After we'd been touting this place for years, they garnered Kraków's first and only Michelin star in 2020, and then again in 2023. Thus, Bottiglieria 1881 is the only restaurant in Poland with two Michelin stars. Congrats!

Discreetly hidden on a side street off Plac Wolnica, this intimate restaurant exudes class and taste with a sharp decór of fine stonework and aged rough-hewn timber, an open kitchen, superior service, chef's tables and a private dining room in the expertly stocked wine cellar (which boasts over 500 vintages!). Specialising in modern Polish cuisine, Bottiglieria's team of top chefs regularly change the character of the tasting menu (choose between 5 or 7 courses) depending on what's in season, and the sommelier perfectly complements each mouth-watering dish. A great place for business or courtship, Bottiglieria has won awards from not only Michelin, but also Wine Spectator magazine and Star Wine List. Hardly a surprise, since there are embarrassingly few venues in Kraków as beautifully elegant and unique as this one.
