Gdańsk & Pomerania
Kashubian dishes can be tricky to track down in Kartuzy, but the food prepared by the chefs at this professional outfit in the far south of town is both traditional and modernly conceived. The duck, trout, sandacz (zander) and pierogi are brought to your table by uniformed, polite staff.
If you've had your fill of local, then there are plenty of internationally flavoured options on the menu. The restaurant is a pleasant, 1.6km walk from the centre along the banks of pretty Lake Karczemne.
