This is the definitive 'duck destination' in Krakow. While many places offer duck as a menu item, here it is the raison d'être. The duck is roasted to a precise crispness while maintaining a succulent interior, served with a dual-sauce system (blackcurrant and mushroom) that perfectly balances sweet and earthy notes.

Dining here is a journey back to the 13th century. The duck is prepared using ancient Polish nobility recipes and cooked over an open beech wood fire in a medieval cellar. The smokiness from the wood fire adds a depth of flavor that modern ovens simply cannot replicate.

Housed in the former Stadnicki Palace, the restaurant blends folksy charm with aristocratic elegance. Their duck is famous for its fruit-forward preparation, often utilizing cherries or raspberries to cut through the richness of the meat, served in a vibrant, colorful setting.
