Obviously these aren’t all of the good places but it’s what me and friends have checked out and ended up being good
Breakfasts
- Manekin (expect high demand and waiting up to 30 mins for an order)
- Caffe przy ulicy ŚRÓDMIEŚCIE
- Placówka
- The Brick (not particularly a breakfast place but a great café with some smaller options to eat)
- Jaga Cafe (spot 1, spot 2, spot 3) (same like The Brick but closer to BaseStack)
- Vita Cafe (it’s in Manufaktura, so a bit far from the venue, but they have the best pastry as someone said 😎)
- DZIEŃ DOBRY caffe (another café with some options to eat, you have to order at least 3 things on the menu when doing an order)
AgrafkaAVOID, overpriced and they give hamster portions
Dinners
- Manekin (expect high demand and waiting up to 30 mins for an order)
- Caffe przy ulicy ŚRÓDMIEŚCIE
- BAR AZJA NAM LONG (asian cuisine, inexpensive)
- Pierogarnia Stary Młyn Łódź (PIEROGI)
- 京味 Beijing taste (2 minutes on foot from BaseStack, chinese cuisine)
- Ramenownia by Susharnia (japanese cuisine)
- Ato Ramen (japanese cuisine)
- Forno Nero Pizza Napoletana (amazing italian pizza)
- Pizzanova (italian cuisine, mostly pizza)
- Pho by Lilly Tran (vietnamese cuisine)
- places you can search by a phrase “bar mleczny” – they serve classic polish food, these places may look old tho but they serve big portions, they are cheap and tasty
A Nóż Widelec – kuchnia domowa Łódź https://maps.app.goo.gl/mnr6r6WzHPe4uS9b8except this bar mleczny, the portion sizes are good but they give small meat portions
Fast food
- Pin Up American (burgers/pizzas) (it’s literally next to BaseStack)
- ZAHIR KEBAB (there are many of them)
- Mugambo Kebab & Wega
- Zapiekarnia (zapiekanki)
- anything else you order through Uber Eats, Glovo, Volt and Pyszne.pl (equivalent of lieferando.de/just-eat.co.uk/takeaway.com/thuisbezorgd.nl, you can even use the same app afaik) but keep in mind you cannot take the order into the venue
- every Żabka lets you buy some sandviches, hot dogs and other snacks (including hot ones) which can be a good option if you have 10 minutes to eat, especially because there is one literally next to the venue
you can find a map with these without this cursed breakfast place here
