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.

Perhaps we visited at a particularly slow time, however this place really lacked any sort of…read moreatmosphere. It was quite cold inside and the service wasn't super friendly. 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.
