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!!

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.

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.

Overall, I enjoyed dining at Restaurancia Polska, but it's not a place I would go out of my way to visit.

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. The menu is Polish only though and I doubt the stern lady at the counter has much patience for bumbling tourists.

The name of this establishment can be translated roughly as "Pork Knucklery". Pork knuckles--or ham…read morehocks--is what they do. For fans of the dish, Golonkarnia is a great place to be. I happened to feel like pigging out one afternoon, so I ordered their signature dish: the roasted golonka with crunchy skin. It arrived quicker than I anticipated. The pork knuckle came on a cutting board, with knife and fork stuck into it (see picture). It was huge: two people would struggle to finish it. The skin was suitably crunchy, while the meat was soft with just the right amount of fat. Grease was oozing out as I cut it, so I had to constantly soak it up with pieces of bread. Fine dining it isn't but that's the point. In the end, I finished less than half. The helpful lady running the place packed the leftover in a foil and I was eating golonka the next couple days. The other golonka plates come in more reasonable portion. I've tried the po staropolsku and it's very tasty. If pork knuckle is not your thing, their non-pork dishes are also quite good. The beef goulash here is among the best I've eaten in the city. If ox tongue is your thing, they make a very good one. Golonkarnia is located slightly out of the way for tourists though really not that far off. It's a stone's throw from the Novotel Hotel. The place is hard to miss since it has a pig's head over the storefront. The off-Old-Town location is actually nice since it means it's usually not crowded. After eating such heavy food, one feels like resting a little before being on the move again. The laid-back, no-pressure atmosphere is a definite plus. Menu in Polish, English, German, and Russian.
