Srodka kitchen on Rynek Srodecki since 2014 from Sadowski couple; Wielkopolska classics: czernina, szare kluchy, namesake elderflower cordial.
Why locals goOn the Śródka side of the river, this Wielkopolska room is the city's most local regional kitchen but tourists rarely cross from Stary Rynek to find it.
TipBook by phone a day ahead and ask for the small room upstairs.
New-Polish kitchen on Ostrowek near the cathedral; once Poland's smallest room with three tables, grey dumplings, house sausages, slam-cuisine fun.
Why locals goOne of the country's smallest serious tasting rooms sits on a quiet Śródka side street with no real signage; the room finds you only if you went looking.

Mickiewicza wine bistronomie, 200 natural labels mostly French; Chef Krzysztof Lapawa, Cordon Bleu trained, seasonal Polish-French Wednesday to Saturday.
Why locals goOpen four evenings a week with no street-level sign, this Jeżyce natural-wine room is the city's best French bistronomie for those who know about it.
TipBook a counter seat over a table; the wine staff walk you through the night's open bottles one pour at a time.
Srodka social-cooperative kitchen on ulica Srodka, slow-food Polish plates around the common table with organic produce from Barka's Chudobczyce farm.
