    Right across the street from the American, German, and French embassies in Krakow is the Herring Embassy (Ambasada Sledzia)! I can't say I've seen many herring diplomats in suits walking around the city, but I also never would've imagined that there were so many different kinds of herring to try! The mixed herring plate came with four different selections from the menu. The "pink" came with a marinade made of beets and cream; the "mustard" came with a marinade of spicy mustard seed and honey; the "yellow" was a surprising marinade of curry, golden raisins, and honey; and the "hot and spicy" had a bold marinade of chipotles in adobo sauce! This selection reflected so many global flavors and influences, but my favorite was the "pink" for its creamy marinade and subtly sweet flavor. We also got the herring tartare, made of minced herring mixed with chopped pickles and served with horseradish, and the herring was served with two different kinds of bread (a regular white bread and a dense seeded Scandinavian-style bread) with butter, which went nicely with the fish and all the different marinades!

    If you want to try some good herring and beer this is the place! There's a good selection of cold and hot plates.

    Ambasador has expanded their menu. A number of non-fish items are now available. Sadly, they aren't terribly good. The maczanka looks great but tastes rather bland. The golonka, meanwhile, isn't freshly prepared and lacks favor. The ox tongue is well done, but the almond flakes are an annoying distraction. The only decent addition are the zapiekanki. which are casseroles with either pasta or potato. Stick with the dishes at or under 10 zł would be my recommendation.

    Great food but very crowded and lots of smokers around. To be fair, I did come on a weekend that Pope Francis was in town for WYD 2016. Ordered their of tongue with horseradish-almond sauce sided with potato puree (one sweet potato one white potato). This dish was tasty. Ambiance is low key and self served. Food is to be picked up your the bar. This place is loud so leave the kiddos at home!

    I made a few trips to Ambasada Śledzia in my time in Krakow. Despite being way too touristy and constantly crammed, I kept coming back for the cheap booze, good food and cool atmosphere. I suppose the same reasons attract the slew of obnoxious douchey backpackers. You can't visit this place and leave without ordering the pickled herring (śledź). It is their specialty and for good reason. Herring in mustard is probably the best of the bunch. If cold, raw textured fish isn't your idea of a chaser, you should try their Polish bites/tapas. All in all, it is a really cool place to hangout especially if you manage to grab a table on the patio.

    See all
