Karczma Gęsia Szyja — Restaurant in Toruń

I’m not familiar with Polish cuisine but while I was checking on Google map to find places to eat, I found this one which served goose and duck dishes, which I had never seen so far in my trip in Poland, so I went to have a try.

Once I arrived and ordered — from a menu with English, a Swedish and a pole invite me to join them. During the conversation I asked the opinion of the Pole and he commented that this restaurant is very good and the food is very authentic, so I guess this restaurant is really good.

For me the soup I had was very good but the goose thigh was quite dry, though perhaps it was just a matter of preference.

Price-wise it’s way cheaper than those restaurants in the middle of the town center, though it’s also not at the rate of some remote milk bars, but I think the price is very fair.

P.S. I saw the pictures on Google map that this restaurant offers goose dumplings but I couldn’t find it...

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the waitress was visibly upset, approached us with an angry attitude, and didn’t smile or show any courtesy throughout the meal. It felt like we were an inconvenience rather than valued customers.

To make matters worse, the food was terrible. Everything we ordered was either overcooked, bland, or just poorly prepared. It was clear there was little attention to quality or presentation. Combined with the terrible service, the entire experience was disappointing and frustrating.

Dining out is supposed to be enjoyable, but this visit left us regretting our decision. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone unless they completely overhaul their service and...

7 years after our first nice moment in this restaurant, on this 12th of July 2024 we have just to confirm again our comments : "" A nice restaurant to enjoy traditional polish cooking , but also various dishes ,really well prepaired , with good research and so pleasant for taste as well for eyes. Inside at 1st floor, so nice old fashioned separated tables places / cosy.... The staff is Friendly and Efficient .. Avoid the saturday / sunday, as here is a "High table " for polish apparently and which means no place free exceptef by booking. Skynet 35 France Bretagne ""

Then happy to recommend it...
