Restauracja Dmuchawce — Restaurant in Poznan

I used to live five minutes away and came all the time. Now I live 15 minutes away, but I still stop in a couple of times a month. The menu changes rarely, and not much of it is very exciting, but in a way, that's the point. Eating at Dmuchawce is like eating at home but without the hassle. The owners are almost always there, and very attentive. The wait-staff remembers all the customers, and can often anticipate what you will order.

I recommend it 100%, and in fact I’m writing this right now while sipping a nice Zywiec on their very pleasant...

My home away from home, being a local resident I can only be grateful that superb and seasonal food comes with great companion and amazing personality of owners and staff who became our friends over the time.

Plus the summer garden is a star, just like Ela the...
