Valentine’s Day the way you like it
Zafishowani restaurant at the Hanza hotel decided there will be no schemes this year. Thus, you will not find a dedicated menu.

Romantic atmosphere is guaranteed by live music that will accompany you throughout the night. What can we expect in Zafishowani? As the name implies, it is a place primarily for aficionados of fresh fish and seafood. We especially recommend halibut with wild garlic pesto, caramelised carrots and mashed potatoes (69 PLN).
