The Top 11 Places to Eat Near Szyszka
-
-
-
A sleek dining room in the mountains where the menu leans into regional Czech produce but doesn't stay provincial about it, pulling in international ideas with enough confidence to justify a tasting menu. The à la carte runs long enough to keep everyone happy, including the kids, which is rare at this price point. The wine list covers the Old World seriously, with a decent run of champagnes for those who need an occasion.

Rank 5. Babinicz
Polish Steakhouse
-
A restaurant set inside the old library of a gatehouse at Zamek Książ castle, reached by a spiral stone staircase, which already tells you something about the afternoon you're in for. The cooking is modern regional, the kind that uses Kwaśnica soup and polenta cake to prove a point without making a speech about it. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the minstrels' gallery handles private parties with a straight face.

Rank 8. V Bezovém Údolí
Regional Eastern European
The half-timbered house dates back centuries and is one of very few of its kind still standing in the country, which makes the minimalist interior, all rustic ceiling and brick floor, feel like a deliberate provocation. This Czech regional restaurant keeps the menu short and the sourcing local, with the kitchen doing its own fermenting, pickling, and preserving. Five guestrooms sit in a separate timber building out back for those who don't want to leave.

Rank 9. Schneider Stube
Regional German
A snug, wood-paneled restaurant inside a Renaissance town house in the heart of Görlitz's old town, steps from St. Peter and Paul's church. The menu runs classic regional German, the kind of cooking that takes stewed rabbit and brook trout seriously. Almost everything on the wine list pours by the glass, which is considerate. Come summer, the courtyard terrace tips into something genuinely pretty.
