I was looking for a Polish cuisine to have a nice, hearty home food lunch, and I wasn't disappointed! I tried a kotlet schabowy — fried pork breaded cutlet — with baked potatoes and stewed cabbage (with bacon!), to which I also ordered some fresh coleslaw and a glass of kompot. The lunch was incredibly filling, and the entirety cost me just 59 zlotys. The place was thematically decorated with autumn stuff like pumpkins and whatnot. Also, the signs in the room will make sure that you pay attention to their impressive variety of Polish vodka 😅 The service was very nice. I was seated almost instantly, regularly checked on by the waiters, and was surprised by Polish krówka candies in a basket with my check! The menu's are available in both Polish and English, several tables around me were also waited in English, so feel free to come!

COVERT RACISUM by definition is how I would describe my experience there. A long story short approximately two years ago: I was with a group of military friends that ranged from CPT to SGT and a Chaplin. The ethnicity of group was a pot of black, Indian, white, mexican, asian and chinese. I asked what what did he recommend pertaining to the drinks and he said watermelon vodka and paused. All at the table could hear it and made us all especially me uncomfortable. I was a sport and took it on Mexican, to keep the day and experience flowing but will never visit nor recommend this place to anyone, of color or not. I can't believe this has stuck with me all of this time. One should not have to be subject to such rehetoric in such a beautiful town.

Late Review : It had really nice environment to have your bites. But Staffs of there was not so aware of what you really didn't want in your food. Like we didn't want Bacon in our food and soup, asked several times if they can serve these without bacon. ( though bacon items seems here very common in Poland of course) But they (Staffs) told us they would serve the soup without bacon which we guess was cooked with bacon already 🙄🙄😅. They served it strained out the bacon but still there were some of these left. After telling this to them they did not even say sorry or felt guilty for that 🤪. That felt really strange as a tourist. By the way other foods were okay but the price seemed little higher. May be its a tourist destination that's why.

Had a very enjoyable post-theater dinner here. The wait staff was friendly, the portions were extremely generous, and the outdoor patio was pleasant, especially on a hot and muggy July evening. The food was tasty, and for some reason the fries were just that right blend of crisp and hot and not too oily. We initially thought we’d be waiting a while for a free table outside but the server let us sit on the reclining chairs and order drinks and snacks while we waited. I know the restaurant bills itself as serving Polish cuisine but it really is much more than that. Highly recommend the burger and the bbq sauce with their special “elixir” ingredient. ;-) and it’s just off the beaten path enough to avoid the really touristy tourist crowd.

Upon entering it seemed the staff were ignoring me waiting to be seated as they passed by. Eventually someone confirmed that I wasn't invisible and showed me to a table. From there the experience was all positive. Great food, with friendly recommendations from the staff. Chill vibe in the restaurant made it just as comfortable to eat solo as it would be to dine with company. The dishes were decent portion and very reasonable. I'd recommend the minced pork cutlet (though I didn't care for the texture of the mushrooms that came with it). Really delicious and filling polish traditional meal. All in all, for just about 100zloty (£20), I had 2 mains a desert and 2 soft drinks. Great eat

After we visited Gdansk zoo and read great comments about this place we had lunch here. And for us it was a little bit dissapointing. We ordered Pierogi feast 38 zl (9 pcs of pierogies), pierogies with cottage cheese and rasberies from kids menu (24 zl) and bandit pancake (massive potato pancake with goulash in the middle) 49zl. Main reasons its 3 stars: our pierogies lacked flavor, far from best peirogies we had previously, and our kid got wrong order - not sweet pierogies but with cottage cheese and potatoes and plate looked sadly. Pancake with goulash was massive and tasted good.
