Every time my husband and I visit Cracow we go to Balaton and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh and flavorful. It's one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. In the entire New York City we didn't find a restaurant that would serve Hungarian food as good as Balaton. Highly recommend!

Goulash soup
Chung L.

Balaton is very much an institution in Krakow. The first time I ate here was fifteen years ago. Sadly, it has become little more than a tourist trap. The place is best known for two dishes: potato pancakes with goulash and goulash soup. The former, płacki po węgiersku in Polish, is a common dish in this country. What is served here isn't better than what you can get at a milk bar like U Babci Malina--at half the price. Portions used to be massive but that is no longer the case. With the goulash soup they've also cut corners, substituting beef with pork. Balaton is good place for larger groups. They have little problem accommodating a table of ten or more. The place can get incredibly loud if you chance upon a group of Italian tourists. If you're looking for a more intimate dining experience I'd recommend going somewhere else.

Hungarian Style potatoe pancakes (250g)
Robert H.

English: Fantastic potatoe pancakes. I go to Balaton every time I visit Krakow. I generally don't like this type of food, but the quality of the sauces and finished product is just superb. I can't speak to any other dish however. Polish: Restauracja którą chętnie odwiedzam podczas każdego pobytu w Krakowie. Pyszne jedzenie, od dań głównych po dodatki. Nawet zbyt lubiane przeze mnie placki ziemniaczane tam smakują wyśmienicie. Serdecznie polecam!
