  • A tavern with atmosphere. The shanty music is great. Both fish soups, home-made and pirate, are good. The cod patty was tasty and nicely served, and the forester’s cod is not bad either.

  • Try the Hel-style cod and the cod patties. The cherry beer is a clever idea and really good. I recommend this little place on the edge of Hel with all my heart.

  • Even out of season we had delicious halibut with sides, Kashubian herring and a very hearty fish soup.
