An excellent bar in the heart of Old Gdańsk! The decor and atmosphere match the place. Traditional, natural and delicious food. Baked potatoes with stuffing and potato pancake with toppings are finger-licking good! Very friendly service. The owner who welcomes his guests creates a nice, homely atmosphere in the premises. A place you want to come back to! We highly recommend it!

You'd imagine a resturant based around the humble baked potato would be somewhat limited. Far from it.
The variety of fillings and sauces is enough to stimulate anyones tastebuds.
All 4 of us agreed these were the best baked/jacket potatos we'd ever tasted!
Add to that the beer and wine and really friendly service and you've got the perfect place for lunch when walking around old Gdańsk.
The locals don't seem to eat the potato skin. For me the crisp skin is the best bit, with all the goodness and the roughage! I think the staff must have thought we were either very hungry or heathens (or both!)

Central location and great street views add to the experience of dining here. Food is fresh and tasty and their own beer is also very good. We are here twice trying the filled potatoes and the potato pancakes, both were excellent. Service was good despite some poor reviews on this site.

Everything seemed to change when I asked for menus in English.
I said hello and explained that we had a reservation, in Polish.
I had made the reservation mostly in Polish, too.
But I am not that confident to translate a whole menu for my wife.
If it was just me, I would maybe just chance it with the Polish menu, but my wife needs reassurance that she understands what she is ordering. So, I asked for menus in English and the atmosphere changed.
The food took ages to arrive and when it did, the chips were cold, as if they had been left standing.
Drinks did not turn up.
I spoke to the waiter several times on the way past to attract his attention but he "did not hear me".
Eventually, I went to the counter and asked about the drinks. Grudgingly, he brought them over. I am not sure if one of the beers was one that another table had already sent back for being wrong. I saw a member of staff taste it.
Cold chips (French fries).
Nobody bothered to ask if everything was OK. By this time, we had decided to just power through and get out of there.
Same problem as before trying to get attention of the waiter to ask for the bill. It is not a big restaurant. It would be impossible for waiter not to hear me on the way past.
So, I went to the counter again. At thix point they asked iv everything had been OK. I said no, the chips were cold. No response.
Paid the bill and escaped.
All in all, quite a weird experience and not very pleasant.

It’s baked potatoes. That you eat with a fork only. No knife offered.
This place lost me when they sat us right by the door in a draft (Gdańsk in mid Nov isn’t warm!) and then I realised they could have sat us in a cosier place towards the back.
The food was ok but the service was poor. Food felt a bit dumped in front of us. We had to ask for our bill and it felt like we were doing all the legwork. It’s a small restaurant so more attention to detail needed.
Like someone else said, I wonder if once they realised you’re a tourist you’re not top tier.

I had a baked potato with Mexican beef. The meat was really good and spicy with lots of red peppers. I like spicy food so this dish satisfied my taste buds.
The restaurant has a cool bar with vintage looking furniture. It was a nice and cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. I had a pleasant evening.

A great discovery. A warm welcome and good, basic but delicious dishes. The place is cold from the outside, it's hard to get in but once inside you feel very good. Thank you to the nice, very nice young waitresses.. I recommend for a visit to Gdansk.

So glad we stumbled across this place, it was great. We both had filled jacket potato’s, mine had creamy mushrooms and my partner had a tomato and sausage casserole. Both were very tasty and warmed us up well! It had a great atmosphere, friendly service and good beer. Highly recommend!

Basically the menu is based on the potato. In the Old Town this was a wonderful place for lunch on a cold snowy day. The atmosphere is warm and friendly as is the service. While cozy its not fancy. I had a large bacon and cheese potato with a couple of dark beers while sitting at a window seat watching the snow out on the street. Nice place for lunch and probably calories.

The best potatoes cakes with chanterelle sauce I ever ate :) I came here always when I visit Gdańsk and dishes are taste and fresh. Style of the bar is interesting, tables are wooden but inside on the walls are PRL style and this is very nice. Great big ice cream with fruits dessert :)

Very tasty potatoes and very big. The caffee was good as well.
The only problem was we were told to go to the underground floor because there were very few floors, and to get there you have to go out and enter thru a different door. It’s basically not connected. And they have no idea of how is the other floor doing, so when we got there it was super crowded and you could barely walk/move. The staff was incredibly rude and we were ignored not only before, but also while trying to talk to the guy behind the counter. He gave us short and rude answer with barely looking at us.
So we went upstairs again, and this time was even more full so we got the last table which was in a pretty awkward place. Anyways, before our food was served someone else left and we could take their place.

Very tasty potatos. Especially tasty are ones with mushroom. Also good ones are with "bryndza" (white cheese) and bacon. Though I am not a bacon fan - I do reccomend it. Will come back surely...

Read online about this restaurant so I knew something in beforehand. The staff was very polite and food was very good and reasonably priced. We will be back.

Great jacket potatoes with a wide variety of toppings (vegetarian and meat options). If you’re not into potatoes…your choices will be very limited (fish and chips and 2 or 3 other options). Great price for the amount of food!

Full speed on staff but super good impression. Food was awsome and help to combine with drink likewise
Pricing hit well worth the money
