The servers and the restaurant reflected Polish tradition as well. We were served a pork dish (like a schnitzel, but made with ground pork), mashed potatoes, and coleslaw.

I was told that the max time one can eat is about 55 minutes. Got a soup with sausage and a boiled egg. Stuffed cabbage rolls with cream of mushroom sauce. A nice dark beer.

The cream of mushroom on the stuffed cabbage rolls was nice, I think a bit untraditional but a nice touch. If you want some good polish food with a nice vibe, come here.

Very nice traditional Polish place to be. The food was absolutely 5 Stars. We had beetroot soup and…read morethe tomato soup, which both were very delicious. 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.

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.

Wonderful traditional lunch. Took forever to get our meal as a big funeral luncheon was under way…read moreat that time. But...noted for their traditional Polish fare we soon found out why. The menu is a BOOK. Pages of cold and hot appetizers, many of which are also listed as entrees so you have an opportunity here to order a bunch of appetizers to sample an array of Polish favorites. The entrees are very fancy, enhanced by flourishes such as sauces, garnishee and variations. I don't speak or read Polish but even with English speakers, the translations are sometimes a bit blurry. German text joins English in most restaurants and I have some German language so the German helped me greatly with menu items descriptions-translated into English. Wife ordered potato pancakes (don't laugh) accompanied by veal cutlet/schnitzel, with mushroom gravy/sauce. The plate looked like a big oval shaped pancake sandwich. It was huge. The potato cakes were about a fat quarter inch thick and the veal cutlet a little fatter. Undaunted, she dove in and even allowed me sone tastes. Really good. Crisp potato and very tender veal. The mushroom sauce was superlative with chunks of fresh mushies. I went for the golumpky, rolls of stuffed cabbage filled with a rice-beef blend. My family regularly serves stuffed cabbage that is cooked in tomato sauce. Here, you had a choice so I opted to (you guessed it!) mushroom gravy. Being more rice than beef mix I found them pretty blah. Thank goodness for the mushroom gravy as it was so good that cardboard would become a gourmet treat. I did eat it all, though. Given the exchange rate our lunch was about $58 US. Will return here to further explore the menu. Right across the street from our Kossak Hotel.

At first…read moreshe gave like 15 minutes to choose dishes, then agreed to lower the music but didn't actually do that. She was visiting the table every 5 minutes, which was pretty frustrating, but disappeared exactly when the dishes were finished. Duh, I do not know, maybe it's just an unlucky coincidence, still I'm really dissappointed with this kind of service. The food was completely opposite to the service - delicios and not expensive. I think it's a good place to try Polish food, they have a good choise of it. Be prepared that portions are large, I couldn't finish even just soup+main dish. I do not like the interiors, they pretend to be from 30s with all that pictures on the walls in golden frames, fancy tableware and so on. Well, I guess it's a matter of personal taste. At least it's fun to have 100-dollar bills instead of napkins :D
