Konspira on Wrocław's Plac Solny dresses a solid Polish bistro in 1980s Solidarity-era staging. Pierogi, żurek, schabowy and big plates priced for locals, not the tourist room next door.
Signature dishes: Pierogi, Żurek, Schabowy
Must order: The schabowy (breaded pork chop) with potatoes and cucumber salad.
Tip: Sit upstairs in the recreated 80s apartment for the cinematic effect; the food's the same as the ground floor.
Address: Plac Solny 11, 50-061 Wrocław
