Med Malina

Košice


Sour soup żurek, roast duck with red cabbage, and bigos (cabbage and mushroom stew, flavoured with sausage meat): a medley of Polish and Slovak specialities are served with cheer in a simple but homely setting. Locals scramble for the few tables here, so it's worth reserving on weekends.
