Eat

• 1 Hotel Mużakowski, ul. 1 Maja 8, ☏ +48 518 911 337. This hotel restaurant (given that the alternatives in town are mostly kebap and pizza) is popular with day trippers from the other side of the border, which is why prices are only slightly lower than in neighbouring Germany. Look out for the daily specials can be 10 to 15 % cheaper than what's on the normal menu. Regardless of how you decide: The food is excellent, while service is rather unfriendly, and your food may take a while when it's busy. From 39 zł (mains). (updated Oct 2023)
