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.

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.

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.

We also ordered the dumplings with mushroom, cheese and onions. Those were tastier. Lastly, we ordered the dumplings with cherry and mascarpone cheese. I guess we should've read the description more carefully, as my husband was dying for the kind he'd had while visiting Ukraine. Those were filled with plump cherries in a sauce like you'd find inside a cherry pie. These were very bland, mostly marscapone, with tiny bits of shredded cherry. I would estimate that less than a cherry was inside each dumpling. My hubbie never leaves food behind, but we left most of these.

We ordered the pork and onion pierogi, and every bite was pure heaven. The filling was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in tender dough that made it hard to stop at just one. We also tried the beef croquette, which unfortunately was a bit disappointing and lacked flavor. The restaurant itself is quite small with limited seating, so it's common to find a line, especially during peak hours. But trust me, the wait is absolutely worth it for some of the best pierogi we've had in Kraków.

For the main course we had vegetarian and meat Pierogi, which also were really good. So why just 3 Stars? First of all we ordered a vegetarian dish and it was not vegetarian. The beetroot soup had meat filled Pierogi included and the vegetarian Pierogi had diced fried bacon on top. We made clear in the beginning we wanted one vegetarian dish and this food was not vegetarian. In addition the waitress took the dishes of the people that finished eating, while others still were eating, this is really a no go. In the end, when we paid the waitress kept 9 Zloty as tip when the change was returned. I prefer to decide the amount of tipi myself. I wanted to stick with the 10 to 15 % rule, but not in this overall situation. If the food ;for non vegetarians) would not have been this good, I would have given even less stars. Do I come again? Probably not.
