What to eat in Wrocław
A zapiekanka from a kiosk at noon, a set lunch, an evening that can go meat-free. Three meals that cover a day in Wrocław.
- Zapiekanka
- €5.71
- Lunch
- A set menu, €5.48–6.39
- Beer
- €3.42 with a zapiekanka
You can eat in Wrocław fast and cheap, or slower at a table. A zapiekanka from a kiosk is the quick bite, a set lunch is the sit-down meal, and the evening can end meat-free too, at Vega Bar.
Street food for noon
Zapiekanka is a long roll split and baked with a topping, in its basic form tomato sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella and gouda. Kiosks around the centre fry it on the spot and hand it over in foil, for eating on the move. The classic version is €5.71.
A meal for €5.48–6.39
Unlike a zapiekanka eaten on the move, a set lunch is eaten at a table. At noon, restaurants across the city offer two courses for one price — a cheap way to get a hot meal. This kind of cheap daily set meal is also known as a jadłodajnia or bar mleczny, and it's found all over the city, not just downtown.
A meat-free evening
When you want an evening without meat, the vegan restaurant offers a potato pancake with tofu goulash (€9.36) or corn-breaded oyster mushrooms with fries (€8.67). Either portion is enough for the evening without a starter on top.
Kiosk or table
With a zapiekanka, a 0.5-litre beer is €3.42. At a restaurant table, including Vega Bar, budget €3.57.
