We visited 2 weeks ago, after we learned the husband of manager is Greek. Amazing Restaurant!
Can’t say enough about the”Black Duck”. The menu choices are broad enough to have something for everybody but limited enough that they can excel in what they offer. The roasted half duck with mushroom sauce was incredible. They also do a great job with pork. Soup inside the bread is amazing! Good for me, was the only restsurant where we found no gas no flavour water (Is hard to find in Krakow). Service is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Be sure to make a reservation because this place is no secret. Ροδίτη σε ευχαριστούμε που μας βόλεψες χωρίς κράτηση και για την υπέροχη εμπειρία, φαγητό και για τα μέρη που πρότινες να δούμε. Είστε λόγος για να ξαναρθούμε στην Κρακοβία!

We came to the restaurant for our last evening in Krakow as an early celebration evening for my husband. We had the starter for 2 and the duck for 2 and wow the food was amazing. Service was excellent and a lovely setting for a meal. Would highly recommend.

This place is Incredible. Just outside the market square this place is a must visit! First of all the value for money is unbelievable and the food is absolutely amazing!

We had a long day out at Auschwitz, so headed out for dinner slightly later that Evening. We were greeted by a lovely man who was very welcoming and considering we were there only 30 minutes before the kitchen closed we were not made to feel rushed at all. We wanted to try some local cuisine and were recommended the polish soup and dumplings to start which was delicious. (so yummy infant, we didn't get a picture)

We then ordered a carafe of the house wine which was yummy before deciding on the mains ( again we had plenty of time to decide what to have for mains, which was a very nice touch by the staff and made us instantly feel comfortable)

The staff that spoke to us through our visit were all so lovely, especially the young guys working there were very attentive and friendly. We eventually chose a duck dish and goulash for mains (see photos below) Both great and so flaversome, complements to the chef. The quality of food was simply outstanding. The price even better.

You need to visit for so many reasons! Staff, Food, Value etc....

We came here a few years ago and loved the food and atmosphere and wanted to come back with friends.
We were a little early for our booking but it was not a problem and after a little wait we were seated in the main restaurant area. It's gone a little more upmarket since our last visit and i was a little worried it wouldn't be the same but it was all fabulous.
Out waitress was lovely and attentive and explained all the dishes in detail.
We had the set of starters for two between us which was delicious and gave us a little taste of everything.
Two of us had the Old Polish style duck with blackcurrant sauce, one had the Cracovian duck with mushroom sauce and one had the meat and rice stuffed kale leaves with mushroom sauce. We had 2 portions of the Pan friend potatoes with bacon as a side between us. All were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked.
We asked for a recommendation for a red wine and the waitress advised a local dry Srebrna Gora which was perfect. We were too full for desert but finished the meal with a complimentary shot of their own plum vodka
Starters, 4 main meals, 2 glasses of prosecco, 2 large beers, a good bottle of red wine with 5 star service worked out at under £30 a head, this is classed as expensive in Krakow but worth every penny!!
