Slow-braised pork shank, often poached in dark beer then crisped under the salamander, served with sauerkraut, mustard and a pile of mashed potatoes. The German-Hanseatic-Polish hybrid dish Kubicki has made its century-long signature.
Eisbein arrived in Gdańsk with the German Hanseatic merchants and survived through the Free City era. Kubicki opened 1918 and has refused to alter its eisbein recipe since; the dish is the room's century-long signature and the most-photographed plate on the menu.
