Restaurant Niezłe Ziółko operating by the Puppet Theatre, Cafe Kulisy by the Polski Theare or the Autograf Klub at Impart. It is here that we can have a coffee and cake in the interlude or a glass of wine after the show, with a high probability of bumping into one of its actors. It is worth remembering, though, that when the theatre's stage is empty, the restaurants are all open and welcoming for their guests.
Niezłe Ziółko at the Puppet Theatre
Restaurant Niezłe Ziółko is located in a historical building of Wrocław Puppet Theatre. Apart from the restaurant, the facility runs also a bistro, a summer garden and a café opened during performances.
"We host various people, both parents with children coming here after the show in the Puppet Theatre, and 
adult residents of Wrocław, who are keen on the repertoire of the Komedia Theatre. Sometimes come even the audience of the nearby Wrocław Opera" admit Andrzej and Alicja, the restaurant's owners.
Restaurant and bistro Niezłe Ziółko offers table booking: after the feast for the spirit one is welcome for something more carnal. The eatery offers starters, soups, main courses and desserts. And dining in the company of actors from the theatre is not a rarity. "We often host the actors of the Komedia Theatre, recognized by many residents of Wrocław from many popular TV series.
The Wrocław Puppet Theatre is closed for summer, but the Komedia Theatre is staging all summer long.
Autographs at the Impart
Autograf Klub is a relatively young place at Wrocław's club map. Apart from coffee, teas, cold drinks and alcohols, the place serves also home-made meals. The menu includes, among others, pierogi dumplings, pancakes, soups or salads. As in case of the majority of theatre restaurants, 
the place is not just about eating. The Autograf organizes regular jazz evening or jam sessions. It is also a place open for all artistic initiatives: here, one can play an instrument, sing or exhibit one's works. During concerts or performances organised by the Impart Art centre, one can bump into some celebrities here, and after a performance or a concerts go out with them for beer, take their autograph or just have a chat. "For example, a while ago we've hosted the members of the Raz, Dwa, Trzy group, who happened to play a concert at the Impart at the time. They were open for conversation" reveals one of the bartenders. The Autograf can also be booked for closed events: birthdays, wedding receptions, proms etc. For example, the graduates of the junior high school no. 14 had their parting party here. "Apart from the bar room, there is also a second, larger room, capable of accommodating such events" assure the owners. At present, the place is open from 11.30 to 20.00, and after vacation the opening hours will prolong to 22.00.
The Impart Art Centre welcomes for performances and concerts starting from September. The first event will be the Jesse Cook's concert on September 21st, to inaugurate the 17. Wrocław Guitar Festival, GITARA+.
The backstage of the Polski Theatre
The Cafe Kulisy is visited not only by the audience of the Polski Theatre, but also regular residents of Wrocław and passers-by. The café is open from 9.00 to 24.00. Lunches are unfortunately not available here, but we can have cake, coffee, tea 
or a cocktail. When it comes to the film and theatre people, the owners assure that their guest book is very voluminous. One can bump into the actors of the Polski Theatre or the Capitol, as well as renowned guest performers from all over the country. The café's entrance is located at ul. Gabrieli Zapolskiej, where also a small terrace with tables is located. Cafe Kulisy can also be accessed from the Polski Theatre building, owing to which, the audience is not forced to leave the building in winter during interludes to have tea or coffee.
At present the Polski Theatre in Wrocław is closed for a summer break.
Coffee and deck chairs in the Capitol
Many residents of Wrocław will surely remember the Ośrodek Club, which was located on the right side of the building's entrance before the refurbishment of the Capitol Music Theatre 
. At times, parties were going on until morning here, and the customers were both the actors, and the residents of Wrocław of all ages. At present, the Capitiol awaits for a new tenant to run the restaurant in the underground of the refurbished facility. For now the room is empty. Nevertheless, the Capitol is not closing down on the residents of Wrocław. Every day, all summer vacation long from 12.00 to 19.00 the courtyard of the Capitol is open, offering free coffee and WiFi, board games, as well as books to read and exchange in the book crossing point. "At present, a tender is launched for a coffee and sandwich business. A small business should start operating in the new season, i.e. from September" said Joanna Kiszkis, the spokesperson for the Capitol Music Theatre.
The Capitol itself is also closed for summer. The first performance after vacation will take place on September 6th, and it will be "I Love You. Me Neither. Serge Gainsbourg".
