The culinary highlight of U Grubego lies in its masterful preparation of iconic Polish favorites.

For those seeking a warm, comforting start, the rich and aromatic Chicken Soup or the earthy, tangy notes of Żurek Z Jajkiem (sour rye soup with egg) offer a delightful prelude to the meal.

U Grubego’s menu is a treasure trove of Polish culinary gems. The Karkówka w Sosie Kurkowym (pork neck in chanterelle mushroom sauce) delivers a perfect harmony of tender meat and luscious, creamy sauce, while Golonka Na Kapuście Zasmażanej (pork knuckle on braised cabbage) showcases indulgent, slow-cooked flavors that leave a lasting impression. For the adventurous palate, dishes like Mielone Z Dzika Z Kluseczkami w Sosie Kurkowym (wild boar meatballs with dumplings in chanterelle sauce) bring unique depth and a rustic charm not often found outside Poland.

The dining ambiance at U Grubego matches the food’s authenticity. The warm, inviting interior is enhanced by the soft glow of traditional décor, creating a cozy setting that encourages relaxed and enjoyable meals. Patrons like Adam Drobniczak appreciate the casual vibe where one can even enjoy a dinner while watching Polish films on TV — a charming touch that connects diners to the country’s culture beyond just the plates.

Excellent service further elevates the dining experience here. Customers consistently highlight the friendly and attentive staff who strike the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine warmth. From punctual service to helpful recommendations, U Grubego ensures every visit feels personalized and cared for.
