The biggest voice in the city’s restaurant scene
If you’ve eaten out in Poznań over the last few years, chances are MYTUJEMY influenced where you went. From viral food reels to hidden gastro gems, they’ve become one of the biggest voices in the city’s restaurant scene — helping shape what people eat, where they go, and what blows up next.
Featured in the Poznan Daily Spring Edition — now available in 100+ cafés, restaurants and locations across the city — we sat down with the team behind MYTUJEMY to talk hype restaurants, pressure from owners, burnout, kebabs, and why Poznań’s food scene is finally getting the attention it deserves.
For those who missed the paper edition, here’s the interview online.
The Interview
Ever walked into a hyped Poznań spot and thought it’s bad?
Yeah, but it doesn’t last long here. Poznań has no patience for weak places. The market always exposes it.
Ever refused to write about a place?
Yes. We don’t do public takedowns. One recent invite after a change of ownership — we went in open-minded, but everything was off. We left. No point pretending online.
Have you ever held back bad opinions because of pressure or relationships?
Yes, but that’s part of the job. We’ve had bad service, mistakes, chaos — but we don’t turn it into content. We focus on places worth going, not drama.
Biggest misconception about MYTUJEMY?
That we’re a couple. And that we’re a restaurant. Both wrong.
Would you ever open a restaurant yourselves?
No chance. We’ve seen too much behind the curtain — stress, pressure, burnout. Not for us.
How does Poznań compare globally?
Underrated. I’ve had better croissants here than in Paris, coffee on par with Copenhagen, kebabs better than Berlin. It’s improving fast. Food tourism here is real now — people come specifically for it. Even traditional Polish cuisine is making a strong comeback after years of being overlooked.
Biggest red flag in a restaurant?
Tension. You feel it instantly. If the team isn’t aligned, the whole experience falls apart, even if the food is good.
If you had to eat at the same places forever?
Mateo: Papavero for duck, Suszone Pomidory for pizza, Taco Jesus for Mexican.
Magda: Gotuyam for Asian, Smażone Mleko and Tu Się Piecze for pastries, Ala Ma Wino for breakfast, PLAN and ŁYK for coffee, SZKŁO for small plates.
No single answer anymore — there are just too many good places now.
Is the gastro scene getting repetitive?
No. Every new opening changes the conversation. That’s what people click on, and honestly, that’s what keeps the city moving forward.
Kebab — real food or hype?
Never really my thing, but it’s massive here. For fans: Tonir Grill, TOP Modern Kebab, Tureckie Smaki. Mateo prefers Kura Warzyw.
Do restaurants treat you differently when they recognise you?
We don’t always notice it ourselves, but friends say the service changes — warmer, more attentive. So yeah… probably.
Has this job changed how you eat?
Definitely. It’s half life, half work now. Hard to fully switch off. Some days it’s content, some days it’s just eating — but the line gets blurry.
When did it become a real business?
When life forced structure. It was a huge transition period — burnout on one side, maternity leave ending on the other. Then both our jobs ended on the exact same day: May 26. That felt like a sign.
That’s when we built things properly with MINIMA and later launched the MYTUJEMY search platform, so people could actually search for places instead of endlessly scrolling.
Do restaurants try to influence you?
People assume that, but we just keep working. We know our value and don’t operate based on pressure or rumours.
Do you feel responsible when a post blows up?
Absolutely. Sometimes places aren’t ready for sudden traffic. We’ve had posts hit over a million views and it can completely overwhelm a venue.
Any regrets promoting certain places?
Yes. Not because of the food, but because later we discovered things about people behind the business that didn’t sit right with us. You don’t always see everything upfront.
Why launch the new table game?
To pull people away from phones and back into conversation. Also to use that dead time between ordering and the food arriving — the moment everyone normally just scrolls. We wanted to turn that into an interaction and something memorable. ONLINE STORE
One truth about the Poznań food scene nobody says out loud?
We want quality ingredients, huge portions… and we still expect it to be cheap.
Our take
Behind the viral videos and packed restaurant openings, MYTUJEMY has become more than just a food page — it’s part of the culture of modern Poznań. Love the hype or hate it, one thing’s clear: the city’s gastro scene has never been louder, stronger, or more competitive than it is right now.
