Pierożak

Top choice in Poznań


Walking into this small pierogi eatery is like stepping into a Polish home kitchen, with a few tables out the back and several women up front preparing the pierogi fresh before your eyes. These Polish dumplings are sold eat-in and takeaway in traditional, deluxe and sweet versions, with numerous vegetarian options such as cottage cheese and berry.

There's also a larger Pierożak branch in the centre, popular with families for its more spacious set up.
