PAPà GIUSEPPE TRATTORIA

Trattoria Papà Giuseppe has a name which describes itself quite effectively indeed! This is excellent Italian fare in a family style setting, reminiscent of eateries that have come to define hearty meals with a hearty time. This trattoria imparts a Mediterranean atmosphere as well, making it evident that its scope is not just pizza and pasta but a wider offering that even includes menu selections outside the definition or purview of traditional Italian or even broader Mediterranean cuisine. Papà Giuseppe is in fact an ideal equation for a “comfort” place where the purpose is culinary satisfaction for different taste preferences that typically exist amongst a group of friends or family; in cosmopolitan Wroclaw this happens nearly all of the time. Great conversations over a great meal happen here, so Papà wants you to come and have a good time!

MOSAIQ RESTAURANT

Just steps from the Main Square a modern culinary colossus has taken shape in the form of Mosaiq. This cosmopolitan restaurant has been born of the intense desire and culinary knowledge to be the finest restaurant in the vein of classic French with Italian and Polish accents. Chef Rafael Boris has learned his craft under culinary giants such as Gordon Ramsey and the legendary Albert Roux, the holder of three Michelin stars. The overarching emphasis is thus on quality of ingredients; organic produce from the region is preferred, the seafood is flown in from France, and the meats come from small farms. All of this impresses the palate with dishes such as the loin of lamb with ratatouille; foie gras with passion fruit jam; and the sautéed ray-fish with capers, beurre noisette, spinach and potato puree. Indeed, this is the culinary wonder one may seek in the heart of Wroclaw!
