Sandomierz Restaurants

There was a certain time of the afternoon...we all know about this... when suddenly everyone wants an ice cream at the same time. Happens frequently...in many countries. Such was the case here in front of the oldest restaurant mentioned earlier. Of course Gosia and I followed suit. Who could resist?

The most amazing thing about this restaurant is discovered at their front door. Look up to see the date of the establishment. 1563 !!!! Astounding for someone from the US who thinks that the 1700's is really old. We sat on a sunny patio with umbrellas to shade that blazing sun. We arrived in Sandomierz on one of the hottest days of the summer. I just remember being very grateful for a cool drink and the shade. It was crowded that day, and when a bird flew in to dive bomb someone's head, the entire group was in a stir. Just a little local entertainment to add to the charm of eating out-of-doors.

Actually this tip represents two restaurants. We stopped on our way south and had drinks while watching the activity in the square. It was a pleasant spot to take in the preparations for a weekend concert. The weather was so hot that you just wanted to sit there and suck down about 3 tall cool ones. On our return trip, we stopped in this charming village once again and spent a bit more time. We chose this location for lunch and again enjoyed good service, tasty lunch, and the opportunity to watch all the activity in the town square. Gosia tells me there were two separate restaurants. One is Trzydziestka (Thirty) and the other is Staromiejska at 28 Rynek Square. I didn't notice any signs, just the red umbrellas. They are on the south side of the town square. You can't miss them. Stop for lunch or coffee. You are certain to enjoy a pleasant repose.
