I was in Krakow on a month-long trip through Europe and was pleasantly surprised with not only the city of Krakow but also the restaurant scene. There were so many places to choose from and I feel very lucky that I stumbled upon Amarlyis during my search for a multi-course meal. I understand that this experience would be on the pricier side in Poland, however it was an extreme value as an American abroad. In my opinion, it was worth the price and more. A great value and I left the restaurant stuffed to the brim.

I went all out and had the larger tasting menu along with a wine pairing. Both were amazing. I mean, out of this world phenomenal. Highlights for me were the trout (and I'm typically not a trout girl but this was perfection) and the duck. I also enjoyed all of my wine pairings and was especially surprised by an Austrian wine!

Service was phenomenal. They were attentive, knowledgeable and kind. I've told so many of my friends that Krakow is a must visit in Central Europe and that Amarlyis must also not be missed.

Thank you for being a highlight of my Eurotrip!

We arrived over tired and underdressed after a delayed flight. It started well and deteriorated. After over 3 hours, the table next to us was through all 6 courses and was onto coffee and sweets. We had to ask for the 4th course after a 45 minute delay. The food was pleasant but not memorable. The waiters were lovely when they were serving us and I have no idea what caused the delays. The ambience was nice when the piano was playing. They need to scrap the background music they play when the piano isn't in use. It was painful 30 years ago. Bit of a lack of attention to detail when my sparking water glass was filled with un-carbonated water. They did offer wine and cocktails to make it right, but after 3.25 hours with course 5 only just arriving, we left. They did adjust the bill for what we had eaten, which was fair, but I would have preferred the full meal. And yes, I do enjoy a rest between courses, just not a short holiday. The husband and I felt too old, too scruffy and too English by the time we settled the bill. Not the "just us two" couples dinner to celebrate my birthday that had been intended.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience at our restaurant did not meet your expectations. As the manager, I take full responsibility for the delays and inconsistent service you experienced during your meal.

I apologize for the excessive wait times between courses, and for the background music that was not to your liking. I also regret that your sparkling water was served without carbonation - this is not up to our usual standards of attention to detail.

While we were glad to adjust your bill for the courses you had received, I understand that you would have preferred to enjoy the full meal you had planned for your birthday celebration. We should have done better to ensure that your dining experience was seamless and enjoyable.

We will take your feedback into account and work to improve our service and attention to detail in the future. I hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a positive dining experience.

Kindest Regards,
Karol Oślizło, F&B Manager

Amazing tasting menu . Wonderful flavour combinations . I don’t eat fish and the chef substituted with alternatives . We booked the four course menu but with all of the additions it’s more like 8/9 courses. The staff were knowledgeable and professional but also friendly and not pretentious . Will defiantly return if we come back to Poland , excellent value for money for a wonderful experience .
