Top choice in Poznań
This sleek eatery with exposed girders above concrete floors is a top spot for breakfast (served to noon weekdays, 1pm weekends). Choices include a full English (sausage, bacon, eggs and beans) and trad Polish (fried eggs with tomato, cucumber and chives). Later on there's a menu featuring steaks and burgers, as well as a decent wine list.
A historical footnote: interwar German president Paul von Hindenburg was born in this building in 1847.
