St. Martin’s Day: A Tradition of Goose on the Table
On November 11, we celebrate St. Martin's Day—a perfect occasion in Polish culinary tradition to enjoy exquisite goose dishes. Historically, it was believed that St. Martin, a symbol of abundance and good harvests, brought goose to the table to mark the end of autumn harvests. This tradition continues today, inspiring us to savor this seasonal delicacy. At Stolica Restaurant in Warsaw’s Old Town, we've prepared exceptional goose specialties to honor this day in a sophisticated and flavorful way.
Our Seasonal Menu: Smoked Goose Breast with Unique Flavors
Our autumn menu features two unique goose dishes, introduced permanently for the season, so our guests can enjoy them throughout the entire autumn. The first is smoked goose breast served on a silky forest fruit mousse with a touch of horseradish, fresh fig, and aromatic pickles. This dish offers a harmonious blend of smoky, earthy, and subtly sweet flavors that enhance the tenderness of smoked goose—a perfect choice for those who wish to taste the true flavors of fall.
Comfort in Every Bite: Confit Goose Leg with Autumnal Accents
The second option is our confit goose leg, served with homemade dumplings, caramelized pear, and a tangy blackcurrant sauce, embodying the very best of comforting Polish cuisine in its autumnal glory. The tender, juicy meat pairs perfectly with the sweet pear and bold blackcurrant, creating a rich, satisfying experience for the palate. We warmly invite you to Stolica—here, you can celebrate the flavors of St. Martin’s Day not only on November 11 but throughout the entire season.
