Once home to heavy machinery and metal processing, the former Hutmen factory on Grabiszyńska Street is now the newest hotspot. HUTA Wrocław is a fresh, 5,000-square-meter space bringing together street food, music, art, and good company. From industrial relic to cultural revelation, this is Wrocław’s new must-see destination. Here’s why you’ll want to be part of it.

The Industrial Roots of HUTA

For over a century, the site at Grabiszyńska 241 was a symbol of Wrocław’s industrial muscle. Established in 1918, the Hutmen Non-Ferrous Metal Processing Plant operated through wars, political shifts, and economic transitions. Generations of workers shaped metals—and a community—within these walls. The factory finally closed its doors in 2021, leaving behind a labyrinth of steel beams and concrete textures.

Now, with a creative twist, these bones have been transformed into HUTA Wrocław: a gastronomic and cultural precinct pulsing with life, taste, and creativity. Behind this rebirth is GreenCorp, the team responsible for Wrocław’s beloved ZaZoo Beach Bar, HotSpot, Urban Garden, and Park Śniadaniowy.

A Place for All Tastes

The heart of HUTA is its vibrant food court—a curated lineup of culinary concepts that invite locals and visitors alike to taste their way around the world. Here’s a quick tour of what’s on the menu:

  • CUDO – Vegan street food that doesn’t play it safe. From bao buns to jackfruit wraps and creative loaded fries, this is plant-based with punch.
  • Mango Mama – Popular in Wrocław, Mango Mama brings the flavors of Asia to HUTA with spicy curries, stir-fries, and noodles full of aroma and color.
  • Meatologia – As the name suggests, it’s all about meat. Big burgers, slow-cooked ribs, and smoky sauces—this is comfort food for carnivores.
  • Oyche Döner – A fresh spin on a classic. Oyche blends Turkish and German inspirations to serve up kebabs with personality—think crispy flatbreads, zesty sauces, and plenty of veggies.
  • Paloma Coffee Roastery – Not just a coffee stand, but a real roastery serving specialty coffee that pairs perfectly with a catch-up, work session, or chill-out moment.
  • Randori Ramen – A warm bowl of ramen always hits the spot. Here you’ll get deep flavors, handmade noodles, and the comforting feel of Japanese street food done right.
  • YOKO by Suszarnia – Sushi and poke served with a modern twist. Fresh fish, bright ingredients, and a clean design make this one of the more elegant spots at HUTA.
  • VaffaNapoli – Pizza straight from a Neapolitan playbook: chewy crusts, San Marzano tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella all baked in a wood-fired oven.

With such variety, the HUTA Wrocław’s motto “Smakuj po swojemu”—taste your way—really rings true.

Meet Hutas, the Giant Welcoming You In

At the center of HUTA Wrocław is a sculpture you can’t miss: Hutas, a 13-meter-tall wooden figure sitting calmly among the food and art. Built from reclaimed wood (including planks rescued after flooding at HotSpot and ZaZoo), Hutas was created by local artists Michał Niedźwiedzki and Daniel Piątek.

With his glowing fluorescent hat and watchful pose, Hutas is a storyteller: he represents Wrocław’s ability to transform the old into something radically new. The community helped name him, and now he’s become a kind of unofficial mascot and guardian of the space.

But the art doesn’t stop with Hutas. HUTA Wrocław invites local artists, performers, and creatives to use the space as a living gallery. Expect murals, installations, workshops, and unexpected encounters!

What Else?

One of this spot’s biggest draws is the music: it’s the heartbeat of HUTA Wrocław. Lo-fi, afro house, and DJ sets, the space flows with rhythm and energy throughout the day.

HUTA is also designed to support local art, community projects, and small businesses. There’s space for pop-up concepts, a tattoo studio, and NGO initiatives. Art installations and creative events are planned regularly, with plenty of opportunities for collaboration.

The concept takes a cue from the old Hutmen values—where even during industrial times, there was a push for human-centered workspaces, greenery, and art within the factory setting.

The New Wrocław Icon

HUTA adds something new to Wrocław’s cultural map: an open, accessible, and creative space grounded in the city’s industrial history. With top-tier food, engaging art, live music, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where you can stay for a coffee and end up spending the whole evening.
