Restauracja Wierzynek

We enjoyed a superb dining experience at Wierzniek. We were greeted warmly by the bartender/host who took our reservation, then later showed us to our table overlooking the square. I wish I knew his name. He was very kind. We loved the warm decor. The food is unparalleled in quality, flavor, and presentation. But the best part of our evening was the attention we received from our server, Stanislaw. He was knowledgeable in wine and regional food, and kept us entertained as he brought out delicious dish after delicious dish. This was our final night in Kraków, and it was a perfect way to end our vacation.

We can highly recommend the old elegant restaurant Wierzynek. The service is on a Michelin level, and the food is also of high quality but a bit traditionel to meet the requirements for one Michelin star. We can highly recommend that you dine inside the restaurant even though the restaurant is located at the main square. We had homemade bread with garlic butter and pate. For the main course we had beef tenderloin with mushroom puree with celery, spinach, tomatoes, champigons and red wine sauce plus duck breast with parsley puree. For dessert we had the signature honey caramelized boletus mushroom ice cream and cream cake in Krakow style. Everything was excellent and there is a very good match between price and quality.

The waitress noticed (while I did not) that I have a small fruit fly in my wine and offered to change my glass and wine. Attention to detail is astounding. The food is the amazing version of what is top class Polish food. The famous desert was just a bit less than perfect as the ice cream mushroom wash a little too frozen but this is a small oversight compared with the rest of the meal. The famous room with wallpaper painted with gold, tells a history of a famous 21 day non stop feast. Everything is fresh, served with attention. Expensive but worth it, especially if you like grandeur and eating wild game. Highly recommended.

5 stars all around! This place should be Michelin rated. The food was incredible; the service was incredible until it came time to bring us our check where the server took 30 minutes from desert finish to bring us a check. That is the only negative I can say. Other than that the food was incredible, the atmosphere was stunning, and the service was beyond on par. I would highly recommend.

Exceptional food. Opulent decor. The manager was knowledgeable, patient and very helpful. Highly recommended

We had an excellent time with a very attentive staff providing excellent service to complement the delicious dishes. Portions were a bit small, specifically the venison tenderloin which was the most expensive main, but surprisingly filling. With a starter and main no one had room for dessert even. We loved the historic setting, which is no understatement given the 600 year history here. Snippets of it were included in the menu. Excellent location right in the rynek, thankfully surrounded by tourist restaurants that distract away most of the noise. Great wine menu as well, but we’re avoiding alcohol so didn’t try them. 700z for 4 without wine, dessert, or coffee is a good deal nowadays for this type of venue.

We had a fabulous time at this historic gem! The service was first rate, and the food was gourmet and delicious. We did one of the prefix multi course menus, and it was well worth it. (They call it a tasting menu, but the portions were large.) I just can’t say enough about how great it was. We will be back.

Absolutely brilliant. From the surprising smoked deer tartar (with actual smoke) through the excellent roe deer saddle to the unexpected actual bolleto mushroom ice cream it was all amazingly imaginative and divinely tasty. Great Polish wine suggestion by our most friendly and helpful host Dimitry. The atmosphere in the old and well decorated dinning room is also exquisite.
