Celebrity restaurateur Magda Gessler loves to fit out her restaurants with folksy floral designs and rustic wooden tables, and this Old Town venue is no exception. High-quality versions of traditional Polish food issue from the kitchen, including blood sausage, pork shanks on cabbage, and crispy duck in honey. Some tables have views of Castle Sq.
