The name of this establishment can be translated roughly as "Pork Knucklery". Pork knuckles--or ham…read morehocks--is what they do. For fans of the dish, Golonkarnia is a great place to be. I happened to feel like pigging out one afternoon, so I ordered their signature dish: the roasted golonka with crunchy skin. It arrived quicker than I anticipated. The pork knuckle came on a cutting board, with knife and fork stuck into it (see picture). It was huge: two people would struggle to finish it. The skin was suitably crunchy, while the meat was soft with just the right amount of fat. Grease was oozing out as I cut it, so I had to constantly soak it up with pieces of bread. Fine dining it isn't but that's the point. In the end, I finished less than half. The helpful lady running the place packed the leftover in a foil and I was eating golonka the next couple days. The other golonka plates come in more reasonable portion. I've tried the po staropolsku and it's very tasty. If pork knuckle is not your thing, their non-pork dishes are also quite good. The beef goulash here is among the best I've eaten in the city. If ox tongue is your thing, they make a very good one. Golonkarnia is located slightly out of the way for tourists though really not that far off. It's a stone's throw from the Novotel Hotel. The place is hard to miss since it has a pig's head over the storefront. The off-Old-Town location is actually nice since it means it's usually not crowded. After eating such heavy food, one feels like resting a little before being on the move again. The laid-back, no-pressure atmosphere is a definite plus. Menu in Polish, English, German, and Russian.

I've been there two times - first time I ordered a fish with potatoes and mix of salads, second time I ordered potato pancakes with pork stew and racuchy (polish dessert). Both times I was surprised by the great taste of the meals that really reminds me of my childhood and perfect cooking skills of my mom and grandma. What I also like is that you can find here "kopytka", "knedle", "rachuchy" and many other dishes that are very typical for Polish cuisine, but surprisingly it's difficult to find them in most of restaurants nowadays. The place is in a nice, quiet area of Kazimierz district. The interior is nothing unique (simple wooden chairs and tables) and the waiters tend to not visit your table too often, but for the food it's definitely worth to go there ;)

It serves tradition boiled perogies (meat and duck), cabbage rolls, and Goulash pancakes. It's okay, homemade, traditional Polish food. We found that service was a bit slow. Yet they rushed us because of another party after us, but the food came out so slowly. There's toys for kids, but it's missing pieces and sticky.
