Amarylis Restaurant

There were eight of us dinning here for a friend’s birthday. The tasting menu was very good and the restaurant accommodated all the dietary requirements our group had. The dishes were generally very good and tasty. Service was top notch including the sommelier who managed to guide a rather complex group of individuals.

restaurant surprisingly gets good reviews. In my experience it was not great. They have Michelin star prices with a mediocre tasting menu with some very odd pairings. It was a hard sell as soon as we sat down being pushed to purchase the caviar and oysters and to order a cocktail. We went for the 6 course tasting menu. First course was a soup that was quite good but it had a sweet jelly in the middle that encapsulated some fish. Did not work in my opinion, a little like when a Canadian offers you salade and it’s actually a sweet jelly being served in a savoury dish. Presentation for each dish was good but the flavours and tastes were simply not there. We were charged just under what you would be charged at a Michelin single star restaurant but had quality of food that was sadly way below. The sommelier was pleasant and the staff attentive but we felt rather deflated. This being said there are some exceptional restaurants in Krakow and I strongly recommend checking them out. Use the Raisin app. We had far better food for one seventh of the cost at Karakter. If you want a tasting menu find someone with a Michelin start rather than someone pretending to be

Absolutely Amazing Restaurant! The food was incredible – every dish was carefully prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was flawless, everything flowed perfectly. If you're in Krakow, this place is an absolute must! An unforgettable dining experience – highly recommended!

It was good, not excellent. The taste wasn't that special as I expected from a Michelin restaurant. The Ambiente is not my favorite either. Staff ladies were beautiful.

This is the 6 course tasting menu for 390 PLN. You could literally taste the combination between various ingredients, blended in a delicious way. Although, I wished at least water and tea to be included in the menu, without mentioning the service fee :) Surely it was a very extraordinary experience, however, if you want to have a fine dining experience at Michelin recommended restaurant, keep in mind that you'll pay more than the price of the menu course for sure.

We came for dinner not realizing what an amazing restaurant this is. We were treated with lots of attention, and each course was explained in detail. This was a very special treat for us. I will highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Krakow, who wants a fine dining experience.

We had a lovely meal at Amarylis, each course on the 6 course tasting menu was unique and tasty. Our waitress Kamila was very friendly and she explained the courses very well. We really enjoyed being served by her. I would recommend and would love to go back one day.

I really wanted to like it. The service was so very good and the sommelier took us on a lovely journey with the wines. The food however was just ok. When you consider the price this place is a definite skip. There was a reasonable effort to craft interesting dishes with interesting textures and layering of flavour but I just couldn’t believe the price compared to what we actually got. There is endless good food in krakow and I had much better meals for literally 20% of what this coat. So very disappointing. I can see why others rate highly as there is a strong effort but just truly doesn’t deliver.

Located in the charming basement of the Queen Hotel, Amarylis provides a wonderful culinary adventure. The incomparable David, the maître d'hôtel, server, sommelier, and maestro of Amarylis, led us through a superb dining experience. Starting with my partner's Bouillabaisse, with a rich and wonderful broth, everything tasted delicious. My saddle of rabbit appetizer was scrumptious, and our veal shank entree, exhibiting a burst of flavors, blew us both away. Our strawberry tart and peach zabaglione desserts followed suit, being creative and tasty. David, a superb wine and spirits connoisseur, served two delicious full-bodied white wines, one a 2016 Hungarian Pinot-Noir white. Amazing. He also introduced me to two superb Polish vodkas, served neat in an aperitif glass. Amarylis was an ultimate dining experience and a fantastic introduction to gourmet Poland. Bravo!

If you are in Krakow, you have to visit this place... loads of surprises. The creativies and the pairing wines will elaborate your experience for the next level

Amarylis is a creative restaurant that delivers interesting flavors. Not all of dishes work, for instance, the cured trout tartar is too salty for the trout dish, could be left off the plate and be only about the fillet; the rabbit roulade would be better with a firmer texture. But most dishes hit the mark quite well, some are excellent, the beef carpaccio for instance is amazing and the highlight of the meal, a close second is the dessert of chocolate caramel, pear, and bergamot. The creativity here does sometimes trip up the big picture, leaving small elements in some dishes not well mashed with the rest. But those are tiny issues almost inevitable with this type of cooking. Overall, I would recommend this place over traditional french or medi fine dining places here in krakow.

Perfectly fine restaurant offering a tasting menu with some hits and some misses. The starting courses were quite good - the guinea fowl with tomato consommé was to die for - but the entrees were only mediocre and dishes did not seem as well balanced. The wine pairings were quite good and service was friendly and attentive. You would have a good meal if you ended up here, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Well, maybe for another bowl of that consommé.

YOU MUST EAT HERE! This is hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. I had the bacon dish which was impeccable. The bacon itself as well as the onions prepared four different ways and red wine sauce tied everything together and is to die for. My fiancé had the veal cheek and tenderloin, both of which were so tender we literally used a butter knife to cut it. To top it all off the waiter was knowledgeable and clever. A five-star review does not do this place justice. I will definitely return on my next trip to Kraków and I highly recommend you do the same.

Great take on iconic Polish dishes refined with exquisite detail and farm to table ingredients.
