Reviews
A decent restaurant in Kraków if you want to eat meat. The menu has many meat dishes, and the presentation felt a bit more formal compared with some other casual Polish restaurants. We tried the duck breast and pork ribs. Both tasted good, the meat was well cooked, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. However, the prices were higher than other places we tried in Kraków, so the overall value for money felt just average. A nice choice if you want a more proper meat-focused meal, but not the best option if you are mainly looking for a cheap and casual Polish restaurant.
We were here the other day and had a great meal. Got lucky and were seated downstairs. Had the kotlet schabowy with sauerkraut and potato. It was delicious. My wife had the borscht with pierogies and was also very good. Would like to go back and try their pierogies.
This is a great little breakfast spot in Kraków! We had a really tasty breakfast. Everything came out quickly, and the service was fast and friendly. It's the perfect place to grab a good meal and start the day right. I would happily come back! 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We decided to visit this restaurant after seeing it highly recommended on a specialized Bulgarian travel forum, and we certainly don’t regret the choice! The Food: The portions here are absolutely massive and incredibly delicious. While some dishes were slightly under-seasoned for my personal taste, it didn't take away from the quality of the meal at all. The Service: The staff was attentive and friendly, making for a very pleasant dining experience. The Timing: We chose to have an earlier dinner and managed to avoid the crowds. Keep in mind that during peak hours, long queues for a table are very common, so plan accordingly! A Few Minor Critiques While the meal was great, there were two small downsides: Seasoning: As mentioned, the food was a bit low on salt, though easily fixed at the table. Juice Pricing: The price of a single glass of pineapple juice was quite frankly ridiculous—€8? We are in Poland, not New York City! Final Verdict: Despite the overpriced juice, the food and service make this a must-visit. Just maybe stick to water or a beer with your meal!
I actually came here twice for dinner as I really enjoyed the food and the service the first time. I had the grilled chicken salad and flavour and size was just great. I also got a sort of pate with bread as a courtesy which was very nice. In my second visit I came to celebrate one of my friends birthday and everyone was satisfied and happy with the dishes we got! Authentic polish food, I strongly recommend this place
