Mandragora Jewish Restaurant

An extraordinary journey into Jewish culture and tradition, interwoven with the history of pre-war Lublin. Mandragora is like a Jewish home, where the atmosphere of family, cordiality, friendship, and love is obvious. The heart of the kitchen consists of tradition, history of the dish, and respect for the product. The recipes handed down from generation to generation are the pride of all Jewish women and the foundation of the Restaurant. The menu card opens the door to an ordinary Jewish home, where the kitchen plays a special role. It is filled with tradition, history, and symbolism, and its flavours evoke a longing for a world that has passed away. The dishes in this menu are not accidental, most of them are prepared on the basis of recipes that are over a hundred years old. They are a kind of journey through the Jewish calendar. We invite you to a culinary journey where tradition meets modernity. Jewish cuisine is full of symbolism. Each dish refers to holidays or events from the history of Israel. Holishki is a traditional dish for Sukkot, chulent must be at the end of the Sabbath, fish for Rosh Hashanah, and latkes for the most beautiful holidays – Hanukkah.
