MICHELIN – the world’s most prestigious culinary guide – has announced the list of Wrocław restaurants featured in its 2025 edition. Three restaurants – BABA, IDA Kuchnia i Wino, and TARASOWA – were honoured with the Bib Gourmand award, joining the ranks of Europe’s culinary elite. In total, 22 restaurants from Wrocław received a Michelin recommendation and have been included in the iconic red guide. It’s a remarkable achievement for Wrocław’s dining scene and a sign of its dynamic growth and exceptional culinary standards.
“This is the best debut in the history of the Michelin Guide in Poland – Wrocław has 22 restaurants recommended in the very first edition. For context, only 20,000 restaurants globally hold that status. Congratulations to the three women chefs who received Bib Gourmand distinctions – a category that guarantees excellent quality at great value. Being listed is also a responsibility: to share knowledge and open the doors of your restaurant to others. Noblesse oblige,”
— said Maciej Dobrzyniecki, President of the Polish Academy of Gastronomy, Vice President of the International Academy of Gastronomy in Paris, and exclusive partner of the Michelin Guide in Poland.
He also highlighted the role of Lower Silesia’s exceptional regional products, which undoubtedly contributed to the strong presence of Wrocław’s restaurants in the guide.
For years, the city has been implementing a consistent strategy to develop its gastronomic brand, culminating in Wrocław’s official inclusion in the prestigious Michelin Guide. This milestone not only enhances Wrocław’s reputation on the international culinary map but also acts as a powerful driver of growth for the region’s tourism and hospitality sectors.
“Wrocław’s food industry has been waiting for this for years. Being featured among Michelin-recommended cities is a tremendous honour for our chefs, restaurateurs, local producers and all those shaping the city’s culinary identity. It’s also proof that consistent effort – from workshops and campaigns promoting local cuisine to organising international-scale events – really pays off,”
— said Radosław Michalski, Director of the Department of City Brand of the Wrocław City Hall.
In 2024, Wrocław attracted 6.6 million visitors. The city is admired for its architecture, culture and atmosphere – and increasingly for its flavour. Tourist numbers rose by 10%, international visitors increased by 6.6%, and Wrocław Airport served 4.5 million passengers. The record-breaking Christmas Market in December drew over 700,000 people. Tourism is now not just a lifestyle, but a major economic force – generating at least 450 million PLN annually for Wrocław.
“This was a turning point – we promoted Wrocław not only as a travel destination, but as a city with a unique culinary DNA. Michelin recognised what locals and visitors have long known: the flavours of this city deserve global recognition,”
— added Alfred Wagner, Deputy Director of the City Promotion and Tourism Department and President of the Wrocław Tourism Organisation.
Being listed in the Michelin Guide also translates into real economic benefits. Restaurants included in the guide report, on average, a 40% increase in revenue. The so-called “Michelin effect” also means:
– 57% of business travellers extend their stay by at least one night
– 71% of tourists spend on average €40 more while visiting
Wrocław is home to over 1,000 dining venues – including more than 100 in the Market Square and 400 in the Old Town alone. From street food to fine dining, Wrocław’s culinary scene is gaining national and international recognition.
The city’s gastronomic brand strategy is built on collaboration – between the Wrocław Gastronomy Council, the Tourism Council, and the Wrocław Tourism Organisation. Their mission is to support restaurateurs, host events, and strengthen the city’s position on Europe’s culinary map.
In 2023, Wrocław underwent an international culinary audit confirming its potential. That led to regular meetings with Maciej Dobrzyniecki and the formation of a chefs’ and restaurateurs’ community. One of the outcomes was a curated list of regional products that today reinforce the local character of Wrocław’s cuisine.
A key strength of Wrocław is its cooperation with local producers – as seen in the “From the Field to the Wrocław Table” initiative, which promotes short supply chains and responsible cooking. Mini fairs were held to connect restaurants with nearby suppliers.
The city also invests in education – through the “Gastro Academy” training programme for newcomers to the industry. In parallel, the “Wrocław Culinary Grand Prix” competition supports young talent and offers internships in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Wrocław promotes its food culture through major events such as the Christmas Market, St John’s Fair, Street Food Festival, Wine and Cheese Festival and the Good Beer Festival. A new initiative, the Culinary DELICJE Festival, was recently launched.
Wrocław also played a key role in the Made For Restaurant conference – as a partner in Warsaw and Poznań, and in 2025 as co-organiser of the Cross The Borders edition at Centennial Hall. In the Forbes & FOR rankings, many of the city’s restaurateurs were named among the best in Poland – confirming Wrocław’s growing reputation as a culinary leader.
