Polish breaded chicken roulade stuffed with garlic-parsley butter that bursts when cut. The Polish reading of Kiev cutlet, central to socialist-era restaurant menus and Sunday lunch.
Kotlet de volaille entered Polish kitchens through 19th-century French haute cuisine influence at noble courts. The Polish name (literally 'chicken cutlet') stuck while the technique remained the Kiev-style stuffed roulade. Post-1945 socialist Poland made it a permanent fixture on restaurant cards, including at Poznań's Stary Rynek bistros. Ratuszova and Modra Kuchnia plate the canonical version with mashed potato and beetroot salad.
Modra Kuchnia in Jeżyce, Poznań is a small basement room on Mickiewicza, run by Szymon and Dorota, cooking a tight modern Polish menu with a wine pairing.
OrderRoast duck with the modra kapusta that gives the room its name.
TipThere are only a handful of tables; book a week ahead for weekend dinner.
Brovaria on Stary Rynek 73-74 in Poznań is Poland's first brewpub-with-hotel, in business since 2004, with beer brewed in tanks behind the bar and Polish.
OrderBeer-braised pork knuckle with the house pilsner.
TipAsk the barman for a Trzy Szychy tasting flight of all three house beers; it is the best survey of the room in twenty minutes.
Ratuszova on Stary Rynek in Poznań is a modern-Polish room in a historic Stary Rynek 55 tenement, in business since 1954, with roast duck, czernina and game.
