It is an amazing place ! Right in the center of Kazimierz district is this superb restaurant. Design is rather modern and elegant, but not posh, what I like. Service is super professional and despite we were there with a group of 10 persons, everyone has got everything on time and all dishes were served together for all of us.
I must mention also a profound knowledge of a sommelier who convinced us to order fantastic Austrian Gruener Veltiner and American Zinfandel, telling us very interesting stories about each winery.
Food - what can I say. If a 10 persons orders starters, mains and desserts and all of us were delighted with a taste and presentation of an ordered food, this is the best opinion, that FOLGA is an superb place for foodies. We have ordered almost all available starters to share and all of them were super tasty. I personally placed tempura shrimp on the top position, but as I said earlier, everything was top quality. Than the main courses still were kept on the highest level, with a special attention to a grilled octopus and rose veal. Last but not least I have to make you aware that it is a good idea to leave some space for a desserts, especially tarta tatin. I’m so happy that at the beginning of March, I’ll be again at Cracow and it’s 100% guarantee that I’ll visit FOLGA again

Maybe we made the wrong choice, but the tasting menu was nothing special and way too expensive for what it was.
Some of the waitresses are quite unprofessional too.
Asking if everything is ok just for the sake of doing it and then making an annoyed face saying “ok” when the customers tell you what could be improved and what was good it’s pretty miserable. If one means it, they would ask if the customers want to speak to the chef.
All over, an average experience.

"Folga" - I heartily recommend!!!! High culinary culture. It is worth spending time there with your loved ones, because it is a unique place and a treat for gourmets. Great cuisine and unpretentious style, and on the map of Krakow it is an oasis of good taste and creation for me! Well done to the owner for the idea and execution! This is my great discovery! The concept of small portions! Top-notch flavors! A selection of dishes for vegetarians. Possibility to enjoy the moment and have a conversation (no loud music). Finally, Kazimierz has an elegant, intimate and cozy place. An excellent team and a great Chef Tomasz Tracz - experienced and taking care of everything: every detail and composition of the menu, products - the best and fresh, execution, order and way of serving dishes. What I ate was light and delicate, the taste of all the dishes enchanted me with purity and simplicity - the aroma of each ingredient used was perceptible - the composition of the taste of the dishes was well thought-out - and the effect is bliss and delight of the palate :) The perfect portion size, you can share with an accompanying person. And everything is tasty, beautiful in its simplicity and modest - without "flaunting" the experience of the Chef from star restaurants. The advantage is the lightness and richness of flavors - as well as an intimate atmosphere, which is hard to find in the heart of Krakow's Kazimierz. I recommend to everyone! Especially those thirsty for good cuisine in a noble edition and the best performance! My feast of flavors lasted 4 hours! The tasting menu in the fish version is a wonderful experience - original design - I liked everything - I remember in particular my favorite ones - brilliantly presented scallops, turbot, truffles, shrimps and a delicate finish of the dishes with subtle drops of sauces - all with Parisian elegance, refinement and atmosphere and great service. The perfect end of the evening for me was a refreshing vanilla sorbet with bison vodka - and three tiny cookies - each with a different original flavor. Desserts are also masterful :) For this I chose quality green tea. The fish dishes were complemented by a very good white wine. I remembered everything - also the delicious bread baked on the spot. I especially appreciate Folga for the concept and effect - and the people working there for the passion and heart put into creating the genius loci of Kazimierz - the excellent taste of dishes, simplicity and selection of dishes in the vegetarian tasting menu (with the addition of fish and seafood). Folga is a dream place - this evening was a great and tasty joy for me. Thank you very much for these experiences! I would like to add that you can also organize small meetings and family celebrations in Folda, as well as casual pleasant afternoons with friends :) the rooms on the first floor are conducive to intimacy and peace. The staff will advise and take care of the guests' comfort. I will be going back there :) and I planned the next visit with my husband.
