The story
In Wrocław’s Bastion Sakwowy, a 16th-century fortification has been transformed into a dining room. Gustaw takes its name from Gustaw Liebich, whose brother Adolf built a grand neo-Renaissance complex here in the 1800s, turning the hill into a cultural hub. Today that legacy lives on, not in heritage alone, but on the plate.
Chef Kacper Sawoń leads the kitchen, drawing inspiration from 19th-century Polish and Breslau menus. Working with high-quality local products, he gives those old recipes a modern, personal interpretation. The result is contemporary cuisine that feels grounded in place and time, yet entirely of the moment.
The restaurant offers a tasting menu as the central way to experience the chef’s work—a journey through flavours that connect past and present. Guests sit in a space that carries the spirit of the Bastion, with outdoor seating available when the season allows.
Gustaw was awarded a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that reflects the precision and care in both the cooking and the setting. It is a place where modern cuisine meets the texture of local history, and where every dish tells a story without needing to say a word.
