Manekin
Café · Łódź
Checked
Manekin serves pancakes on 6 Sierpnia street, one location in a Polish naleśnikarnia chain running in Łódź for over a decade. The menu covers sweet and savory naleśniki, baked and potato versions, tagliatelle naleśniki, soups and salads, plus jars of jam and coffee to take home. Weekends bring long queues at the counter, a mark of its local following. Doors open at 10:00 daily and breakfast runs until noon, useful for an early stop on a ride.
Manekin's original Łódź location opened at 6 Sierpnia in 2009, nine years after the first restaurant started the chain in Toruń in 2000. The chain has since grown to sixteen locations across ten Polish cities, two of them in Łódź. A second local location later opened on Sienkiewicza street. Weekend queues are a fixture at 6 Sierpnia, and regulars treat the wait as part of the visit.
What you see
The dining room is styled like the inside of a Łódź tram, with details nodding to the city's old textile trade woven into the decor.
