Rozana

Set in an opulent house, this feels more like a wealthy person’s home pre-World War II than a restaurant. This is a place to steel in for a long, slow lunch, and there is a stunning garden with tables to sit at in summer, and a fountain.

Hala Koszyki:

The only one of its kind in Poland, Koszyki is a three storey market hall with international food stalls, bars, grocery stores and shops. It fills up and out throughout the day as locals drop in for lunch,  and dinner. Casual, local and full of fun- this is worth checking out.
