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 !

This iconic spot is a simple food truck run by two guys. One expertly grilling the kielbasa over an open flame, while the other keeps the line moving by serving customers. Their menu is refreshingly straightforward: one type of kielbasa, served either with or without a roll, plus one type of soda. No frills, just perfection. They're open late, from around 8:00 PM until 2:00 or 3:00 AM, making it a must-visit for both locals and visitors looking for an unforgettable late-night bite in Kraków. We arrived at about 8:10 PM and were greeted by an already long line, but it moved surprisingly quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for a meal this memorable. If you're in Kraków, this legendary kielbasa stand is an absolute must-try!

The foliage hanging from the metal ceiling beams, wooden trim, and cement flooring give off a very cool and relaxed studio atmosphere. We went on Wednesday evening and it wasn't crowded at all. The garden area in front looked very charming with all the greenery, but we decided to dine indoors because of the humid weather. Wait time was short. For drinks I got the jasmine iced tea and my mom got the aperol spritz. Both were refreshing after such a hot day . For the food, I got the salmon Tropico and my mom got the chicken Milanesa. Both were splendid dishes! I just wish the portion sizes were bigger, but the combination of succulent meats, savory sauces, and sautéed vegetables was all together scrumptious. The chicken came in a hearty tomato sauce and was drizzled with Parmesan cheese. The salmon came with a dollop of pesto and sautéed veggies. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant for a laid back dining experience near the Schindler Factory in beautiful Krakow.

We sat outside which was a great little courtyard covered by umbrellas for the days sun & heat. We got mixed perogies (this is the only place we've been that lets you order multiple kinds on one plate, half roasted duck and Golabki (meatballs rolled inside cabbage). Perogies were fresh and tasty with spinach/cheese being our favorite. Other offers were potato and cheese, and meat. You can get either mushroom sauce or tomato sauce on the Golabki and I was so torn my waitress brought me both so I could compare. The mushroom sauce was delicious on its own but I enjoyed the tomato sauce more with the Golabki which is filled with meat and rice. (This is definitely a smaller dish than some other menu items with only two Golabki being served). The half roast duck was a large portion of food with potatoes. Duck was moist and tender but my husband who fancies himself a duck snob didn't like the preparation. This is going to be more of a Peking duck style of dish then French sear and serve rare. The children's breaded chicken was some of the best breaded chicken I have ever eaten. If you bring a kid force them to order that and then eat half of it hahaha! It appeared that the most popular item there was their duck burgers as I saw many a plate of that pass by our table. I would venture back to give one of those a try!

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.

Jajka, kiełbaski, pieczywo, boczek, ziemniaki śniadaniowe i butelka nieodzownego sosu HP na każdym stole. A wszystko za 10 złotych. Do tego kawusia z dolewką za 6eczkę i jestem ok na pół dnia. Oprócz śniadań drugim najjaśniejszym punktem są żeberka (szczególnie w poniedziałki i wtorki, kiedy ich cena spada na 23 plny) podawane ze stosem frytek, coleslawem(dobrym) i połową kolby kukurydzy. Co mi się nie podoba to nie wiadomo dlaczego wiecznie zamknięta góra knajpy, to że kawa była kiedyś do śniadania gratis, a juz nie jest, że dolewka przysługuje tylko do śniadania (z jakiej racji, to nie wie nawet wąsaty harleyowiec przy barze) i okazyjne humory obsługi.
