豪华酒店 Bacero Wrocław

Its name translates as ‘Lips Lips’ and you will certainly be licking yours at this loveable little spot nestled, like many Wrocław restaurants, beneath a railway arch. It’s a bustling space, with the efficient team serving a steady stream of walk-in-only tables. The cooking draws on influences from Poland and beyond, in dishes that are straightforward and robustly flavoured – such as beef broth with pork dumplings. For something simpler, they have a selection of gourmet sandwiches.

For a taste of modern-day Poland, this buzzing bar and bistro ticks all the boxes. Tucked beneath a railway arch, it’s a relaxed, tightly packed spot humming with energy while the trains rumble overhead. Choose from a selection of brightly flavoured small plates that are mightily generous in size, from locally made black pudding to the popular ‘chunks of bread’. Adding to the appeal are the efficient service and wallet-friendly wines by the carafe or litre.

This younger sister to Mercado Tapas Bistro sits underneath the next railway arch and is a smaller, more intimate space, boasting closely set tables and the chatter of diners blending into the rumble of trains overhead. Like its sibling, the menu has a Spanish heart but this time mixes in more globally minded small plates, such as pork ribs with miso glaze or the standout ricotta agnolotti. Spanish wines are to the fore and the service team run things smoothly.

This tapas bar under a red-brick railway arch brings a little slice of Spain to Lower Silesia. It’s got all the ingredients of a good night out, from the buzz of happy diners to a drinks list including Spanish wines, sherry and sangria. The cooking marries tapas staples, like croquetas and pan con tomate, with a ‘Something Different’ section incorporating well-judged international tweaks. The Basque cheesecake will provide a fitting finale to a terrific all-round experience.
