They don't have the props of girls in sexy senorita outfits or bartenders wearing cowboy hats but it's not easy to find tastes as genuine as this...and what an atmosphere in an ancient tower! Only problem is you don't see it from the street and it take s a bit of effort to find but it's well rewarded!" | David

If one's daring enough to pass through a poorly marked maze to find the ancient tower's door, you may not want to leave once inside. The owner himself treated me like I was a guest in his home. He informed me that he's a well traveled artist and it was like being privy to his atelier where he turned us on to little relics of his journeys, little masterpieces to be devoured with terrific wine, what's he's calling "Global Tapas". So rare to find in Poland a clean place to eat that's not poisoned by clouds of filthy cigarette smoke, we instead lazed back on fluffy Middle Eastern style pillows inhaling strawberry flavoured shisha while sipping Pinot Noir from Chile and dabbling in dishes of tempura, fried potatoes with garlic sauce and sweet cinnamon covered nachos. But first I highly recommend checking out the maps on their website and carefully reading the instructions. " | Lars

Right on salsa, rice and a delicious beautifully presented burrito like nowhere I've encountered during travels. However, we also received a plate which was undercooked but were kindly offered anything else in the menu by a very friendly waitress. She explained that there was a technical breakdown in the kitchen and that the staff working last night are new. I also asked to pay by credit card and was told there was another problem with the terminal so we paid in cash.

When we came to pay we were told cash only when we said we only had card we had to wait 20 mins while they turned the machine on. Not good service. All in all not good would not recommend." | Chris

| | "I visited Abrams' Tower last Saturday. They've got some problems with entry from the address street, Krainskiego. You can only enter from the beginning of the long ancient brick wall that's connected to the tower on its inside (away from the street) or from Piaskowa (street with tramways) through a passage found between two pharmacies. Because of this they are only open now on Friday and Saturday evenings to the public. Still nothing's changed otherwise, the best kept secret in town, amazing old world atmosphere. There's no cliched
decor of cactuses and photos of banditos but the other Mexican joints in the city do not even compare. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" | Lance

It's not easy to find good service in this town but the friendly help here is refreshing but most of all an unusual menu of some of the best Mexican food I've had in my travels, which says a lot as I'm living now in Paris. Aside from the Mexican I tried their recent French special and was astounded. But they've got a problem with the conservator at the moment and reaching the entrance is a bit of detective work, well worth the trouble. I highly recommend Abrams Tower. " | Mark Dixor

Music played was from many styles and countries, nothing like places in center of town. Problem is finding it. You must find the long brick wall on Krainskiego and walk from the inside of it to the door." | Kasia

| | "Hi. I'm the overly friendly owner of Abrams' Tower. Just in case anyone is going to be around for New Year's Eve and hasn't a place for dinner, most everything around the market square will be completely booked due to excessive crowds. As others have written, the old tower is not so easy to locate and with no street traffic we won't be located in this way. If you would like a GREAT night with terrific food from around the globe, great ethnic dance music as well from Latin to Balkan to popular standards, great wine, cocktails and/or, of course, vodka, if you want to enjoy it in an intimate atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city, take a look at the info on our website. It's advised to reserve seats as soon as possible and in any case, I promise to stay in the corner unless invited ;-)" | Frederick

| | "I am also a Pole who left my country. I cam back to see family for Christmas and visited the tower the other night to meet the owner who I met before during a return visit for a wonderful wedding party in the tower a few months ago. I told him then that my Polish friends who also left would say that he's a hero for trying what he does in our difficult country. Many of us left to escape the bureaucracy. In the UK starting a business is at least ten times easier. He told me of his usual problems, the latest losing two bartenders just before Christmas, one, who suddenly left Poland, the other to a leg injury. He said his manager who is not a bartender had to work the bar some nights. He told me his two main chefs lived in London for a few years and returned with experience that was not possible to get in our country. I can't understand the motives of another foreigner who knew Baszta, La luz and Abrams' Tower trying to discourage others, speaking of a rare friendly owner so rudely. I also travel often to Spain and in the most popular restaurant I ever saw there the owner was always talking to everbody! I knew Baszta too, the first wine bar in the city. Abrams has tried to revive this wine spirit that Baszta lost in its final days when it became a cheap beer pub before that business died. Those who know this history should be thankful for what he has made in a not easy building to find outside of all of the commercial places around the market square, many with bad imitations of food from other countries and mediocre wine at ridiculous prices." | Agnieszka

Not many people who remember Baszta and La luz know or appreciate the fact that he brought the tower back from the dead when the roof was caving in and with little help from the city or anyone else has been working for years trying to revitalize a lost treasure in the city while now offering some of the best food Wroclaw has ever known.

I've lived in the UK for years so I know what I am talking about and I admire him for all of the incredible troubles he has had to bring to Poland such terrific cuisine which so many people here have as yet to discover! And he's always worn very nice cologne when talking to me..........." | Kasia

If you want to go there, I just recommend the food - its really good! But if the owner is there - run!" | Cintia
