If you thought hotels and restaurants could not co-exist, think again.
Puro Hotel in Poznan has a cool restaurant called Nifty No. 20.
Although attached to the boutique designer hotel, Puro Hotel, the restaurant is a destination for foodies who love a cocktail after a long day exploring Poznan. 
With Poznan being heavily student based – yes, there is a cool beer culture resonating throughout the city with Basilium Beer Spot leading the charge as a local favourite ( Marvel at their Craft-beer wall and order their Beer Cocktails!) , Nifty No. 20 adds more oomph to the growing culinary city of Poznan.
Here is a quick and easy recipe from Nifty No. 20 – the best part is, you do not need to measure ingredients – love kohlrabi, add more! Hate onions, add less! Cooking could not be easier!
