We went to this restaurants after reading a review on Trip Advisor. I am Coeliac and was finding it difficult trying to find a decent restaurant. The food was amazing and so was the service. I had the Duck and my partner chose the Wild...Boar. The meats were cooked to perfection. We also had a dessert each. I chose the Advocat cake, which was amazing, very tasty and my partner had Creme Brûlée, which he thoroughly enjoyed. If I ever Krakow again, I would most definitely visit this restaurant.More

We went to this restaurant because of coeliac needs and recommendations. When we arrived we asked if we minded storing our rucksacks as we were on the way to the station. From that moment we were treated rudely . We were not shown the wine...menu and when asking for more drinks they went to get water without giving us options. When we tried to ask what dishes were we were told in a patronising manner . The food when it arrived was absolutely delicious just such a shame we were treated as we were by staff. Safe for coeliacs just don’t take any luggage !More

Our dinner (2 couples) was so good, we went back 2 days later for lunch. The service is impeccable and Voltek is one of the best waiters ever. One of our party has celiac and the option to have so many dishes prepared gluten free...(including pierogis and breaded cutlet!) was fantastic. Whether gluten free or regular, every single dish was so flavorful and delicious that there wasn't a drop left. I highly recommend the pierogis, the stuffed cabbage, the potato pancake and any of the soups, but especially zurek (sour soup). Now that's just for starters. Seriously, you cannot go wrong with any dish from our experience (as we tasted many different options with 4 people and 2 meals). The wine list complemented the food beautifully and the beers were good too, but make sure you ask for any one of the flavors of the homemade vodka to complete your Poland experience.More

Originally booked this restaurant because of its proximity to our hotel. We enjoyed our first meal so much we went again. Over the two visits we had venison, wild boar and duck breast as main courses, all were excellent and my wife said the duck...was the best she'd ever had. The staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. If we go back to Krakow we will visit again and highly recommend this restaurant.More

We visited as two couples for our first evening meal in Krakow and chose this restaurant as one of the few near our apartments. We asked if there was a table for 4 and the waiter/manager asked if we had booked. I said no and...he rolled his eyes, grunted and went off to look in the restaurant. Now this unwelcoming 'greeting' would normally have been enough for me to walk out but we waited. A table was indicated and we sat down. On scanning the menu I immediately noticed that there was no food of my choice, (I don't do meat,fish, gluten-free or vegan) so although the others all chose a full meal I asked if I may only have fries. We had a beer, which was served in chunky pint glasses, even for the ladies. The meals arrived and I received my small plate of chips. There were no condiments offered, or on the table. At no point did we receive a smile or a query as to whether everything was ok. The other three enjoyed the food, although they found the portions small and any sides/vegetables etc were all 'extra'. However, accepting that some customers may like the menu, I have never come across such surly and unfriendly staff anywhere on our travels. There was no ambience at all in the restaurant and it was not a pleasant experience. We decided to forego any further courses and were actually glad to leave. Goodness knows what the included 'service charge' is supposed to cover. (Happily, although it wasn't a good first experience of Poland, we loved Krakow and went on to find some lovely restaurants in this beautiful city)More

Great location, good choice of options on the menu, there is something for everyone. Food was delicious and great choice of flavours. I tried the mix dumplings to start and then the Venison which was incredible, and finished on the raspberry cake. All very enjoyable....My partner had the sausage soup, duck and chocolate and ginger cake. Again all very enjoyable, as I also tired and great flavours. The mains don’t come with sides so you have to choose them as extras, we went for the fried potatoes which we would highly recommend the cabbage and beetroot! All fantastic with flavour. We left content and happy we experienced this restaurant.More

This was on a list of restaurants with GF options from our hotel, and we called in without booking even though the place looked closed from the outside. Not busy (Friday late lunchtime), and got a table easily. Menu not extensive, but GF options clearly...marked. Food was excellent, and the service good. Nice desserts as well. Some strange art work on the walls, but a good choice.More

I’d researched gluten free inKrakow for our short break there and this restaurant came highly recommended. We weren’t disappointed - most of the menu is or can be gluten free so it meant I was able to try traditional Polish food like the pierogi. The...staff were really helpful and suggested ways my husband I could share different dishes to try a wider variety. Great to have a choice of desserts - the raspberry gateau was fab. I’ve only given 4 stars as my husbands boiled beef with veg was a bit boring - just potatoes and carrots, and my Schnitzel could have done with better accompaniments , though it was such a treat to have a gf breaded one.More

The worst service I’ve ever experienced! If you want to order only bigos and zurek, then be prepared that the waiter may not like it. He will walk around looking displeased and stare at you while you eat. It’ll be ok for him to put...the cup on your table with a loud sound and don’t even say 'Sorry'. The food was good, but I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.More

I'd wanted to visit this restaurant after reading reviews and I can honestly say I wasn't disappointed. Michal greeted us and was so attentive all through the meal, he was an absolute delight. The gluten free menu is extensive. They know what they are doing...and the Chef is top notch. I'd really wanted to try the dumplings so we ordered the cheese and meat as a mixture along with stuffed cabbage leaves. Heaven, that's it, heaven. Both were simply gorgeous. For the mains, I had Chicken in a herb sauce and my partner had Potato Pancakes with Goulash, both of which made up one of the best meals we've ever had. This restaurant offers exceptional food and Chef/kitchen team but, if you get the lovely Michal as your guide for the evening as well, he'll make sure you're happy, full and truly taken care of 😊 hope we get back for some more of those starters before we go home!More

Eating gluten free in Poland is not that easy. This restaurant made it not only easy but delicious. We ate there twice because I was so exited to have a menu with choices and to eat authentic Polish food that I cannot usually eat. The...staff is super knowledgeable about gluten and the menu is well marked. The GF pierogi were amazing. I ordered a second helping. The egg nog cake was crazy delicious.More
