FOOD
Mewa
ul. Drobnera 4, +48 (0) 71 329 6907, When I really need to tighten the belt on my budget, I head to this self-service joint. Picky eaters beware! This is traditional Polish food.
Novocaina

FRIENDS
Kafka Caffe
ul. Ruska 45, +48 (0)71 344 1173, This seemingly out-of-the-way café is actually just a few steps away from some of Wroclaw’s best bars and clubs. The perfect spot for a post-supper, pre-clubbing espresso.
Bezsennosc
ul. Ruska 51, +48 (0)71 792 8048, www.bezsennosc.wroclaw.pl A minute away from the Kafka Caffe you’ll find Pasaz Niepolda, one of Wroclaw’s nightlife hubs. This courtyard is home to several bars and clubs, including Bezsennosc.
INSIDER TIP
If your kids love fireworks, the Centennial Hall’s huge multimedia fountain is the next best thing. Wait for the sun to set to get the full, free experience.
