Formerly Café Goldwasser, this gem can often be missed by passers-by. Walk past the narrow room selling pralines and gift sets, and duck upstairs to find a posh cafe space primed for an afternoon sit-down. Choose from great snack options, including a tasty gulaszowa. Very nice indeed, though the primary reason for visiting is the small list of old local liqueurs, the recipes for which were painstakingly researched and recreated by the owner, as well as some great wine including the house fave: Grauer Burgunder Blanc. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, clearly an avid IYP reader, chose Plotkin Bistro to spend a relaxing time discussing business with the then-Polish President Bronisław Komorowski on a visit to the city.
