Gavi Restaurant

The story

Gavi Restaurant Kraków – Polish & European Fine Dining at Plac Kossaka

A Refined Address in the Heart of Kraków

At Plac Kossaka 6, Gavi Restaurant occupies a space that has already earned recognition well beyond the plate. The dining room took first place in Europe at the World Luxury Restaurant Awards, and the wine list holds a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence — a combination that signals serious intent on every front.

Chef Filip Gracz and the Menu

The kitchen is led by Chef Filip Gracz, described by the restaurant as a culinary virtuoso whose dedication to cooking shapes every dish. His tasting menu draws on old Polish culinary traditions — kuchnia staropolska — reinterpreted through modern techniques and a fresh perspective. The result is a carte that invites guests to rediscover familiar Polish flavours in original, carefully composed forms, complemented by classics from the broader European repertoire.

The Interiors and the Patio

Inside, the dining room is defined by gilded details and considered ornamentation — the kind of space that sets a deliberate mood without feeling theatrical. For those who prefer open air, a courtyard patio sits just beyond the restaurant's doors. Filled with greenery, soft fabrics, and generous parasols, it offers a quieter counterpoint to the grandeur within: an unhurried spot for lunch or an evening meal away from the city's noise.

From Lunch to Dinner

Gavi structures its day around the rhythm of the table. Afternoons open into a refined lunch, and the evening moves toward a more formal dinner — both expressions of the same commitment to Polish and European cuisine executed with care and without rush.
