A
Bar Mleczny Pod Barbakanem
This popular milk bar looks as though it hasn’t changed for decades. It serves cheap, unpretentious Polish standards in a location that would be the envy of many upmarket eateries.

Kurt Scheller’s Restaurant
Kurt Scheller’s Restaurant Swiss-born Mr Scheller whips up some of the city’s most sought-after cuisine in this beautiful Art Deco restaurant. The menu is a trip for the tastebuds, swinging from Asian to Polish and back again, but always focusing on ingredients in season. There are also plenty of unusual morsels, such as creamy horseradish soup with veal tongue stripes, but be sure to save a little room for the wonderful desserts. Cooking courses are also offered.

Restauracja Polska
The Polska is a classic old-fashioned Polish restaurant of the type that Polish families favour for special occasions – folksy farmhouse décor, lacy tablecloths, bouquets of flowers everywhere, and smartly dressed, attentive staff. The menu is devoted to hearty home cooking – this is the place to try authentic pierogi (dumplings) , żurek, schab z dzika (roast wild boar with crispy dumplings) and other dania staropolskie (old Polish dishes).

Dom Restauracyjny Gessler
Gessler has a well-founded reputation as the top restaurant on the Old Town’s main square. Its two dining areas are quite distinct – the ground floor is an elegant, formal restaurant, while a rustic country inn fills labyrinthine brick-vaulted cellars below. With this kind of set-up the menu is of course dominated by traditional Polish dishes, ranging from żurek (traditional sour rye soup) to roast venison with cranberries. Reservations recommended.

Fret Á Porter
Choose between the pavement terrace, with views of tree-lined New Town Sq, and the eccentric dining room with its modern art on rag-rolled brick walls and multicoloured napkins clashing with Regency-striped upholstery. The menu also indulges in bold contrasts, ranging from traditional Polish dishes (green lentil soup with mint, roast duck and grilled pork) to exotic offerings such as kangaroo and emu steaks.

Restauracja Pod Samsonem
Situated in the New Town, Pod Samsonem is frequented by locals and tourists looking for inexpensive and tasty Polish food infused with a Jewish flavour – marinated herring, gefilte fish and kawior po żydowsku (‘Jewish caviar’ – chopped chicken liver with garlic). It’s always busy and you may have to wait, especially for the popular outdoor tables.

Deco Kredens
This place flaunts an appealingly over-the-top Art Deco dining room, which looks for all the world like a 1930s bordello (minus the ladies). Fat armchairs tempt you to linger over a menu of Polish and international cuisine – the crispy roast duck, served on a wooden platter with potato pancakes, beetroot and baked apple, is superb.

Qllinarnia
Don’t expect friendly service or a warm welcome at this simple yet colourful milk bar. But do expect fast service, top-rate home-cooked Polish food (including a smattering of European classics, such as lasagne and quiche), and a packed house.
