The speciality here is Kashubian regional cooking from the northwest of Poland, and dishes such as potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage rolls, fish soup and fried herring are as close to home cooking as you'll get in a restaurant. The interior is done out like a traditional farm cottage and the exposed beams and dark-green walls make for a cosy atmosphere.
