Came for a late lunch and the place was not too full (we hadn't booked). NIce welcome and despite the gripes in other reviews thought the service was great - friendly and checked a couple of times to see things were okay. Portion size on...the large side definitely. Straightforward rustic Polish fare but served us well. Extremely good value given it is mere minutes from the main square where prices tend to be high for Krakow. Would recommend.More

This is a fantastic place to eat, feels authentic. Worst news- THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE! So, either don’t eat lunch during the day and then have 3 courses…. Or feel like the Michelin man when leaving- you’ve been warned! Seriously though, it’s tasty stuff! We...spent approx 280zl for two of us (absolute steal!)More

I have known Polish cuisine for more than 30 years… being French. This restaurant offers a wide variety of genuine Polish dishes. Each and everyone is really perfect. Even the house wine.

As with most restaurants in Krakow small entrances and alleys lead to nicer things, don’t be scared. Once located it’s set up in a very traditional feel, almost Austrian look. Menus are quite traditional, don’t expect burgers and pizza, but equally you’re not going to...be eating tripe or other. Choosing sausage and egg rye soup in a bread cob and local pate Main was local sausage I chose baked potato expect jacket potato but turned out to be oven wedges my partner had a Polish stew also in a bread basket. A bottle of wine and 1 beer All the food was an excellent quality, young polite staff and came to around £50-55 The location is a 2min walk from the centre of the square, on the west sideMore

I was a little bit skeptic after reading the last reviews but honestly I have a great dinner. Nice service, friendly staff, quick. Food definitely good, portions big, price ok. A very nice dinner in the terrace on the back. Totally recommended

I wanted to give the best rating but to be honest I should give the worst. Food was very tasty, lunch option menu great but service was good until I needed to pay. It costed only 35 PLN. I told waitress to give me back...60 from given 100 pln and waitress sugested that maybe 50? This is scandalous and management should prohibit such suggestions.More

Decided to try this restaurant as I was passing. To be honest the welcome wasn’t exactly friendly and I felt like I was a bit of an inconvenience walking in even though it was very quiet. A man appeared who looked more in charge and...had a much better attitude which was nice. I ordered the goulash and potato pancakes, I have to say, I have had much better elsewhere and found some of the meat a little tough. Service did improve during the my time there, not sure if it was connected to the fact they realised I could speak and understand some Polish. Overall, would I visit again, probably not.More

Had our first traditional polish meal and it did not disappoint. All waiting staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. We were seated and served quickly. For starter the selection of mini soups is a great way to try polish soups for the first time. The...main meals were all fantastic, we all tried each others and agreed it was some of the best food we had in Poland! The house white wine was also lovely. The portions were huge which meant there was lot of food left over! Couldn't believe the portions. Had a fantastic time, great atmosphere.More

Few years ago we were costumers of this restaurant every time we were in Krakow. We had a really great associations with this place, so for todays special occasion we booked a table for two in advance. When we came to the restaurant, we were...met by a waiter with awful attitude towards us. He offered us a place near toilet, them he offered a place near the entrance door. The other waitress was also extremely rude, as she started to scream that she does not has a free tables, however almost all tables were free. We were very sad that they ruined our special night and we had to leave the restaurant in a bad mood. Its a petty that the host of the restaurant does not know about the disgusting attitude of his workers.More

Although reservations are recommended, I was able to walk in and get seated right away, perhaps because I was dining alone. I ordered the roast duck, served with dumplings, an excellent sour cherry, apple and pear sauce, and really yummy red cabbage. The bread was...also very good, and the service was excellent.More

Having been here many times before and enjoyed the food, our return visit - after 3 years - was extremely disappointing. The beef(!) goulash was very tough, could hardly cut it never mind chew it. We ate the most edible pieces, and when we complained...at the end of the meal were told we should’ve complained at the time so were not willing to make a deduction despite leaving 3 really tough pieces for the chef to eat, because we couldn’t! They weren’t interested as tourists continue to flock. Lots of other places to eat where the food and goodwill are far superior!More

This restaurant was referred to us by my local colleagues and I could read some very positive recommendations ... and all got confirmed. This is a place you must visit for a true polish cuisine experience of high standards. ,The restaurant is very warmly decorated...and furbished with old style elements. the atmosphere is great. the menu tells it all: you will have a large choice of typical polish food that can meet all needs. The food is just succulent and ingredients are cooked and presented to perfection. the portions are large and generous for a very reasonable price. The wine and beers list is also a delighted and one will find the he is looking for to accommodate the dishes in best possible way. One element to the care is the service which although is was ver friendly and helpful, could have been a bit more professional ... but the people were so sympathetic that is is a minor default. Please give it a try if you are passing by the beautiful city of Krakow. it is very highly recommended to book a table and to note that service usually stops early. Finally, prices are of great return on value for such a restaurant that is listed in traveler's choice.More
