"While Krakow excels in traditional Polish offerings, a growing number of restaurants are serving modern European cuisine with a Polish twist. These new upmarket restaurants are offering a dining experience that would sit easily alongside the fancy restaurants of London or Paris, yet carry a fraction of the price tag. One good option for high-end, contemporary Polish food is the iconic Wierzynek—the restaurant itself has been around since 1364, but the kitchen hasn't lagged behind modern gastronomic trends. It even offers a slow-food menu with a popular caramelized honey porcini mushroom ice cream for dessert."
