The story
Restauracja Bazar 1838 anchors itself in central Poznań with a contemporary Polish cooking style led by Chef Jeremi Skokowski. His team treats the menu as a living document. Ingredients swap as seasons shift. High quality local produce forms the foundation for every plate, while refined European techniques elevate familiar regional foundations. This steady execution earned the venue a twelve point rating from Gault&Millau, reflecting consistent standards over time.
Modern Polish cuisine takes shape in the winter roster, which introduced sunflower seed risotto paired with a sharp kale pesto. Spring brought pierogi filled with fried Greater Poland cheese served alongside young cabbage and chanterelles cooked in brown butter. Summer shifts toward river fish, featuring pike perch fillet dressed in crayfish butter with smoked buttermilk. Each dish follows a clear structure where one dominant ingredient carries the weight of the preparation.
Guests enter a restored nineteenth century building located just off the Old Market Square. Polished tables and crystal chandeliers fill the Oval Room under high ceilings. A fully glazed patio runs through the property, keeping tropical foliage visible even during colder months. The space balances formal architecture with relaxed service, making it suitable for both quiet lunches and larger business meetings.
