Great little restaurant with live music. Very cosy, you almost rub elbows with the musicians and the food was quite good too! The staff were very attentive, friendly and spoke excellent English, but the big bonus was the live Klezmer music. You need to give this one a try, but don't leave it too late as we saw quite a...

We ate here on our last night in Kraków and it was wonderful. The menu has a great selection and our only problem was trying to work out what to pick because we wanted everything! We did have to wait quite a while to be served, it was, however, very busy and we got drinks quickly which made the wait... More

My retired parents, myself and my son ate here today. We chose to sit outside although the indoor decor is pretty. There were many Eastern European and Polish dishes on the menu to choose from. I ordered tagliatelle and it was very average. My mother enjoyed her "chop" with fried cabbage. My father wasn't overly impressed with his tuna salad... More

Situated in the old Jewish quarter, this place is right next to 10 other joints of likely equal or lesser quality, as they're cashing in on the tourism that "Schindler's List" has brought them. My wife ordered some chicken soup, which she enjoyed, but I ordered the lamb mix, which was supposed to be grilled (and quite massive in the... More

We came here twice - the food was excellent and the live Gypsy band simply awesome. Staff were very friendly, spoke English and were everything one could wish for. We had salads both times (mine was the Greek salad) and these were delicious. This is not a place for those seeking Michelin-type culinary experiences. On the other hand, if you... More

Maybe I was tired from my trip to the salt mines and the concentration camps during the day. I came back to the Jewish quarter for dinner and choose this restaurant because of the live band playing at the outdoor seating area. The band was good and spontaneous. Service was good but the food was disappointing. My soup was over... More

We had lunch on Saturday 29 January. We had lunched there a couple of times before on previous visits to Krakow, and remembered the good pierogi. We were not disappointed this time though none of the fish ones shown on the menu were available that day. There was a large table of French speaking Jewish people already there and they... More

We read the recommendation of this Restaurant in the Krakow in your pocket. The restaurant should have a large selection of polish cousine. We should have turned around and left the restaurant when we got the cheap looking menu card. The soup was cold, the salad not tasty and the meat at least one day old.

Not the biggest or to be truthful, the best but smart service and reasonable prices mean this place is well worth a visit, especially the indoor garden area.
