Tawerna U Cywila at 13J Dziwna Street in Dziwnów, in the Armada hotel building, is a place for people who want to sit down for a calmer meal and treat fish as the main event of the evening, rather than a quick dish after the beach.
The Cywiński family has been connected to fish gastronomy for years, and the tavern in Dziwnów continues that direction in a more restaurant-style version. The menu includes fish and seafood, but also meat dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan options. The interior has a maritime feel, and the walls are decorated with a sgraffito by Artur Wyszecki.
What's worth ordering?
Guest reviews often mention less obvious types of fish, including:
- cuttlefish
- carbonella
- halibut
- antar
- turbot
- monkfish
- burbot
- cod
- zander
A big advantage of this place is the approach to the fish itself - the staff and owner can help you choose a species, tell you about it, and suggest how it should be prepared. This is the element that most often sets U Cywila apart from an ordinary fried-fish shop.
Atmosphere
This is more of a place for a relaxed dinner, wine, and a longer stay than a quick lunch. There are also evenings with music and guitar, sometimes featuring the host himself.
You should also keep in mind that prices are higher than in a typical seaside fried-fish place - here you're paying not only for the portion, but also for the type of fish, the way it's served, and the more restaurant-like character of the venue.
Good to know
A reservation makes sense especially in the evening and during high season.
