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.

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.

My second time at this restaurant- I really enjoy their menu options and the homey atmosphere…read more Today, I arrived before the dinner rush so I was able to get a table for one. Also, there was a pianist playing holiday music among other notable tunes. Being here myself, it was nice to listen to. I ordered the pork chop, breaded and fried, with roasted potatoes. I also got a hot ginger beer. It's not the soda we have in the States - it's actually a beer with ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and clove. Since it's beer based, it's a little out of my comfort zone. I would normally like something like this if it were non-alcoholic and sweeter but it grew on me as I drank it. The pork chop was really good - very basic, comfort meal. There are a lot of choices in Krakow but since I just arrived and was hungry, I stopped in as I knew they had good food.

Stopped in here for a bite to eat and to unwind after the concentration camps. When we arrived,…read morethere was only one other table that was there. We were seated promptly by the window. Our server did come over and was attentive initially, but that completely fell off throughout the time we had our meal. We did try their homemade glass of wine, and it left a lot to be desired. Even though she explained it was a dry wine, it still tasted sweet and it was thick. It even had a strong after taste similar to cough syrup. The Pilsner was nice and cold. We did try the tomato soup and the garlic bread, which was good. We also tried the Hungarian Pancake and the Casserole. I ordered Hungarian and it was very flavorful as was the Casserole dish. Did I absolutely love either dish, I did not, but it was good. I truly think this is going to be an individual preference. What I will tell you is, the food will take 30+ minutes to come out, as they say it can take 45 minutes at the bottom of the menu. Make sure you have an appetite as they serve a LOT of food for your order.

Very nice clean restaurant kept in a Highlander stile, with a nice and quick service, and most of all, reasonable prices of an excellent food. I got a white borscht with kielbasa and egg and potato, plus a traditional lumberjack meal, small Tyskie beer and a glass of a bottled water for $12 plus. I couldn't make it even though I was hungry and the food was excellent!! I don't like a loud music in restaurants, here it is very gentle I've loved it. Nice surrounding of the restaurant as well

Have you seen Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" episode of Kraków? 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.

One of the best Polish regional restaurants in Zakopane!!…read more Karczma przy Młynie is located a little bit outside of the main town/main street of Zakopane, only 5 minutes away by car. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, the decor is very typical for the mountain region in Poland. Great heavy wooden tables and chairs, wood burning stoves, fireplaces, stone walls. Everything we ate in Karczma was delicious and the portions absolutely satisfying! We tried couple different dishes including potatoes, sausages, goulash, potato pancakes with mushroom sauce! Yum! - take a look at the pictures I uploaded :) The service was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Karczma przy Mlynie for your lunch or dinner when you're visiting beautiful Zakopane!

What makes this place special? A lot of things: - food is exceptional. Always fresh, always tasty, always special, made out of best local ingredients. The menu is not very long, but there's no chance you can try everything. Presentation of the food is excellent as well, it is being served on the world famous, hand made Boleslawiec pottery. - the place looks very nice. Old, wooden house well restored, you eat surrounded with wooden art forms made by some local artist - and a fireplace. And a playground for kids in the garden - and the pond, where the fishes live. - service is excellent as well. You are being waited by really beautiful women dressed in local, traditional dresses, the whole combination is just excellent. At the beginning I mentioned, that the place is worth a long drive. It's not entirely true - it's actually worth a flight. I mean it. I visit this place every singe time I drive by - for last ten years or so. And believe me, it's by no means easy to please me - yet they managed.
