What guests say
“A place you want to come back to”
We ordered żurek and karmuszka soup, plus Warmian farszynki. Everything was very good (…). Very friendly staff. A great tavern atmosphere. Highly recommended.
— Joa K.
The pork neck she recommended was spot on! Delicious broth with homemade noodles. The Warmian farszynki were very good too.
— Dawid N.
The homemade pasta melted in the mouth and the broth was superb. The potato dumplings deserve special praise. Everything on the plate went together perfectly.
— Dawid W.
