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.

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.

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.

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.

It's a small shop with a decent-sized menu, though I wish there were more flavor options. I also considered Mr. Vincent, which seemed to have a bit more variety. I ordered the cottage cheese and spinach pierogi. I like that everything's made to order -- they boil them fresh after you order, and mine were ready in about seven minutes. You can choose butter or onions on top (the onions seem to be cooked in a buttery sauce anyway), and I went with the onions. Each order comes with nine pierogi -- they're small and snackable, so it's a good portion for one person. The cottage cheese and spinach combo was nice; I expected more of a spanakopita vibe, but it was different. Flavor-wise, it was fine -- not bad at all, just not something I'd rave about. The price is definitely a plus, though: my meal with a soda came to around $10 USD. Service was the one real downside. It might've been a language barrier, but when I asked for my order to go, they plated it first and seemed annoyed about repacking it. The staff also didn't seem too happy when I asked for extra onions. Overall, affordable and freshly made pierogi, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Maybe I should try pierogi at other places in town before writing this, but honestly, this was one…read moreof the worst meals I've had in some time. I ordered the savory mix (10 pieces for around 7 euro), and none of the six (or seven?) varieties I got was enjoyable. Some of the fillings were too salty, all of the pierogi tasty doughy and undercooked, and the fried onions on top were oily and overpowering. It's possible that pierogi are simply not my thing, though I actually doubt it, since I generally like all dumplings. Anyway, I'll try my luck elsewhere (and will ask for the onions on the side, to be safe). Food aside, service was fine. Note that the place itself is really just a takeout kiosk, with a few stools at a small counter if you'd like to eat there.
