A small restaurant very close to Rynek Główny with an extensive menu, excellent, generous dishes, and truly affordable prices. If you want to avoid the typical tourist traps, this restaurant in the heart of the historic center is an excellent option.
A bustling and vibrant cafe with great food and great service. We ordered the Camembert, pierogi and pancake with feta and spinach. Every dish was fresh and tasty and the pierogi were up there with the best we’ve had. Getting a table is tricky, but it was worth the wait.
Best milk bar in krakow after trying them all in the surrounding area. The fried dumplings are were particularly amazing as many milk bars in the area don’t offer the fried variation. Great experience, would return again!
There was a queue at the entrance so we had to wait 10-15 minutes to get in. There was also a queue to place the order to the cashier, had to wait about 10 minutes. The staffs were very friendly. Their homemade lemonade were excellent, i just wish the size of the drink was a bit bigger. It was super refreshing. Then the food arrived, it was very tasty. Tried the dumplings and daily specials (Roasted Chicken leg). Portion size was good enough for one person, foods were very tasty, very flavourful. Went for the lunch at 2 pm, the place was full of people and it felt quite warm inside the restaurant. I think going in the afternoon or evening would feel much more comfortable. Worth waiting!
We turned up for lunch and the place was full. We were very politely asked to wait outside as it is very small inside. We had to wait no longer than 10 minutes. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food came in good time and was good honest food and the price was good. I would highly recommend this place.
I really enjoyed both breakfasts and lunches here. The staff are very friendly and personable, I was very impressed that they remembered me the second time I came back. The lunch special in particular is great value for money, it includes soup and a main course. I felt full for the rest of the day after this meal. A really highly recommended place to come. Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and service.
That good we went twice!! Amazing food here, lots to choose from and portion sizes are so big! Friendly staff! Had to queue for a while to get a seat but it is so worth it!
Lovely small place with great service good prices and fantastic food. We had to wait roughly 10-15min to be seated. Food was served within reasonable time. Overall highly recommend. Well we went the second time... Again the food was absolutely worth the wait!!!
