Tłusta Kaczka

The restaurant located between Gdynia and Sopot welcomes you with a great ambience, very modern, but furnished with traditional materials. Immediately, when you enter the restaurant an awesome smell of fresh bread and extraordinary herbs crawls in your nose.

The cuisine of chef Tomasz Mrozik presents itself as typical Polish, modern interpreted and served. So the traditional żurek is served with homemade sausage and a quail egg. After that you are spoilt for choice: Traditional Polish duck served with polenta, strawberries, raspberries, beetroot, balsamic vinegar and green pepper or veal marinated in vanilla, with chanterelles, semolina dumpling and young carrots… and if there is still room you should ask for the dessert of the day.
