Marchewka z Groszkiem

Perfect place to visit if you want to try traditional Polish cuisine that really tastes like at home !
I’ve been there two times — first time I ordered a fish with potatoes and mix of salads, second time I ordered potato pancakes with pork stew and racuchy (polish dessert).
Both times I was surprised by the great taste of the meals that really reminds me of my childhood and perfect cooking skills of my mom and grandma.
What I also like is that you can find here «kopytka», «knedle», «rachuchy» and many other dishes that are very typical for Polish cuisine, but surprisingly it’s difficult to find them in most of restaurants nowadays.
The place is in a nice, quiet area of Kazimierz district. The interior is nothing unique (simple wooden chairs and tables) and the waiters tend to not visit your table too often, but for the food it’s definitely worth to go there ;)

On the way back to the office on a bike ride really needed a drink and something to eat. So just stopped at this little café. There are at least 5 cafes in a row here. Order a fresh lemonade and some lovely cheese pirogy. The drink was very refresh but a little small and the meal was lovely. It came covered in a sauce which was sweet and complemented the cheese nicely. The service was fine. The price was also good. A lovely little café to stop at for lunch. I’ve only given this 4 stars as its a little basic and I probably wouldn’t go there for dinner.

This place is great! Super cozy inside, and always seems to be buzzing but not overcrowded. The service is friendly and fast, and English-​tolerant as well. Everything I tried on the menu was delicious (about 5 or 6 dishes). Being Russian, not Polish, I can’t judge as to its authenticity, but the food was definitely pleasing to my Eastern European palate.
It’s definitely no-​frills though. Cutlery comes in a basket for the whole table. The waitress doesn’t ask how you are doing when you sit down. Everything arrives exactly as described, as quickly as possible, with minimal fuss and creative garnishes. I guess some North American travellers might find this jarring, but personally I love it. I’m excited to come back to try breakfast!

Service was really not paced well for our group of 8. The server brought dishes out as they were ready so some of us got starters as others got entrée. The highlight was the strawberry pierogi for dessert. These were exceptional! My entrée was just ok-​zrazy-​which is a beef roll up with gravy.

Super! Das Essen ist gut und selbst für Krakau günstig! Genau das richtige, wenn man kein großes Abenteuer, sondern einfach eine solide Mahlzeit sucht.
