Szeroka 9
One of Torun's most polished kitchens, plating modern Polish and European dishes on the central Szeroka street.
Reviewed and updated July 2026
Szeroka 9 is one of Torun's most polished kitchens, plating modern Polish and European dishes. It sits at ul. Szeroka 9, one of the central streets running through the Gothic Old Town. This is a step up in ambition from the traditional taverns around the square, aimed at a more considered meal.
Modern Polish and European cooking
The kitchen works in a modern Polish and European register, with the polish and presentation the excerpt highlights. This is contemporary cooking rather than home-style tavern fare. Menus at a kitchen like this change with the season, so look at the current card and take the staff's steer.
The setting on Szeroka street
Expect a more refined setting suited to a longer dinner. It is a place for an occasion meal or a night when you want something beyond the traditional plates. The central Szeroka address keeps it in the thick of the Old Town.
Who Szeroka 9 suits
Good for couples and anyone after a polished dinner rather than a casual bite.
Finding Szeroka 9
Ul. Szeroka is a main artery of the Old Town, so the Old Town Market Square and the surrounding Gothic landmarks are within a short walk. That puts dinner in easy reach of the sights. The Torun guide shows how the centre fits together.
The kitchen describes itself as Polish cuisine opened up with international and European influences, so alongside Polish plates you will find dishes drawing on Italian and French cooking. The restaurant also keeps a wine list running to more than a hundred labels.
In summer the setting extends to an open-air garden off the Old Town street. Menus at this level change with the season, so look at the current card and take the staff's steer; confirm garden availability and booking through the restaurant's own channels.
Good to know
A more polished kitchen is worth booking ahead. Confirm opening hours, prices and reservations through the restaurant's official channels.
