![Szara Gęś, a restaurant in Kraków, Poland.]()
Phone: 530 380 050
Address: Rynek Główny 17, Kraków
By the Glass List of the Year International Open 2026
Szara Gęś is located in one of the oldest buildings in Kraków, which goes back a few centuries and underwent a thorough renovation in the late 1980s. It’s a well-known address in Kraków and, stylistically, the interior doesn’t adhere to any single trend. In fact, it reminds one of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland… Inside, this is a large space with various rooms, and it blends perfectly with Kraków's vibrant cultural and artistic scene.

![Nat Bistro, a restaurant and wine bar in Kraków, Poland.]()
Phone: 664 006 824
Address: Krakowska 34, Kraków
Nat Bistro is located in the center of Kraków, taking over the spot of another well-known wine bar (Trzy Cztery Wine). The founder is Joseph di Blasi, who is well known in the Polish wine community. He is the first major importer of natural wines to the market via his company, Naturaliści, and operates a wine shop elsewhere in the city. An incredibly stylish place, Nat Bistro’s design sits somewhere between Paris and Copenhagen, no matter how clichéd that sounds: a few tables, positioned closely together; a large, high bar; and food that sits somewhere between a wine bar and a bistro.
