📖

Full description

Czarna Kaczka, or Black Duck, serves regional Polish dishes inside a long-standing tenement house in Stare Miasto, with a patio and a bar. The signature is the whole duck, praised for crispy skin and succulent meat and plated with potato gnocchi in a well-balanced composition.

Reviewers note attentive, knowledgeable service and that the room can be full even in peak summer, with some calling it quite touristy. Booking a week ahead was enough for one visitor, and a reservation is recommended.

A visit typically runs about 75 minutes at mid-range prices, from lunchtime into the evening.

Reviews

The whole duck is spectacular. Crispy skin and succulent meat. All the ingredients on the plate served an important purpose and the taste is very well balanced. The potato gnocchi served with the duck was also very chewy and delicious. The potato pancakes with goulash were also very good! We were lucky to walk in…
