Hubertówka in Nowy Zamek

In the village of Nowy Zamek in the Milicz municipality, on the shores of the Milicz Ponds, operates Hubertówka — a restaurant with guest rooms specialising in game and fish cuisine. It is a typical address for the Barycz Valley, a region where carp and game have been served for centuries. The restaurant publishes current opening hours online; check the schedule and parking options before travelling.

The cuisine of the carp region

The menu is dominated by produce from the local ponds and forests: fish soup with plenty of Milicz carp meat, duck with stuffing, game dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options are also prepared, and ingredients come from local producers.
