On the other hand, in the Wilda district,  you can try mainly Italian cuisine, although the local architecture doesn’t look like these one in sunny Italy. The city is also full of restaurants with traditional cuisine and unique places like a cat's cafe where you can enjoy the taste of real, freshly ground coffee while enjoying the company of cats. Evenings Poznan residents spend on the Night Social Market (Nocny Targ Towarzyski), where many selected exhibitors regularly present sample menu and street food dishes from their restuarants.
