Mandragora żydowska restauracja

Their food was excellent and portions were big. Excellent value for money. We took the duck, dumplings, liver, and a selection of starters. Enjoyed every minute. The garden is lovely and the inside has a nice historical vibe.

An overall amazing experience. A Lublin local in Warsaw told me that if I ever saw a Jewish restaurant in Lublin that I must eat there and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and reminded me of Kosher restaurants in the USA. I am glad that what we have in the US is authentic. The service was so good and attentive. I felt like I was in a flashback eating here. Definitely recommend.

This is a restaurant that gave me two new experiences. First, it allowed me to experience goose food for the first time. Second, I ordered a cold drink for the first time, but it allowed me to experience a lukewarm drink without ice. When you order, be sure to ask if there is ice in the cold drink.

Tucked away in the heart of Lublin’s Old Town, Mandragora Żydowska Restauracja feels like stepping into a warm, intimate corner of history. The delicate lace tablecloths, antique-style furniture, and soft lighting create a sense of being welcomed into someone’s home rather than a restaurant. What makes this place truly special is how it blends atmosphere with meaning. As you sit surrounded by books like The Lost World of Polish Jews and guides to Jewish landmarks, it becomes clear that this isn’t just a culinary experience—it’s also a quiet tribute to a culture once so vibrant in this city. The ambiance invites reflection, while the flavors bring comfort. The dishes are rich and full of character—from the creamy, traditional beef in horseradish sauce to the beautifully roasted meat with orange glaze and aromatic herbs. Each plate is presented with care, accompanied by fresh bread or perfectly matched garnishes. Paired with a glass of white wine, the meal becomes a slow, soulful journey. Mandragora is more than just food; it’s storytelling through cuisine. It allows you to taste the legacy of Jewish life in Poland, not as a museum piece, but as something living, warm, and heartfelt. A rare and beautiful experience that lingers far beyond the final bite.

The food was amazing!✨️ We ordered: salt beef (fantastic! you have to ordet it if you're here), fried liver with button mushrooms in wine and honey (if you like liver you'll love this), carp fillet made seasoned with Israeli mix of herbs (carp has a specific taste so it may not be 100% for everyone but if you like it you'll like this one), tartar (amazing, very fresh) and lastly grilled chicken breast with potatoes and salad (10/10). The vibe is amazing, the place is very pleasant and they also sell delicious bread there you can take home. If you are in Lublin and you're looking for a place yo eat go there wou won't be diasspointed🫶🏻✨️

Great restaurant, not only for the food but also we learned quite a lot about jewish culture thanks to the menu and the little notes there. Felt very authentic and welcoming. Food was super good and the atmosphere especially in the courtyard was so cosy. We had dinner there and I think spent almost 2 hours. The service was attentive at first, but eventually became more random (eg they forgot our dessert and didn’t come to offer new drinks when old ones were finished).

We’ve had a great early dinner with starters mains and quite a drinks. The service and food were delicious. Highly recommend!

Disappointing experience. Lower lvl was loud from distorted concert upstairs only alternative was a outside/patio. Crepes with haring appetizer were excellent except for being oversalted. Latte was about 45 degree Celsius. Duck dish had many flaws main one everything lacking salt which was especially bad combined with sweet flavors everything also lacked complexity, luckily there were a few unplucked thyme stems for decoration. Worth exploring if you have the money and thyme (I'm Funny) but I wouldn't recommend if you want to be confident you will get a good meal.
