Michelin stars for restaurants in Poland. Wrocław emerges as a new leader

Poland's gastronomy has reached a historic milestone in 2026, as the Michelin Guide expanded its prestigious selection to cover the entire country for the first time. This year's guide features a record 196 recommended and recognized restaurants across Poland, marking a significant moment for the nation's culinary landscape.

Wrocław has emerged as a standout culinary destination, with two of its restaurants, Most and Baba, earning coveted Michelin stars. This dual recognition solidifies the city's growing reputation. Other Polish cities like Warsaw, Poznań, the Tricity area, and Kraków also continue to shine.
