Hey Poznan!
It’s that time of year again — when the air smells like roasted goose, the tables are booked weeks ahead, and every foodie in Poznań is flexing their “where to eat goose” knowledge like it’s an Olympic sport. But here’s the deal: if you’re serious about doing November right, there’s one name that beats them all — Papavero. And no, we’re not saying that lightly.
Three straight years in the Michelin Guide (2023–2025), these legends have been serving goose longer than half of us have been adulting — 23 years to be exact — and their Presidential Goose has basically reached celebrity status. (We’re talking actual an polish president showing up, not just food bloggers with iPhones and ring lights.)
The Goose That Rules Them All
Let’s talk food. Papavero’s menu this month isn’t just food, it’s soul. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you text your group chat mid-bite like “Bro. You won’t believe this goose.”
Here’s what’s on deck:
Cider-marinated goose carpaccio
Red onion chutney & cardamom pear (light flex, heavy flavor)
Pierogi stuffed with goose and country groats
with cranberry jam, andgoose lard (pure comfort food power move)
Goose blood soup
with offal and dried fruit & dumplings (don’t knock it till you try it)
Goose fillet
Potato gratin, mead-soaked plums & aniseed sauce (Michelin-level decadence)
And of course — the Presidential Goose.
Quarter-roasted, dripping in sauce, rolling with red cabbage & homemade dumplings. The O.G.
For the homebodies — they’ve even got a takeaway version. Half a roasted goose with all the trimmings and reheating instructions. That’s right: Michelin-level goose, sweatpants optional.
The Papavero Legacy
Chef Jakub Buchwald, the mastermind behind the scenes, is basically Poznań’s goose whisperer. Dude’s a magician when it comes to game and poultry. Word is, when he’s not in the kitchen, he’s either out fishing or gardening — talk about living the brand.
And yeah, you’ll want to meet the front-of-house dream team: Sławek, Waldemar, Dawid, and Jan — the four horsemen of Poznań hospitality. No capes, just charisma.
The Final Word
If you’re reading this and still haven’t booked a table, you might wanna hurry — spots on November 11th vanish faster than pierogi at a family dinner. But don’t panic — the goose menu runs all November long, so you’ve still got time to get your fix.
