I wish I had been brave enough to explore, but when I'm traveling somewhere I don't speak the language I'm always terrified of having someone yell at me for some faux pas while I stare at them blankly. Do note that the hot chocolate is drinking chocolate, not cocoa. It's basically hot, runny pudding - I know that sounds terrible, it's not at all, it's delicious, but it's very, very rich. A great place to cozy up out of the cold for a chat, or to read.

It's self-service and there are plenty of tables. It's very clean inside. I ordered the pickled vegetables but they didn't have them and the woman was so apologetic. I told her it was no problem. They have a handful of herring flavours (maybe 8-10 total) varying from traditional to experimental. I opted for one of the more unusual ones - the Thai flavoured. I was shocked at how good the Thai flavours were!! It was like having curry from a Thai restaurant. It also complemented the herring so well which I wasn't expecting. The herring itself was different from the pickled, slimy herring I've had before. It was more of a baked/flaky fish. I actually preferred that. It also came with complimentary bread which I wasn't expecting. The bread was just okay (pretty dry) but I used it to mop up the extra curry sauce. The herring + a vodka was 30 PLN. Maybe a bit costly but not bad! Overall would recommend!

Seating is challenging as there's very few indoor seats available. While outdoor seating is available, there are a lot of smokers, and you're crammed into limited outdoor space. It gets crowded, especially when they block off some reserved tables. The metal chairs are packed into tight quarters, and I constantly bumped into people getting in and out of seat. Despite the unpleasant seating experience, I had the most delicious herrings and enjoyed the sauces here! The MUST ORDER item is The Herrings Platter, which has 4 flavors: Mustard (mustard seed and honey sauce), Yellow (curry raisins and honey), Hot & Spicy (abodabo chipotles), Pink (beetroots and cream). Baked Penne with Chicken was mediocre, but portion size was generous.

I ordered a mulled wine to warm up but they had just served the last glass. I then asked if they had a wine list, and the answer was a straight "no", without any discussion of the wines on offer. So I stood awkwardly for a few seconds and then asked for a red wine. The barman produced three bottles and talked me through them, which is where the service perked up a little. I chose the Polish wine as why not, you don't see a lot of wine from Poland in the UK. This was 14PLN for a small glass and was pretty good, however the cold temperature and chilly atmosphere meant we headed off after one drink. If this was local to me I would probably spend more time here sampling wines and cheeses. If you're in the area anyway on a trip to Kraków I'd say call in, but don't make it a destination.

I definitely recommend it for warm days and nights - perfect place for a date or just a relaxed conversation.

The toasted cheese sandwiches here are fantastic at 8 Zloty (four pieces of bread). There are a few other bar snacks available too, such as smalec (pork fat on bread served with gherkins) to help you soak up the alcohol. Beer is mid-priced ie around 7 or 8 zloty per half litre. On the downside, this place only has one toilet which can occasionally mean a long wait in line.

Chosen by our son who decided to try the homemade lemonade (came with a sugar rim) and the pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce. The potatoes that accompanied it were like fried chips.

Our waitress didn't know much English which is fine, but she blatantly ignored a lot of what we had to say/ asked for. At the end of the night we wanted some dessert to go, we asked if we could get some ice cream because they had a case of it inside and she said no they couldn't do that. Okay, we asked for one of the desserts instead- a banana split type thing which said it came with three flavors of ice cream and some toppings. We asked if we could choose the flavors and she said no .... why couldn't we choose the flavors? Are they pre-made? It was very confusing. We also asked if we could take the dessert to go as we were tired from our day of traveling and wanted to enjoy it in our hotel room. She said no they couldn't do that but they could give us a to go box ...... so essentially, she brought the ice cream to us out on a plate, and we just dumped it into a to go container. They couldn't do that themselves ???? It was very strange and the waitress didn't seem to be interested in actually doing her job.
