Most

★ Michelin€€fine_dining

Located to the rear of the Między Mostami restaurant in a riverside property, Most is the team’s smaller, more formal offering specialising in superbly crafted tasting menus. One-word menu descriptions give very little away, with the true creativity and excitement of each course only revealed as it arrives. Well-conceived combinations of top-drawer ingredients result in dishes such as slow-cooked leek with an exceptional sauce of kaffir lime, coconut milk and lemongrass. To complete the experience, go for the passionately curated wine pairing, which features some delicious rarities.

★ Michelin€€fine_dining

Operated by the well-known Chef Beata Śniechowska, this modern bistro is one of those spots where you just know you’re going to have a good time. Closely set tables add to the intimacy and buzz of the atmosphere, while bright and friendly service quickly puts you at ease. The cooking offers reinterpreted versions of classic Polish dishes with brilliant results: the signature 'Our Pierogi' and the well-balanced 'Duck Breast with 5 Polish Flavours' are prime examples. Make sure you enhance the experience by asking the engaging, thoughtful sommelier to match a range of Polish wines to your dishes

Tarasowa

Bib Gourmand€€fine_dining

As enviable locations go, this is certainly up there. The smart brasserie is located inside the impressively domed Centennial Hall and overlooks the Wrocław Multimedia Fountain, where stunning illumination displays take place in the summer. The well-priced menu offers dishes that balance flavours and textures wonderfully, showcasing the technical strength and understanding of the kitchen. Intense mushroom soup with rabbit sausage and smoked sour cream is a prime example. Work up an appetite with a stroll around the nearby park or Japanese gardens.

Bib Gourmand€€fine_dining

The lucky locals have got the perfect neighbourhood spot in this wine bar and bistro, located a little out from the city centre. Its rustic-chic design feels perfectly of the moment, with exposed brickwork and lo-fi furnishings, while the wholesome cooking and interesting wine list are similarly on-trend. Dishes of low-fuss, big-flavour food could include the likes of minced pork cutlet with tarragon or the playful date madeleines with toffee sauce for dessert. The thoughtfully curated, lesser-known wines are the perfect accompaniment.

Bib Gourmand€fine_dining

Situated on the edge of the Old Town, inside the Hotel Jazz, there’s a stylish, faux-industrial quality to this friendly restaurant. Exposed brickwork and concrete flooring combine with pared-back décor and varnished wooden tables for a classic bistro feel. The cooking has a similar ethos of unfussiness, with a welcome lack of over-elaboration in dishes that combine quality ingredients with precise technique – such as the array of dumplings or scorched herring with baked potato. The wine list’s hidden highlights include local Polish riesling.

Arche Klasztor

€€fine_dining

Few restaurants can claim a location quite like Arche Klasztor, which sits within a large red-brick property that has had past lives as a monastery, hospital and school – in fact, one wing is still used as a monastery inhabited by the Franciscan Sisters. History seeps its way into the cooking too, which modernises traditional Polish recipes such as potato pancakes with sour cream. Some of the dishes are even said to be based on the nuns’ original recipes.

Milo

€international

Away from the city centre, Milo has the relaxed, welcoming feel of a neighbourhood bistro that you could come back to again and again. Run by friendly young owners, it’s a simple little spot with a small on-view kitchen, where the team craft largely traditional dishes such as pork schnitzel or chocolate fondant. An occasional creative streak shines through too, as in the unusual combination of ricotta ravioli and roasted white chocolate.

Lwia Brama²

€€polish

There is so much beauty to admire when you visit this restaurant in Ostrów Tumski, Wrocław’s oldest district and without doubt one of its most attractive.

The kitchen does a good job of living up to the setting, with dishes such as precisely made venison pierogi.

Nafta Neo Bistro

€€fine_dining

Dining at this former coffin-making factory in an old industrial district feels like you’ve stumbled upon a secret little hideaway. The atmospheric bistro is spread across two rooms: the first has a red-brick, vintage feel with an open kitchen; the other is a winter garden room with a tree growing out of it and a bohemian atmosphere. In either, you’ll enjoy rustic, full-flavoured dishes with a hint of the Mediterranean. Friendly service helps maintain the relaxed atmosphere.

Non-grill dishes are available too, like bibimbap and bulgogi, while the starters take influences from Japan with tempura and gyozas. Come with friends, order away and you’ll have a brilliant time.

CAMPO Modern Grill

Local produce is often to the fore in dishes that look to the Mediterranean for inspiration, be it bouillabaisse with zander or tiramisu for dessert. The friendly service adds to the appeal.

OKRestauracja

€€€Seafood

Don't be fooled by the name – whilst they undoubtedly have one of the best wine lists in the city, this very much feels like a restaurant. There’s a subtle nautical look to the interiors, chiming with the location overlooking a small marina on the River Oder. The seafood-focused menu has a Mediterranean feel, in dishes like salt-crusted sea bream with a citrus sauce. The in-house wine shop allows you to take home a bottle or two from the globetrotting selection.

The setting is matched by cooking that puts an emphasis on top-quality local meats – for dessert, look out for the chocolate fondant with a fruity punch. Let the knowledgeable staff guide you in picking complementary wines.

Martim

€€fine_dining, portuguese, seafood

Taking full advantage of its location on the banks of the River Oder, Martim’s terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows help make it a lovely setting in which to enjoy the kitchen’s Portuguese-inspired dishes. Seafood plays a big role on the menu, in dishes like the rich, rustic and punchily flavoured cataplana stew. The wine list is exclusively Portuguese, with some fine Vinho Verde and, of course, a selection of top-notch and well-priced ports.

When available, the 'Duende' tasting menu provides the full experience.

Młoda Polska

€€fine_dining

Celebrity chef Beata Śniechowska's restaurant has a full name that translates as ‘Young Polish Bistro & Piano’, which feels like a pretty apt description. It’s run by a young and enthusiastic team, there's an invigorating bistro buzz to the atmosphere and there is indeed background music from the house pianist. The cooking dispenses with fuss and instead focuses on the natural flavours of quality ingredients, such as pure-white cod. A large vodka selection will please connoisseurs.
