Szczecin, historically known as Stettin, is the capital of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and a major seaport in northwestern Poland. Situated on the Oder River near the Baltic Sea and the German border, it serves as a key administrative and industrial hub. Notably, it hosts the headquarters of NATO's Multinational Corps Northeast, making it a strategic location for business travelers. The city is characterized by its rich history, dating back to the 8th century, and its unique geography, spread across islands and lakes. Surrounded by dense forests and heaths, Szczecin offers a blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty, distinct from Poland's larger metropolitan centers.

Named after its address down a cobbled side street hidden away in the city centre, this bright and colourful spot welcomes you in with open arms. Start with a drink in the cocktail bar before taking a seat near the semi-open kitchen and enjoying seasonal dishes with a modern, restrained style that puts the focus on just a few skilfully cooked ingredients. The fish dumplings with a rich, creamy shellfish sauce are a prime example of the chefs’ talents.
