The best restaurants Lublin

Mandragora is one of the city's institutions. Housed in a historic building overlooking the Rynek, this restaurant has three small rooms that are very much invested with the memory and nostalgia of the Polish Jewish community that once lived on the adjacent block. The theme of Jewish culture is reflected in the high quality kosher cuisine and the live Jewish music events. CDs of traditional Jewish music are available for purchase. An excellent address.

In the heart of the old town, U fotografa is a microbrewery that is unanimously acclaimed in the city and should not be missed under any circumstances. Its charming interior, with old photos hanging on the walls, old photo cameras and movie cameras create an enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of the black and white movie era. The kitchens serve superb Polish food, while in the dining room there is live music, an excellent choice of craft beers and a young and smiling service that explains why the place is always full.

A large, trendy American-style room in a post-industrial cellar with brick walls, wooden floors and spotlights on every table. A large bar takes up part of the interior, and as the evening progresses, the place fills up with young drinkers. The restaurant's atmosphere is definitely party-oriented. In terms of cuisine, it serves meat (of good quality) and burgers (a little too heavy and average for the price). It remains one of the city's great restaurants, and the atmosphere is pleasant.
