MÙLK Chëcz Kaszëbskô

MÙLK Chëcz Kaszëbskô is a Kashubian restaurant at ul. Kaszubska 63 in Miszewko, a village in Kashubia in Pomeranian Poland, around 20 minutes from Gdańsk Airport. The name is written in the Kashubian language and means roughly Mùlk's Kashubian House. It is set in a traditional wooden Kashubian house with live folk music, which makes it a themed regional restaurant as much as a place to eat. The cuisine is Kashubian, and the signature dishes are Kashubian pierogi and regional soups. Pierogi in Kashubia are often filled with potato and cheese, meat, buckwheat or seasonal fruit, and are served with onion, cream or fried bacon. The regional soups can include fish soup, sour rye soup, mushroom soup and vegetable broths, in keeping with the farmhouse cooking of the lake district and forests of Kashubia. Prices are in the moderate range, with a typical meal costing around PLN 40-80, and the menu is built to be shared by families and groups. The wooden house has beams, carved furniture and folk decoration in the Kashubian style, with the embroidery and patterns of the region, and the mood is warm, festive and relaxed. Live folk music adds to the atmosphere, and noise levels rise during performances and on weekends. Dress is casual. The drinks list is likely to include Polish beer, mead, fruit infusions, wine and soft drinks, and local spirits are a natural complement to the food. Hours are not listed and should be confirmed by phone on +48 58 728 41 92. Because the restaurant caters to groups, weddings and tourist parties, booking ahead is advisable, particularly for weekend evenings, summer dates and for any visit that includes live music, which may not run every night. The village is best reached by car or taxi from the airport and Gdańsk, around 20 minutes away, so the restaurant suits a first or last meal around a flight, or an excursion into Kashubia.
