Republika Róż by Andrzej Gołąbek — Restaurant in Poznan

Summary: We’ll definitely be returning if we find ourselves back in Poznań again!

Republika Róż by Andrzej Gołąbek absolutely blew us away. My husband and I were visiting Poznań from Berlin for a long weekend, and this spot became one of the highlights of our trip.

We started by sharing "Pyra z gzikiem". It was a fresh twist on a Polish classic. For our mains, we tried the "Kaczka szarpana" (we love duck, and this did not disappoint!) and "Polik wołowy", a dish where every element worked together so beautifully that the whole thing tasted even better than the sum of its parts.

For dessert, we shared the "Merenga malinowa". I’m usually not big on raspberries because the little seeds always get stuck between my teeth, but this was also well done. We had originally wanted the "Zapiekane śliwki pod kruszonką", but they sold the last one right before we ordered. We returned the next afternoon just to get it. No regrets!

Every dish was top tier, and the quality honestly amazed us. My husband has lived in Paris, and he said this is one of the best restaurants he’s been to in a while.

Service was warm, welcoming, and fully happy to switch to English, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere was lively with a great mix of guests: a group celebrating someone's birthday, girls’ night out, and couples on dates.

And the price? Ridiculously good for what you get. Truly unbeatable value.

We have already told all our friends heading to Poznań that this...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Republika Róż by Andrzej Gołąbek in Poznań after a friend highly recommended it — and I’m so glad I listened. The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, with cozy indoor seating across two floors and lovely outdoor tables as well. We found a quiet corner inside, and the warm décor instantly made us feel at home.

I ordered the pork tomahawk, and honestly... it was unforgettable. The portion was generous, the flavour was incredible — and it brought actual tears to my eyes. It tasted exactly like the one someone very special used to make for me, someone I’ve recently lost. That emotional connection made the experience even more meaningful.

Their wine selection is also excellent — thoughtful and extensive. This wasn’t just a meal, it was a moment I’ll remember for a long time. More than 5 stars. Highly,...

I had pumpkin soup, which I can't fault - nicely presented, good consistency and tasty. HOWEVER, when I ordered, the waitress said "just the soup, OR what about the beef cheek with ..... " and went through the other ingredients to upsell - which with afterthought I find quite ignorant. Firstly to upsell something more than twice as expensive as the item ordered, and, having ordered pumpkin soup, the waitress didn't even consider that I might be vegetarian, and didn't ask before launching into the meaty upsell. I understand up selling - asking if I wanted bread, or after eating the soup, asking if I wanted dessert - but this wasn't asked. Seems a completed lack of interest in customer experience and more about making as much money as possible....
