Reviewed and updated July 2026

Piano Bar Restaurant & Cafe is a fine-dining room in the Stary Browar arts-and-business centre on Polwiejska, a short walk south of the Stary Rynek. It is one of Poznan's steadier upscale addresses, aimed at a longer, sit-down dinner rather than a quick bite. The kitchen works to a seasonal menu drawing on Polish and European cooking.

Seasonal Polish and European menu

The menu is seasonal and changes through the year, so the dishes on offer will depend on when you visit. Alongside it sits a long wine list, which points to a place set up for a proper meal with a bottle rather than a coffee stop. Check the restaurant's own channels for the current menu.

Best for a smart dinner

This is a choice for a special dinner, a date or an evening when you want table service and a wine list close to the square. Smart-casual dress fits the room. Book ahead for weekend evenings.

Where it is in central Poznan

The Stary Browar complex sits a short walk south of the Stary Rynek, so the Ratusz and the old town cafes are within easy reach. See the Poznan guide for more.

On the food, the kitchen leans Italian and Mediterranean as well as Polish, so the seasonal menu tends to sit across those traditions rather than Polish cooking alone. The room has been a laureate of the Orły Gastronomii industry plebiscite across several recent years, which fits its billing as one of the city's steadier upscale addresses.

The location is worth noting in its own right. Stary Browar is a former brewery reworked into a centre of art and business, and the complex is built around installations, exhibitions and workshops, so the setting carries more than the usual shopping-gallery backdrop. Check current menus, the wine list and booking through the restaurant's own channels, as these change through the year.

Good to know

For upscale evening dining, reserve ahead, especially at weekends. Check current opening hours, the menu and prices on the restaurant's official channels.
