Restaurant in Poznań, Poland
Michelin recognition, park setting, fair price.

Port Sołacz holds a Michelin Plate and a 4.2 from over 1,500 reviews, delivered at a €€ price tier from a 110-year-old lakeside building in Sołacki Park. The kitchen has real technique, the terrace is one of Poznań's best outdoor dining settings, and booking is easy. This is the strongest case for a special-occasion dinner in this part of the city.
Port Sołacz earns its Michelin Plate recognition at a price point (€€) that is genuinely hard to argue with for Poznań. That combination — a 110-year-old lakeside building, a terrace that outperforms the dining room, and kitchen output credible enough to attract Michelin's attention , makes this a serious consideration for a special-occasion dinner or a considered business lunch. The verdict: book it, particularly if you are visiting Sołacki Park and want a meal that matches the setting rather than coasting on it.
The building at Litewska 22 has been standing since before the First World War, and a recent interior refurbishment has made the most of that structure without erasing it. The dining room is described as bright post-renovation, but the terrace is the reason to plan ahead: it faces the lake and Sołacki Park, one of Poznań's most composed green spaces, and on a clear evening it is the kind of outdoor seating that justifies a reservation in itself. If you are booking for a date or a celebration, request the terrace explicitly , the interior, while pleasant, does not deliver the same spatial dividend. For parties of two, the terrace counter or a window table will serve you well. Larger groups should inquire about positioning when booking, since the room configuration after refurbishment is not publicly detailed.
The property also operates hotel rooms, which makes Port Sołacz a practical choice if you are arriving in Poznań from outside the city and want a single address for the night. The rooms are described as a suitable base for exploring the park rather than a destination in their own right, so temper expectations accordingly , this is a restaurant that happens to have rooms, not a hotel with a serious food and beverage program bolted on.
Menu at Port Sołacz spans a wider register than you might expect from a Michelin Plate venue: soups, salads, and pizzas sit alongside more technically demanding preparations. The confit duck leg, which is specifically cited in Michelin's own notes, signals that the kitchen has genuine classical technique available to it. Confit is an exacting process , temperature control, fat quality, resting time , and its presence on the menu alongside more casual options suggests a kitchen that can operate at multiple registers rather than one that is uniformly ambitious. That range is either a feature or a limitation depending on what you are after. If you want a tightly focused tasting experience, Port Sołacz is not that. If you want a meal where two people with different appetites can both eat well from the same menu, the breadth is an asset.
Michelin editorial also references the menu as one that caters for a range of appetites. At the €€ price tier, that kind of flexibility matters. You are not locked into a fixed format, which makes Port Sołacz more practical for groups where not everyone is in fine-dining mode.
Venue also holds a White Star from Star Wine List, published February 2025, which indicates a wine program considered serious enough for independent recognition. At the €€ price tier, a strong wine list is not guaranteed, so this credential is worth noting when planning a celebration dinner where the wine pairing matters as much as the food.
Port Sołacz works leading for three profiles. First, couples or pairs celebrating something , the terrace setting and the Michelin-recognised kitchen give the meal a frame that most €€ restaurants in Poznań cannot match. Second, visitors to Poznań who want a dinner that is both geographically convenient to Sołacki Park and credible enough to justify the trip. Third, diners who want a flexible menu rather than a fixed tasting format , the breadth here is a practical advantage if your group has mixed appetites or dietary constraints.
Solo diners are accommodated but the experience skews toward shared meals given the setting and menu range. If you are eating alone and want a focused, counter-style experience, SPOT. or A nóż widelec may give you a more intimate format. For the full Poznań picture, see our full Poznań restaurants guide.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy , you are not fighting a three-week waitlist here. That said, terrace tables during summer and on weekends will go faster than interior seats, so if the outdoor setting is part of your reason for coming, book at least a week ahead and specify the terrace. No specific booking method is listed publicly, so contact the restaurant directly. The address is Litewska 22, 60-605 Poznań. No website or phone number is currently available in Pearl's database; the most reliable route is to search for the restaurant directly and confirm current hours before travelling, since operating hours have not been independently verified here.
The €€ price tier means you are looking at a mid-range spend by Poznań standards. This is not a budget meal, but it is not an occasion that requires financial preparation either. Factor in wine if the Star Wine List recognition is relevant to your visit , a credible wine list at this price tier often means the per-bottle pricing is reasonable rather than aspirational.
Port Sołacz sits in a different register from Poland's highest-profile modern restaurants. Bottiglieria 1881 in Kraków operates at a more rarefied level, as does Arco by Paco Pérez in Gdańsk. Within Poznań, Muga operates at the €€€€ tier if you want a more formal, higher-commitment tasting experience. Port Sołacz's value is in delivering Michelin-level kitchen credibility at a price and in a setting that few Polish cities can replicate at this tier. If you are building a wider Poland itinerary, 1911 in Sopot, Acquario in Wrocław, and hub.praga in Warsaw are worth comparing by city and occasion. For those interested in what €€ modern cuisine looks like at the global end of the scale, Frantzén in Stockholm and FZN by Björn Frantzén in Dubai illustrate how far the category extends.

A quick look at how Port Sołacz measures up.
The setting — a century-old lakeside building with a terrace beside Sołacki Park — calls for neat, presentable clothing rather than formal dress. The €€ price point and broad menu (including soups, salads, and pizzas) suggest a relaxed atmosphere. Think a clean shirt or a simple dress rather than a suit. There is no publicly documented dress code requirement.
Port Sołacz holds a Michelin Plate for 2025, which signals kitchen competence, but the venue's menu spans a wide register from pizza to confit duck leg rather than a single focused tasting format. Whether a set tasting menu is offered is not confirmed in available venue data. If technical dishes like the confit duck represent the kitchen at its best, ordering from that end of the menu is the safer way to experience what earned the Plate recognition.
Book a terrace table if the season allows — it overlooks Sołacki Park and is the clear draw. The menu is broad, so come with an appetite for something specific: the more technically demanding dishes (like confit duck leg) are where the Michelin Plate credentials show, not in the pizza section. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, so last-minute reservations are usually possible, but summer terrace slots fill faster on weekends.
It works for solo diners reasonably well. The wide menu and relaxed format mean there is no pressure to commit to a long tasting experience, and the Michelin Plate setting beside Sołacki Park makes it a satisfying solo lunch or dinner rather than just a functional stop. That said, the terrace and hotel atmosphere skew more toward pairs and groups — solo diners may find the interior the more comfortable option.
Yes, at the right price. A Michelin Plate kitchen, a 110-year-old lakeside building, and a terrace setting give the occasion enough weight without requiring a budget for starred dining. At €€, it sits comfortably as a celebration choice for couples or small groups in Poznań who want recognition-backed cooking without the cost of Poland's top-tier restaurants. Book the terrace well in advance for summer occasions.
Within Poznań, Cucina and Marino Bistrot are the closest comparison points for modern cuisine at a similar or adjacent price tier. If you want a more neighbourhood bistro feel, NOOKS is worth considering. Port Sołacz's specific combination of a Michelin Plate, a park-side terrace, and hotel setting is fairly distinct in the city — alternatives may match on food quality but not on that physical setting.
At €€ with a Michelin Plate (2025), a 4.2 from 1,530 Google reviews, and a terrace beside one of Poznań's main parks, Port Sołacz delivers clear value. It is not aiming at the level of Bottiglieria 1881 in Kraków or Warsaw's top modern restaurants, but for Poznań it is a well-priced choice with credible kitchen credentials. If you are visiting the city and want a reliable, setting-forward dinner without paying starred prices, it earns its place.
