Chopin - Krakow

One of our BEST dinners in Krakow certainly one of the BEST restaurants in Krakow. DELICIOUS FLAVOURFUL, OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD FOOD CREATIVELY ARRANGED FOOD, Old World WHITE GLOVE IMPECCABLE SERVICE, Specialty meats not often seen at most restaurants, romantic settings/ historic rooms, gorgeous views of main square. Who knew there were so many excellent restaurants in Krakow. Eat like Polish royalty surrounded by sumptuous surroundings and feel specially treated by the highly trained staff. COST (OUT OF 4 (once converted it was inexpensive in USD . yes it's expensive (in zloty but it's also a once in a lifetime meal to try. Ingredients are top notch. We thought it was worthwhile. Live a little and experience this. DÉCOR: Wonderful views of old town main square from the banquette tables by the windows. Historical Romantic Lush, look at the gilded room or cordovan leather wallpaper, everything was thought through and exuded luxury and upper crust. Saw a couple here celebrating their anniversary, in the other room saw a large party celebrating a birthday, romantic dinner for another couple by the window seat. Perfect evening. SERVICE: White gloved coordinated service, think Downton Abbey, waiters lifting the silver trayed cloches all at once and clanging them as if announcing your grand feast has begun. WOW! So cool and so entertaining. Was not expecting that. Old world white gloved and Black White suited waiters WOW so impressive. They cleared our plates and replaced with fresh dishes after every course, swept crumbs off the table and silverware replaced with every course and with the correct silverware for next course. Classy and correct etiquette. Chef provided us a complimentary amuse bouche. Soup poured tableside (another AHMAZING display of service . Loved every minute of our dining EXPERIENCE here. RECOMMEND: HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and would DEFINITELY GO BACK if we are ever back in Krakow. MEAL: Everything was beautifully plated as well and the flavours were so creative. I meant EVERYTHING was so delicious. The steak tartare was AHHHMAZING. It came inside a smoke filled glass cloche and when they lifted the cloche the smoke wafted upwards. It was all so fantastical, such a great display, and so entertaining. Loved the service. It truly made you feel special. Had the Smoked beef tartare (superb entertaining display . Trout (very good, cooked perfectly , Pierogi dumplings stuffed with goose meat (OMG so so good , Cream of crayfish (Loved it so much, loved how they poured the soup tableside , Duck Breast (delish tender perfectly cooked , Venison (OMG melt in your mouth tender, one of the best we've ever had , Sea Bass (good , Polish special Bison vodka (ok , Honey carmelized mushroom ice cream (mushroom flavoured shaped ice cream different not sure if I liked the taste but it was good to try. yes the portions are smaller but we prefer quality over quantity. Besides we were able to order more items and taste a wide variety of dishes as a result. Overall we loved this place. The food was just excellent so memorable, the service made you feel like royalty the surroundings ambience was rich and so luxe.

We went there for Friday evening in December. They have outdoor seating with and warm blankets. Watching the Christmas tree and the town hall while sipping on mulled wine is amazing. The food is amazing, as well as the service. It's romantic and a good place for date night. I love their mulled wine. Price is cheap compared to US.

Turned out to be an excellent choice for us. My wife was skeptical because some reviews and no Michelin mention but since I dined there before on my previous Poland trip I convinced her. She loved it. We had tasting menu which was excellent. We highly recommend. Great quality food served to the highest standard. Our waiter was very good and knew his stuff. Professionally explained all the dishes. Food came not to quickly and not to slow. His wine recommendations were right on the spot. Wearing white gloves was nice touch The portions were HUGE like in normal meal not tasting menu. We did not expected that from tasting menu so it was a delight. However if you are having tasting menu sure you go there hungry, which is hard to do in Krakow. Food was super delicious but we just could not finish each dish. Smoked tartar with actual real smoke and mushroom ice cream were very amusing and tasted great. Not cheap for Poland basically priced like any good quality US restaurant in Chicago or LA but well worth your money and we are definitely coming back next time in Poland. Hopefully they will change their tasting menu for a different experience.

This was by far the best best dining experience in all of Poland. The robust meal was full of flavor, prepared perfectly, and presented with elegance. The atmosphere is historic with spacious interiors, detailed furnishings, period art, and unmatched romance. The chef prepares specialities not on the menu at the start and finish and perhaps throughout, seasonly. The service was attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable, and delivered with a flair for elegance and care. Do not miss this dining experience join 600+ years of diners!! Dress was very accommodating to a wide range of attire.

This is for the downstairs restaurant Tradyci in the bar area. Tradyci soup with fava beans was almost a meal by itself. Wild boar pierogi with sauces were delicious!! I went back and had dinner upstairs, in the fancy part, ordered similar things and regretted not eating downstairs again. The soup was not near as flavorful, and the pierogies weren't either.
