For those in Nowa Huta looking for a literal taste of the PRL era without resorting to a milk bar, this is arguably your best option (though Stylowa would like to have a word...). Serving all the traditional staples of Polish comfort food, including a range of stuffed dumplings and massive breaded pork cutlets, plus a special kids menu, weekday lunch specials and a wide range of drinks, Skarbnica Smaku ably serves the needs of both tourists and locals, including large groups, who are catered for on the spacious mezzanine level. Located right on Plac Centralny, for over fifty years this space was home to the 'Skarbnica' bookshop, and - though the closure of that institution was a bit of a local tragedy - the interior retains some nods to its past life with a few bookshelves still intact, original light fixtures, historical photos and a map of the district. Though things are kept quite casual, the soaring ceilings and windows still give off a spacious and imposing grandeur, and in summer there is a large sidewalk patio. Overall, Skarbnica Smaku pays homage to Nowa Huta's past without being too stuck in it, and is one of your better bets for a decent meal in the area.
