Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Polish breaded pork cutlet, hand-pounded thin and shallow-fried in lard, the canonical Polish lunch across milk bars and bistros. Served with mashed potato, cucumber-and-dill salad and a wedge of lemon.
Kotlet schabowy is Poland's national plate, the descendant of the Austrian Wienerschnitzel adapted to pork and bigger portions in the 19th century. Under communism it became the Sunday lunch across Polish households; today every milk bar in Wrocław runs a schabowy plate at around 15-25 zł. Wrocław's higher-end versions appear at Młoda Polska on Plac Solny.
