It occupies a former synagogue in the hip Kazimierz (Jewish Quarter) section of a city balancing ancient architecture, tragic history, and redemption. It's not the airy tourists traps of the main square and the menu ain't an American coffee shop. Go here at least when tuckered by the long cobblestone night walks for beer and fries and the gizzards if needing that fix. Absorb the hip vibe, and get another cold beer and wine.

Our group had a G&T, Prosecco , French 75 and a Negroni. All made well but did take awhile to come out. We also ordered some carbs ! Fries and their traditional mushroom Zapikanki, which translates to mushroom casserole. Even though it comes on bread! This is delicious ! Creamy buttery mushrooms with cheese and greens in top. Yum. Nice thick cut fries too. Glad we checked this place out. It was a little loud and the device a little slow. Definitely a happening place though !

I would say Poland definitely is and has a world class soup culture, they take soups very seriously there. The mushroom soup I had was like no other I've ever had anywhere absolutely phenomenal!!

It is conveniently located near the main square and there is an outdoor market in the Jewish Quarter right outside. The decor is very rustic and retro, so totally fits the Polish mood.

The portions are perfect and the food is tasty and creatively plated, yet the interior has a casual and contemporary, inviting vibe. It reminds me of some of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, Oakland or New York.

The restaurant itself is quite small with limited seating, so it's common to find a line, especially during peak hours.
