Its name may suggest Italian cuisine lies in wait, but Acanti in fact offers a refined fusion of modern Polish dishes with influences from across Europe. Italy does make an appearance however, in dishes like the terrific pumpkin ravioli, which exemplifies the kitchen’s ability to delicately balance layers of flavour. Everything takes place in a bright ground-floor dining room and a more seductive, dark-hued basement, both within the Aparthotel T12, a beautiful converted old tenement. The friendly young team adds to the experience.
WebsiteThe Grand Hotel has been hosting visitors to Łódź for over 130 years and its former ballroom is now home to this delightful restaurant. Fusing old-world charm with a striking contemporary interior, it has an elegant, restful vibe and is run with a smile by the welcoming team. The menu is full of bright, fresh and well-crafted dishes, such as the homemade linguine with a rich bisque and plenty of crab meat, and the classic rum baba with a well-judged punch.
WebsiteSet in the striking regenerated Geyer Gardens district, this former factory has retained an on-trend industrial edge to its interiors, with the exposed red-brick walls and open kitchen catching the eye. Steaks are at the heart of the menu, cooked over charcoal either on or off the bone and served with a choice of sauces. The quality of the dry-aged meat provides plenty of flavour, with some wagyu options available if you’re looking to celebrate in style.
