We published articles to encourage you to take part in the review in September. 47 Wroclaw-based restaurants, cafés and bars joined the competition to win the hearts and palates of the local consumers in 10 different categories. The competition was held at the weekend of 26-28 September. On 6 November, the results were officially announced at Krzywy Komin in Nadodrze. Those who collected the largest number of crowns in the review (out of the total number of over 2,710 votes from Wroclaw gourmets) were presented with financial prizes, statuettes and diplomas. The winners and the runners-up received the awards from Janina Woźna, Head of the Office for the Economic Development at the Municipal Office in Wroclaw, and Jolanta Winiarz, Manager at Makro Wroclaw.
Makro gives you the rod, but you have to fish on your own
The idea to organise the "Gourmet's Crown" review comes from Makro, who want to encourage all gastronomic establishments in Poland to pursue excellence, not only those who work with Makro as their chief supplier. The best thing about the competition, whose 3rd edition has just come to a close, is that it is customers themselves who choose restaurants, bars and cafés which, in their opinion, offer top food and great atmosphere together with impeccable customer service. Simply put, they choose places where they can have a meal with family, friends or their loved ones.
This year, twenty cities throughout Poland have decided to join the competition. In Wroclaw, the review has been carried out under the auspices of Mayor Rafał Dutkiewicz, Polish Chefs and Confectioners Association and gastronauci.pl.
