U Babci Maliny

  ul. Szpitalna 38 ,   Old Town          (+48) 12 421 48 18     14 Oct 2024

Good quality Polish home-style cooking at surprisingly low prices allow you to eat very well without breaking the bank at this veteran Old Town restaurant. Feast on a long list of soups, pierogi, cutlets and arguably the house specialty - potato pancakes covered in goulash (placki po węgiersku). A good introduction to the national cuisine, it's all delicious and done the way a Polish grandmother would – hence the name (At Granny Raspberry’s). While the downstairs goes for a country cottage aesthetic, the ground floor looks like Granny also oversaw the somewhat outdated design, which aims for interwar elegance, but lands closer to theatrical ostentation. At any rate, this building actually achieved a high level of notoriety during World War II, when it was a popular Nazi hangout known as 'Cyganeria Cafe.' In one of the most audacious (and successful) acts of Jewish resistance during the war, a bomb was planted here by the Jewish underground on Christmas Eve, 1942, resulting in the deaths of 11 Nazi soldiers; a plaque of the facade commemorates the events.

Find another U Babci Maliny location  - with a different interior, but the same menu - at ul. Sławkowska 19.
