We invite you on a culinary journey through the most intriguing establishments serving oriental delicacies. All the places we recommend are located in the city center, within walking distance of the Old Market, making them ideal for a weekend trip on the trail of Asian flavors.

Classics of Chinese cuisine in the heart of Poznan

Our culinary journey begins with Peking Restaurant at 29/33 23 Lutego Street, just a 10-minute walk from the Old Market. This is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the city, operating continuously for years. The restaurant is famous for its traditional Chinese dishes, including the highly recommended chicken in batter with peppers and garlic in sweet and spicy sauce. The interior of the restaurant is decorated in classic Chinese style, which further emphasizes the authenticity of the food served. Next, take a walk through the streets of the old city to Sajgonki Asian Restaurant at Ratajczaka 25/3. This place delights not only with fresh spring rolls, but also with original flavor compositions combining tradition with modernity. We especially recommend the 'sajgonki experience' set, which allows you to try different variations of this popular dish. The owners take care of the highest quality ingredients, and the restaurant itself has a cozy, modern decor. Both establishments are easiest to reach by streetcar - the nearest stops are at Wielkopolska Square and Św. Marcin Street. It's worth remembering to book a table in advance, especially on a weekend evening.

Thai flavors and street food

The next stop on our route is Why Thai Food&Wine at 7 Kramarska St. It's a place that takes us straight to the streets of Bangkok. The restaurant specializes in authentic curries and pad thai, which many guests say is the best in the city. The restaurant offers different levels of spiciness of the dishes, allowing you to customize the dishes to your individual preferences. The interior is decorated in a modern but cozy style, with subtle touches of Thai culture. For those looking for a more street-food vibe, we recommend NOODLE STREET - THAI STREET FOOD at Ratajczak 33. The restaurant specializes in Thai noodles and soups, and all dishes are prepared in front of guests' eyes in an open kitchen. The menu is short but thoughtful, and each dish has its own distinct character. We particularly recommend the different variations of Tom Yum soup and the noodles with fresh shrimp. Both establishments are located in the city center, within a few minutes' walk of each other. It's a perfect option for lunch while exploring the city or for an evening dinner.

Japanese ramen and fusion of flavors

To conclude our culinary journey, visit Yetztu Poznan Ramen Noodles on Krysiewicza Street 6. This is a place for true lovers of Japanese cuisine, specializing in authentic ramen. The restaurant offers several types of broth and a choice of noodle thickness, allowing you to tailor the dish to your preferences. We especially recommend the ramen with thick-cut noodles and creamy tonkotsu broth. The interior is small but cozy, and Japanese music can often be heard in the background, adding to the atmosphere. The restaurant is easiest to reach by walking from Liberty Square - it's just a five-minute walk. A garden is also available in the summer. It's worth remembering that during peak hours (especially on weekends) it can be a problem to find a free table, so it's a good idea to make an advance reservation. All the described establishments accept card payments and offer vegetarian dish options. In most of them you can also order take-out dishes. Prices at the described restaurants are moderate, and portions are usually very satisfying. This is an ideal choice for a weekend getaway to Poznan for all lovers of Asian flavors.
