Anima
Poland
Anima brings an Italian sensibility to Sheraton Grand Krakow on Powiśle, close to the Vistula and Wawel. Its name means soul, and the restaurant's emphasis is on the pleasures of a shared table: familiar dishes, wine and time to settle into a meal with friends or family. The menu builds around Italian classics, including carbonara, focaccia and tiramisu, alongside the kitchen's own contemporary compositions. Seasonal ingredients guide the cooking, while herbs grown in the hotel's greenhouse contribute to dishes and drinks. The approach gives recognisable flavours a direct connection to the property. Breakfast and brunch add a different rhythm to the room. Breakfast includes eggs prepared to order, while the Sunday brunch brings together Italian, Polish and Asian influences with live cooking stations and a selection of desserts. For an evening meal, Anima suits diners who want Italian cooking within an established hotel setting near the historic centre. Its broad appeal makes it equally useful for a family gathering, a relaxed business meal or a longer conversation over pasta and wine.
