Mnisze Co Nieco (Tyniec Abbey Restaurant)

The restaurant is simple and modest, but we know you didn’t come to a monastic order in search of four-star cuisine. The food is home-cooked, of course, and they offer many of the traditional Polish dishes that are still popular throughout the country. The specialty is peirogi made with spelt flour (mąka orkiszowe), and the soup is just what we would imagine a Benedictine monk eating on a daily basis. Be sure to wash it all down with a home-brew or honey-wine, and maybe you’ll start to grasp why all the monks here seem so content with life.
