Prices were reasonable. As someone else noted the actual name of the restaurant is Gospoda na Piastowskiej not Folk Restauracja. There is outdoor seating if the night is warm. Service was excellent too. In Poland, if you pay by card there is no chance to leave a tip, unless you ask beforehand. Also the exchange rate favors paying in Zlotys rather than US currency.

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!! Almost every restaurant we visited had 3 to 4 soups on the menu. Kuchnia u Doroty specializes in Soups, Schnitzels, Bigos, Roast Pork, Perogies, Pickled Herring and more.

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.

The food, service, and pricing were all much better than expectations. We ordered the roasted duck and baked ribs, and both were excellent. And as an often hurried American, I realize I typically rush through dinner faster than a more measured European pace. But on this particular night we were on a tight schedule.

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.

The restaurant itself is quite small with limited seating, so it's common to find a line, especially during peak hours.
