Beata Śniechowska's Młoda Polska on Plac Solny in Wrocław. A bistro and bar with a live pianist most evenings and a kitchen rooted in Polish comfort food, plates reworked.

Must order: The leek croquette to start, the pork chop with potato puree to follow.
Tip: If Saturday dinner is booked, the Sunday brunch service is the same kitchen at a fifth less per head.
Address: plac Solny 4, 50-060 Wrocław

Order: Rolada śląska with kluski śląskie and modra kapusta, the canonical Silesian Sunday plate.

Signature: Pierogi, Żurek, Bigos
Order: The pierogi sampler with sour cream and the żurek served in a bread bowl.
Tip: Ask to see the hidden 1980s apartment behind the wardrobe; it doubles as a quieter dining alcove on busy nights.
