The staff are all very friendly and professional and have in depth knowledge of the menu. This was particularly helpful when trying to understand some of the menu that I was unfamiliar with. We ended up ordering one order of their meat pierogis and one order of their cheese and potato pierogis. They gave a portion of 10 pierogis and they were very filling. We also got their żurek and barszcz soups and all were super flavorful and light. Overall this place is a solid spot and I would come back.

This Polish restaurant featured duck and that's what brought me in…read more I arrived for a late lunch without a reservation but was seated immediately. There were two rooms and I sat in the long one (the ceiling arc reminded me of a tunnel for some reason) with the duck mural. The menu contained lots of Polish dishes and a dedicated duck section. A duck and pickles appetizer was served gratis. It spread easily on the accompanying slices of bread and was nice. I've not had duck presented like this before and when I piled a couple of the smaller pickle pieces on top the tartness added more complexity for the flavors. I'd order this if it was on their menu. Zurek soup tasted a little tangy and was filled with sausage, mushroom, potatoes plus a whole egg and was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but all the different ingredients made for an enjoyable bowl. The bread bowl also contributed by thickening the soup as it abosrbed the broth. The duck breast with smoked plum sauce was thick, cooked medium and very tender. There was a little too much sauce for me but I liked the different taste. The side of glazed carrots and peas had a hint of sweetness and completed the dish along with the potato gnocchi. Service overall was good and efficient. Would return.

My friend and I were in Krakow for just a few hours so thanks to Yelp, we stumbled upon this gem. I…read moreordered the Ruski Pierogi (cottage cheese, potato, and fried onion) and potato pancakes. The pierogi came with 9 pieces and the potato pancakes included 3 large pancakes. I am from the United States so I can honestly say these were the best pierogi I've ever had (and my grandparents made great pierogi!) The service was attentive and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We dined around 4pm so we were seated right away but we were told that the other side of the restaurant was already booked for reservations starting at 5. I suggest making a reservation if you plan on dining at a typical dinner time. This was also on a Tuesday so I imagine they are quite busy throughout the week as well.

Really cool place for those that like soups. Each week (from…read moreThursday to Wednesday) there are new 8 different types of soups to choose from. They are served in plastic beverage cups with a toast as an addition. You can eat at the place or simply take the food to go. Apart from soups there are also some warm snacks. I allready tried their 2 soups: chilli con carne soup and spicy thai coconut soup - both tasty! The stuff is nice and smiley. The venue is cosy, but rather small - seating places for around 10 persons. During the night (especially on the weekends) it might get crowdy there.

So make sure your reservation is for where you want to sit! I had to try the homemade vodka. Got the apple and cinnamon, wow sweet and warm! Cheers. Lovely bread with a dip that has hints of chives and red pepper corns. We had to start with Mix dumplings- ruskie ( potato and cheese), spinach, beef cheeks. No favorites yet the best porgies we have had in Krakow . They are all delightful. My wife loved the spinach. Great way to start for two people. My wife had the chicken breast and I had the pork tenderloin. My wife thought the chicken was great and enjoyed the parsnips. The pork's is fantastic! You can't go wrong! Enjoy. My only negative is the selection of music playing. It is more modern and rocking than seems fitting for this very elegant restaurant. But did not ruin our experience.

Located right next to the synagogue behind weathered wooden business facades of days gone by, one can break down the imaginary walls that never really divided this community and dine across multiple businesses of the period. A tailor, a carpenter, and more lend their business space to a restaurant serving gefiltefish, spiced chicken hearts, matzo bread, and other Jewish and Polish delicacies. Enjoy it with vodka amid the fun Klezmer celebration music that pipes through the five shops, or come in the evenings when they have live music.

How is this restaurant (Once Upon a Time in Kazimierz) not packed night in and night out!?…read more First of all, the ambiance is superb. Warm light from candles everywhere makes you feel so at home. The restaurant spans four old shops (a grocery store, a carpenter's workshop, a tailor's shop, and a general store) and they have kept a lot of the original items as cute decor. This is really hard to describe as I have never seen anything like it before. You really have to be there to experience it. Plus we were treated to live music the entire night it was simply wonderful. Next, the service from their wait staff was superb as well. Our waitress spoke perfect English and patiently explained the menu (which is super cute; see photos) to us. She was attentive but never intrusive. The whole wait staff (two of them) made us feel like family. Finally, the food was fantastic. Their Polish-Jewish menu had many traditional items (e.g. pierogi's and leg of lamb) as well as more adventurous ones (e.g. goose maw and fried liver). Everything we ordered from pierogis to turkey breast to Jewish stew was fantastic including the garlic soup and mulled wine. Oh, especially the garlic soup! Again... how is this restaurant not packed night in and night out?

Overall, I enjoyed dining at Restaurancia Polska, but it's not a place I would go out of my way to visit.

This is…read morethe restaurant in that episode that shows the making of their famous cabbage rolls (Gołąbki). I was curious about the delicate cabbage leaves that look like the wings of its namesake (little doves or pigeons). It was everything I thought it would be, and more. I'm so glad that we tried them. It's popular for a reason. I really appreciated the fresh mushrooms, and the filling of buckwheat. It made the rolls so light. It felt like comfort food at its best. Very delicious! They can make them gluten-free as well. In fact, the menu has a lot of options for those with dietary restrictions. They'll ask you right away if you have any allergies to certain foods. The service was great. Everything was explained very well. We couldn't pass up dessert. They all looked so good. My husband decided to get the Basque Cheesecake. It's not on the menu, but they'll let you know if it's available by request. I was tossed between the Egg Nog Cake and the Chocolate Cherry Cake. Both have some form of liquor in it. The Egg Nog Cake or Ajerkoniakowy Tort was my absolute favorite of the 2 desserts. I really liked the eggnog filling. I'd think it would be rum (like the Polish Kogel Mogel punch), but we were told that the vodka works better in their recipe. They were right. It's definitely heavenly. What I love is that there were more locals eating there. I didn't see any tourists. It's kind of off the beaten path. We decided to head on over to Kazimierz since it's not very far from this resraurant. It all worked out perfectly. I'd love to return one day to try other menu items. Everything looked great.
