The story
Danuta and Krzysztof Worobiec run Oberża Pod Psem in Ruciane-Nida, where their kitchen focuses on regional Polish cooking rooted in ingredients from their own farm and neighboring farms. The menu highlights traditional Polish food prepared with care, featuring game dishes that reflect the character of the surrounding Mazury landscape. This dedication to local produce and heritage earned the venue a 11.5 score from Gault&Millau, recognizing how the couple maintains the area's culinary traditions.
Dining occurs within a historic Mazurian hut that preserves original furniture and architectural elements from the past. The grounds include a courtyard with ducks and a small pond shaded by mature trees, providing a natural setting for the summer garden. One of the buildings on the property houses a museum showcasing the "Mazurska chata podcieniowa" from the early nineteenth century, deepening the sense of place.
The kitchen relies on fresh produce from its vegetable garden to craft dishes that Gault&Millau calls regional cuisine at its best. Many diners describe the comfort of these meals as recalling Sunday lunches at a grandmother's home. Oberża Pod Psem welcomes guests every day from nine until eight, ensuring access to these seasonal menus throughout the entire year.
