The top dishes include mainly Silesian dumplings with roulade and red cabbage. If you’re fond of sour flavours, your stomach will be grateful to you when you treat it with traditional soup - Silesian sour rye soup or chicken broth. We cannot forget about „kwaśnica”, i.e. a stock of sauerkraut and smoked ribs.
