Śląska Prohibicja

Śląska Prohibicja is a restaurant serving traditional cuisine from the Silesian region. It is located in Katowice, in a building that harmoniously fits the architectural style of the city, characterised by red brick. The restaurant is situated in the Nikiszowiec district, a historic part of the city known for its unique, nationally-recognised architecture.

The restaurant is spacious, with a small wine room where guests can also purchase bottles to take away. The food is deeply traditional, hearty and satisfying, made with high-quality ingredients. The menu features dishes like żur (sour rye soup), beef roulades, pork knuckle in beer, and many more. The portions are generous, reminiscent of the calorie intake needed for demanding work in a coal mine – a nod to the region's industrial heritage.

The wine selection at Śląska Prohibicja features excellent producers from regions such as the Loire Vally, Champagne, Piedmont or Rioja. The wines that pair best with the hearty Silesian cuisine are often distinct in flavour, but not necessarily heavy. Many of the wines are characterised by strong acidity and structure, making them a great match for the rich, flavourful dishes.

Some of the most sought-after wines from Burgundy and Tuscany can be found here, so you might be more than surprised with how many unicorns are listed. Rieslings are strong too, the richer versions making for very fine pairings with the food.
