The restaurants worth the trip in Poznań. bistros, neo-classics, neighbourhood favourites, and the rooms locals book first.
Hyćka in Śródka, Poznań cooks the regional Wielkopolska canon: pyry z gzikiem, czernina, szagówki and szare kluchy, with bread baked on the premises.

OrderRoast duck with apples and red cabbage.

OrderWhatever the chef is doing with the day's vegetables; the kitchen leans plant-forward.

OrderA 300g ribeye with the house bone-marrow butter.
TipThe second-floor JARy cocktails come in mason jars; a 'JAR' on the menu is a long drink for two, not a steak.
