The story
Located on Toruń’s Old Town square, Szeroka 9 serves modern Polish cuisine that balances seasonal produce with refined technique. Founders spent years refining recipes and selecting materials after drawing inspiration from travel and regional markets. The Gault&Millau jury noted this deliberate approach when awarding the restaurant a score of 11.5, highlighting how natural ingredients form the foundation of every plate.
The kitchen structures its tasting menu around deliberate pacing rather than rushed service. Guests begin with an artisan loaf baked on site and house-made butter, then move to raw beef tenderloin tartare dressed with pickled cucumber, wild boletus, and a cured yolk. Grilled shrimp arrive alongside herb butter and chorizo, while a bright lemon sorbet prepares the palate for halibut with cauliflower purée. A saddle of venison finished with parsley root and blackberry reduction anchors the savory courses before dark chocolate fondue closes the meal.
The dining room uses a restrained palette of browns, beiges, and greys to create a quiet backdrop for conversation. Staff maintain a steady pace that suits both casual daytime coffee and extended evening meals. Behind the bar, the team manages a list of over one hundred labels chosen to complement the kitchen’s emphasis on natural flavors. This careful pairing strategy ensures local game and coastal fish remain the focal point of every Polish and European cooking experience.
