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.

I would say Poland definitely is and has a world class soup culture, they take soups very seriously there. The mushroom soup I had was like no other I've ever had anywhere absolutely phenomenal!!

First of all, the line: It was quite long when I was there. When I reached the counter I was told what I wanted wasn't available. Barszcz ukrainski? "Nie ma." Gołąbki? "Nie ma." I don't know how they could run out of their headline items in the middle of the day. The food was quite good. My soup was rather lukewarm though. Prices are quite low. One can eat pretty well for less than 15zł here. If you're want a taste of Poland's communist past, by all mean give Krakus a try. It's just a short walk from plac Bohaterów Getta.

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.

I particularly liked the texture of their pierogi skins compared to some of the more "touristy" spots.

Mine came with a heap of sauerkraut, which, while is very characteristic of Polish food, somewhat overpowered the other bland flavors of the dish. Moreover, my bread bowl came with a very limited amount of sausage. Nevertheless, the sausage, chicken, and sauerkraut mix complemented the bread very well. Overall, I enjoyed dining at Restaurancia Polska, but it's not a place I would go out of my way to visit.

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.

When you walk in to the restaurant, you're engulfed by wood...seriously: wooden ceilings, wooden walls, wooden tables and wooden chairs & benches. The waiters run around in traditional Polish clothing and it's all so stereotypical...but also fun in a way. On the day that I came here it was snowing and so the warmth that this place gave off, was exactly what I needed. I came here with a Krakowian colleague of mine (does that word even exist?) and he said that this would be the kind of place that you would not go as a local with other locals, but you would take visitors here, as it kind of oozes of this old-world feel and in a way represented the old Poland. Which - in other words - means it's a touristy place, but I didn't care much about that, as it was the middle of winter and there weren't any tourists around anyway. Foodwise, I'd give this place 3 stars - it was ok: heavy food, that definitely reminds me of the Bavarian/Swabian cuisines: duck, red cabbage, dumplings, etc. (This showed me again how much we Germans and Poles actually do have in common.) But it was alright and definitely hit the spot...plus, in conjunction with some good beer and a free shot of schnapps at the end, I was happy as a cow! In short: this is definitely a place I would come back to as it is just so damn gemütlich!
