Pod Aniolami is located in an 18th century building on the Royal Route from the old market square to the mediaeval Wawel or King’s Castle and cathedral. For over three hundred years the building was the residence of Krakow’s goldsmiths. We were welcomed in off the hot street in an early evening and were lucky to be offered an unreserved table in the covered garden area, near to part of the kitchen that included the barbecue. This suited us fine as kitchens are always interesting to watch....

Quacking good restaurant! Despite not booking ahead, the maitre d' found us a comfortable corner on a busy evening in August, and we were promptly and helpfully served. We had starters of carpaccio of duck and oven cooked pierogi of duck washed down with a local Okocim white beer. For mains one of us tasted a dish of half a roast duck cooked in a local samartian style stuffed with red lentils and served with pumpkin and blackcurrant sauce, delicious but very filling. The other had an equally...

We wanted music with our dinner and found this restaurant just down the road from our aparthotel on Golebia Street. It offered a dinner of Polish cuisine in a candle-lit courtyard gently accompanied by a very good guitarist on a warm summer’s night. The restaurant is long established and family run and provides delicious food and careful service. We were gently looked after by a waiter who helped us choose some Polish red wine which was light but well bodied, a bit like a Beaujolais and we...

On our first night in Krakow we set out to find a Polish restaurant near our apartment. After an early evening local beer in the main square of the old town listening to jazz, we found this restaurant in a nearby side street offering only Polish food. In its courtyard we were fortunate to get a table. We decided to go for a three course meal, choosing toasted smoked cheese and local meat dumplings (pierogi) for starters washed down with red and white Polish wine. The dishes were tasty and...

Polished wood and polished service, on the ground floor of the Hotel The waiters guided our fledgling steps in Polish cuisine, although not all of our party took the plunge. But some of us enjoyed our first tastes of meat dumplings - pierogi - served with sauce or soup (beetroot [Borsch] or sour rye [Suker]), and fresh-pressed lemonade which was most welcome in the heat of the day we visited. The food was very tasty, although later I came to appreciate fried pierogi more than boiled. The staff...

We arrived here by train from Berlin via Gdansk. It was an excellent journey on speedy modern trains which were clean and comfortable. The journey gave us an excellent opportunity to see the countryside and a little bit of Gdansk near the railway station, which was near the shipyards! We arrived in Inowroclaw in the late afternoon and walked up to this comfortable traditional style hotel, albeit with nicely modernised facilities in the town centre of Inowroclaw. We arrived just in time to get a...

Our first experience of Polish food, if not of Polish beer. That had come earlier in the town square of Inowroclaw and showed what tasty brews Poland produces. Went to Restauracja 32 with a family party, in Poland for a wedding, well into a warm summer evening. The staff made us very welcome, despite our lack of Polish language, and brought us menus. The service was helpful and quick enough. The food was well prepared and tasty - we began with melon and cucumber cold soup, just right for a warm...
