Reviews
A truly wonderful experience. The restaurant is cozy, with elegant yet unobtrusive service. The food is delicious, and the presentation of each dish is absolutely fantastic. It fully deserves its place in the Michelin Guide. Our waiter was very polite, and the whole dining experience felt seamless and special. Highly recommended!
Overall great experience in Kogel Mogel restaurant, tasty food, beautiful interior. Location is perfect, right in the city centre. Reducing one star for strange online table reservation system, after booking a table an email came to confirm it, but it was missing a link, so we replied to email and received undeliverable error. Same happened after the visit, we received an email to leave feedback, but again there was a link missing.
I had a couple of inexpensive meals in Krakow so I decided to try something upscale. I saw a bunch of the Michelin recommended decals on the outside of the restaurant but there was also a guy holding the restaurant menu on the street just like some tourist restaurants would do so I was a little confused. I was quickly seated because I was the first customer of the evening. A server brought the menu but did not explain if there was a special that I should try. I ordered the goose liver appetizer and the roasted duck which were both stated as recommended on the menu. The server who took my ordered just said good choice and that was it. The appetizer came quickly, look nice but only mediocre in my opinion. The goose liver mousse was fine but not special. There was a very small piece of bread on the plate, too small for all the mousse and the crumbly texture of the bread also not worked with the mousse. The duck also disappoints. The skin was not crispy and the meat stuck hard to the bones. The roasted apple pieces were good though and so was the sauce. The server never for once asked how my meal was. When I paid the server told me service was not included and if it was okay to add a 10% to the bill, I said fine. This was not the first time I was duped by Michelin and it probably is not going to be the last.
This place was insanely brilliant! 3 courses and 2 drinks for great value and it's a Michelin star restaurant. The food was amazing. you'll see my starter main and desert in the images! No complaints - just praise. The service brilliant too. They gave me recommendations on local foods and drinks! Really friendly as well! Finally the price was great value.... They definitely need to raise it because they are worth a lot more for sure. I will definitely visit again!
We enter this restaurant by mistake, just as a fact if being hungry and it was in our way... we weren't disappointed, it was the best decision of the day. We were seated although didn't reserve in advance, and pretty quickly got the menus. We took a plate of duck confi, and one of pork chop, with local wheat beer. It was delicious
