Perhaps Katowice's best restaurant, Tatiana takes Polish food, particularly that of Silesia, and elevates it without uprooting it. Expect mains such as saddle of venison in burnt hay with barley-and-mushroom stuffed cabbage rolls and smoked plum mousse, and top-notch levels of food and wine service. Book ahead to be sure of a dinner-time table.
