We are talking more than just pierogi (even if they’re absolutely brilliant). We are looking at some proper innovation, some truly surprising tastes and a food scene that will, I mean, pretty much have you booking a return trip, very soon.

1. Restauracja Figa: Where Polish Tradition Meets Modern Flair
Restauracja Figa, in a way, it is almost like a breath of fresh air that you did not see coming. This location provides an incredible twist, a clever spin on your grandmother’s recipes, too it’s almost a guarantee you will fall in love at first sight. It is not some kind of stuffy, old-fashioned joint; rather, it’s, I mean, it is actually hip, is that right? This is also quite a place where you can get a true feel for modern Polish culture without trying very hard at all. The ambiance is super cozy, a little relaxed, a little warm; and the staff make you feel welcome the minute you come through the door, which is, well, like, pretty brilliant.
Let’s get to the food, actually, I am getting distracted here, you know? Very often they will have, actually, amazing seasonal ingredients featured. Expect visually attractive plates with stuff sourced locally, in some respects even grown nearby. Dishes might include things you wouldn’t expect, such as wild boar, creative uses of forest mushrooms, and things preserved by pickling in different brines (delicious!). Their tasting menu provides a good range, a proper, good taste for both Polish and international visitors to see what the place has to bring. It will probably have you purring.
Don’t skip dessert, alright? They make an incredible cheesecake and they do offer different cakes based on the month and the seasons, by the way, I am thinking the chocolate one might be quite special. Is wine your poison? They also have, honestly, I have to say, very often they have a spectacular wine list, very, very good bottles from all over. Oh, and, of course, I had nearly forgotten the other little tipple to try, Polish vodka, which, clearly, alright, there will almost always be quite a range to enjoy there. Very definitely add this one to the itinerary.

2. Brovaria: Poznan’s Own Brewpub
Do you, like your beer with a side of historical ambiance, in a way? Well, look no further, that! Brovaria offers three floors with food, hotel and, best of all, their own microbrewery in house! This place has lots of old town character and quite the selection of beverages on tap. Plus a full food menu, which may appeal.
The beer selection rotates pretty often, in short? They’ll feature different beers such as a standard lager, a wheat beer, and definitely also darker brews. I actually was there in the winter once and had an amazing stout, that, very often, the barman will actually describe the day’s different options with aplomb and enthusiasm, seriously impressive, I reckon! Brovaria is definitely, absolutely, utterly ideal to sample proper Polish beers (and see how they do things) if you aren’t a beer expert.
Pair it with food if you, like, fancy a snack, I mean? It turns out that Brovaria does great hearty Polish food alongside international plates like pizzas and, naturally, burgers. This is somewhere I’d describe as something for pretty much everyone to love, you understand, anyway. It can actually be seriously busy during tourist season, too it’s almost advisable to reserve a table if you are going to eat, I should think!

3. Piano Rouge: Taste the City’s Nightlife
Ready to amp up the experience a bit, alright? Then go try out Piano Rouge, by the way! So they combine cocktails with shows in a venue that would be quite happy in, I mean, nearly any European city. Expect to dance a little, to people watch, to mingle and seriously just have a thoroughly superb evening!
Piano Rouge’s cocktails are quite the art form. That is some skilled pouring going on in this part of town, as a matter of fact. Try one of their signature mixes with a bunch of Polish vodka to provide, I mean, some kick, you know, by the way, that they may very well even be something fruit-based which will definitely mean, that! As the night evolves, the Piano Rouge tends to be, like your destination. So stay as long as you like.
Themed evenings tend to be something of a regular thing; they are good at really attracting attention, they have great advertising. Piano Rouge is good if, literally, you like, you appreciate glamour; a location to dress up, and let that hair down and celebrate being out in town for an evening, pretty much. I like the ambiance a lot, it is, basically, fun all the way.

4. Weranda Caffe: Charming Cafes with Garden Ambience
In search of some spot, too it’s almost something quiet for relaxation with food, alright? Do you need an amazing slice of cake to cheer that soul, might be? Then you should make a call to the various sites across town belonging to Weranda Caffe. Every site has different qualities, very, very good feels, very often full of charm, I think.
Their cakes, actually, their cakes are gorgeous; like, literally works of art that taste seriously divine! Add coffee to that cake, well that gets close to, you understand, something nearly perfection-like! The different cafes themselves, that, well, nearly all provide different feels; very probably there may very well be a garden, might be, very probably inside and very possibly the decoration may well raise eyebrows for all of the right reasons!
Weranda provides that quiet moment that really we all deserve to appreciate, is that right? And to think of things that genuinely are amazing, pretty much. They can be useful if you need a breakfast stop, also that will be delicious, but to see all cakes together in one glass case provides temptation! You can also always order a proper glass of wine there if coffee fails you… Never known it to happen though.

5. Food Truck Parks: Casual Street Food Fun
You got a casual taste for cuisine on wheels, naturally? This option can seriously have you sorted and make a very fun adventure for dinner for, I mean, that particular reason! Poznan’s food truck parks is where loads of local vendors tend to be something of a permanent fixture. I would strongly urge you to check them out! You’ll very probably have anything ranging, I should think, pretty much ranging from classic burgers through to those wonderful pierogi. Also things international such as, I reckon, your kebabs and your tacos, arguably, too, which does very definitely add variety. What might not there to love? Food trucks do offer variety!
You should check opening hours carefully! Food trucks aren’t really likely to open too early in the mornings but be, obviously, fully firing by lunchtime. They are typically family friendly destinations to head to; by the way they tend to be more outdoors; but will probably actually feature heating in some shape or form, and shelter, might be.
If you might be someone who appreciates, that, different food, might be; at reasonable value for money, naturally; who likes sitting somewhere relatively social, is that right? Well, give food trucks a look and make, of course, that evening one to be appreciated and thought fondly upon! I do recommend them.
