Mandragora Jewish Restaurant
Żydowska Restauracja Mandragora
Jewish-style restaurant in an old house on the Old Town Market Square, known for its roast duck with carrot tsimmes and its stews, with klezmer music on Fridays.
Housed in an old building at Rynek 10 on the Old Town Market Square, Mandragora is Lublin’s best-known Jewish-style restaurant (Jewish in style rather than strictly kosher). Its signature is Jewish-style roast duck with carrot tsimmes. Other dishes include Lublin-style czulent (slow-cooked beef and beans), goose gizzards, salt beef and a sweet-and-sour Jewish cabbage soup. There is also a Sabbath menu. Breakfast is served on weekend mornings, such as shakshuka with challah. Klezmer musicians perform live every Friday. Dishes are made to order, so allow at least 25 minutes, and book ahead for dinner in peak season.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri 12pm–10pm, Sat–Sun 7:30am–11pm
