our cuisine
In the heart of Rzeszów’s Old Town, at 4 Matejki Street, you’ll find KUK NUK – a place where tradition meets modernity.
Our kitchen is the creative vision of co-owner and head chef Maciej Stankiewicz, based on fresh, seasonal ingredients from trusted local suppliers across the Podkarpacie region – vegetables, breads, meats, and herbs.
Small and large plates – because flavour tastes better when shared
At KUK NUK, we serve both small and large plates – perfect for every appetite. It’s our tribute to those who love to try, share, and enjoy long meals with friends. This modern take on communal dining invites you to experience our menu like Polish-style tapas – order a few plates, share, and celebrate food at your own pace, with great company and good energy.
Drinks that make a difference
At KUK NUK, we take drinks just as seriously as our food. We serve homemade beverages made from natural ingredients, artisan kombucha, and matcha for superfood lovers. In the evening, we shake up original cocktails inspired by fresh herbs, house-made syrups, and local flavors. You’ll also discover regional craft beers, wines from the nearby Pradolina vineyard, and specialty coffee from Rzeszów’s own Momento roastery.
A seasonal menu
Our menu evolves with the seasons, allowing us to serve dishes that are close to nature and close to people. We combine authentic local flavors with modern culinary techniques such as sous-vide cooking – giving classic ingredients a fresh, contemporary twist.
Charcoal-grilled burgers
Our burgers are the perfect blend of tradition and modern flavor. Prepared from juicy, seasoned meat using our own recipe and served in buttery buns baked fresh daily by a local bakery – they’re one of our signature offerings.
Family-friendly atmosphere
We care not only about flavor, but also about creating a welcoming environment. That’s why we’ve created a cozy kids’ corner where little ones can play and draw while parents enjoy their meals in peace. Join us for a family lunch – we offer both comforting classics for kids and creative options for adults. KUK NUK is a place to gather around the table – unhurried, delicious, and relaxed.
Inspired by the world’s best cuisines
From Mediterranean to Asian to modern Polish – our menu is all about bold creativity and balanced fusion. We care deeply about presentation too – because for us, a great dish should be a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
Steaks we’re proud of
Our partner, Bieszczadzkie Steki, supplies us with premium, dry-aged beef from carefully selected regional farms. Each cut is matured in controlled conditions to bring out maximum flavor, tenderness, and aroma. It’s steak at its finest – no compromises, just pure satisfaction for true meat lovers.
We work with local suppliers to serve the very best.
Here’s what you’ll find in our kitchen:
- Bieszczady Steaks – dry-aged, top-quality beef
- Burger buns from Krupa Bakery – freshly baked right next door
- Vegetables from the local market – guaranteed freshness

Sharing the flavor
– our philosophy
Our menu invites you to gather around the table and share the joy of eating.
We serve dishes in the form of small plates – perfect for tasting, passing around, and discovering flavors together – and large plates for when you’re really hungry!
Order, taste, share – because the best moments are born at the shared table.
