Cute place that serves mostly potato dishes. Great potato pancakes, fluffy, crispy and not at all greasy. Mine were with smoked salmon and dill sour cream. Reasonably priced and low key. The soup of the day was a bit watery. I had hoped for something thicker but it was okay. read more

The entire menu at Pyra Bar is centered on one ingredient: the potato. Jacket (baked) potatoes, potato pancakes, and potato casseroles, each served with a different sauce or toppings. The Sledzionko came with a mixture of herring, pickles, apples, and onion in a chilled sour cream sauce; and the LO!Sos came with a creamy sauce of mascarpone, sour cream, lemon, dill, and chives topped with a slice of smoked salmon. Both dishes came with three chunks of roasted potato, which had crispy skin and were nicely seasoned with salt, dill, and chives. We also got a creamy coleslaw on the side to go with the potatoes, but my favorite part was definitely the herring salad, which had just the right balance of briney/seafoody flavors, a refreshing crunch, and a creamy, herbaceous sauce! read more

I really like it. The food is very tasty. Potato pancakes are delicious. You can try various kind of dishes made with potato.

Potato. In all its glory. Seriously flavorful, not expensive, and delightful potato dishes. Casseroles are the real flavor standouts and substantial enough to keep you going fpr days, although the potato pancakes were also super competently done (the creamy smoked salmon topping worked like a charm, too). Don't forget the home-made fruit punch! As mentioned by another reviewer, bus your own plates. read more

Delicious all-Potato menu. Serving traditional regional potato's, in all forms. Service is at the counter and you must bring dirty dishes to a table to be collected! So don't forget ;-) Food was amazing. See my photos. No WiFi though. read more

http://www.pyrabar.pl/ I was taken there by a friend and it was really good decision . They have 2 locations - Gdansk and Poznan and I visited the one in Poznan - first of all it is really amazing quality of food for its price - if you want to eat sth tasty and cheap it is really one of top choices for me so far for budget food, but you need to like potatoes! Pyra means potato in local language and it's restaurant about simple potato-made meals. Food is freshly made but it is simple - e.g. potatoes with cottage (pyry z gzikiem), service nice and polite and moreover the atmosphere of the place is total - it is supposed to be kind of PRL, so the paintings, cutlery even their loyalty card reflect this style - big applause for that - not too much but enough to create atmosphere they wanted to create. My friend strongly recommends soups there - everyday there is a different soup of the day and they serve everything as take away as well. Names of meals sound funny in Polish and create atmosphere - it is not a place for dinner or fancy meal, but for something quick, with good taste and good price - it gets my reco. BTW they also have loyalty scheme for collecting stamps and it is also in PRL kind of style ;-). read more

Pyra Bar - Pyry z gzikiem, placki ze śmietaną, kompot i karta na pieczątki :) - Polish Near Me - Poznań, WP

Went there for a Saturday lunch, wanted to try out this place for a long time. Pyra means potato in Polish (or at least how Poznan people say it) and all the dishes here include some sort of potates, it's a traditional food in Poznan area and maybe whole Poland in general. You have potato pancakes, casseroles, salads, etc... I tried the Burokowa and it was quite nice although it might have had too many potatoes for me :) Price is very cheap, you can get casserole dishes (potatoes on the bottom, chicken, sauce and melted mozzarella on top) for 10-12zl (300gr) and 14-16zl (500gr), I took the 500gr but didn't finish it and I'm a big guy so the doses are good. Soup is also cheap for 5zl and they have different one every day as far as I know. Overall it's a nice place for a different Saturday lunch. read more

-= ENGLISH =- (deutsch unten) The Pyra seems to be some sort of Potato Restaurant. There are a lot of dishes out of and with potatoes. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious. But they have a very poor selection for vegans. We asked for a small change of a dish, so it would've been vegan, but the clerk denied firmly. I assure you, it was a small change and not really work for the cook, and the restaurant wasn't full at that time. For this reason i can't give more than three stars. But omnivores and vegetarians shouldn't hesitate to check it out. The Pyra is build open and flooded with daylight. You can sit outside in the back yard, but it's more ugly than pretty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -= DEUTSCH =- Das Pyra wurde mir als eine Art Kartoffelhaus vorgestellt. Es gibt alles mögliche aus und mit Kartoffeln drin, und wie alle aus der Runde gesagt haben, ist auch alles sehr lecker. Dafür haben sie aber sehr wenig für Veganer geeignete Gerichte. Was ich total daneben finde: Wir haben gefragt ob man das eine Gericht nicht teilweise anders machen könne, es war wirklich nur eine Kleinigkeit, dann wäre es vegan gewesen. Die Thekenmadame war aber sowas von abweisend, es war echt schon schlechter Service. Ansonsten ist es im Pyra sehr hell und offen, hinten raus ist ein kleiner Hof, so dass man draußen sitzen kann. Es ist aber nicht schön draußen, der Hof ist klein und auf der einen Seite hat man eine hässliche Wand und auf der anderen ein unschöner Hinterhof. Also wenn ich omnivor wäre hätte ich wahrscheinlich 5 Sterne gegeben, aber so eine Miniauswahl für Veganer und dann noch eine geradezu unverschämte Unflexibilität, das macht das Pyra für mich halt nicht zu einer Top-Location. read more

Came in based on a fsq review and glad I did! Super tasty right off the old square. Even though it's a "potato bar" they offer plenty of meat options. We ordered the daily special of ribs, potato/beer soup, and "pyra - hungry", cabbage salad, and a tarty fruit pie. Ribs were definitely worth it. Staff was super helpful with ordering: even though you're supposed to order from the counter, she came to our table to suggest dishes. read more

WOW!! What a place. I had a casserole which was just potatoes, bacon and mozzarella and it was so delicious I thought about licking the bowl. My wife had potato dumplings and cabbage. It was very good and enough food for two or three. The young woman who runs the place was absolutely charming. You can't come to Poznan and not have lunch here!! read more

This restaurant has a clever theme: potato's are a part of every menu item. The potato pancakes are just like Mom used to make. The language barrier is nearly non existent and service is very good. I hope to go back. read more

ENGLISH SPEAKING w/ English menu. Delicious food. All Dishes are made fresh to order except desserts & salads. The French fries were some of the best I've ever eaten. The portions of all dishes are huge too, so you should consider ordering the smaller portions. Greek salad was amazing too! SUPER Cheap read more

Interior is pleasant, service good, inexpensive, but I found the food a bit bland. I had been to other polish milk bars before and had better food. But still worth coming too. read more
