotna 7). [...]

ul. Kuźnicza 10

tel. (+48) 71 344 54 49

Open 10:00-21:00
Pub, restaurant and historic experience all rolled into one. This is likely the oldest beer cellar in Europe, dating back some 700 years and named after the Świdnickie beer brewed in the basement back in the day. If the weather is with you then take to the outdoor terrace to enjoy pub grub served under the gaze of a stone carving depicting a drunken husband receiving a scolding from his shoe-throwing wife. Or descend downstairs into their vast labyrinth of vaulted rooms, where bow-tied waiters produce all the classics of the Polish kitchen, and the recent addition of the 'Peasant Room' means plebs can get fed until 02:00.

Rynek-Ratusz 1

tel. (+48) 71 369 95 10

Open 12:00-23:00
On the ground floor of this 14th century townhouse roosts an artsy, elegant stained wood cafe well-suited for a glass of wine and a cloudy conversation. But should your stomach lead you towards their well-regarded restaurant and you'll descend two disorienting levels below ground to an awkward labyrinthe of ancient, sprawling cellars. Unfortunately the ambiance of this fascinating space is a bit put off by an overabundance of random art on the walls and cheesy jazz and r'n'b music. The food, however, is nothing to poke at, with pork, duck and veal dominating the menu. The arrival of our fried camembert salad beneath a silver serving canopy only seemed silly until we tasted it - somebody take a bow...

An upscale grill pub with hunting lodge décor (dark wood, bear skins and animal heads nailed to plinths), and portions so large you won’t need to eat the next day. Lamb, venison, steak and fish are charcoal grilled and garnished with high-end fixings like pear, peach and vodka. Enthusias [...]

The return of this historical building and its restaurant to Wrocław's culinary scene is surely something to be celebrated, particularly under the savvy stewardship of Likus. Known under communism as the most exclusive restaurant in Wrocław, with queues stretching outside the [...]

Restauracja Teatralna
Down the rabbithole you go into the absurd world beneath Teatr Lalek where upside-down storefronts line the walls and stuffed cats dine on the ceiling. Kids will love the puppets, stage props and peculiarities of the play area, and even get their own dining tables with surprises lurking beneath the [...]

Open 12:00-22:00
Oompah-pah decorations, golden typewriters on the wall and waitresses sleeping on the tables mark this amusing little anomaly as one of the Old Town's more interesting restaurants. Geared towards German tourists, the menu features a range of surprisingly good dishes including a clear, peppery beetroot soup, Silesian sausages and old Polish tripe. Avoid if you're in a hurry or were on the winning side of WWII. [...]
