Bufet KRK

I had the pleasure of trying three dishes: Beef tartare with smoked egg yolk, sardine, horseradish, and chives Cordon bleu “My Mother’s Karpatka” with rhubarb I would never have imagined beef tartare pairing well with sardines, yet the chef at Krk proved me wrong. The combination of flavours was both bold and harmonious—truly unforgettable. The cordon bleu was outstanding. Its simplicity let the quality of the ingredients shine, and the balance of flavour was so perfect I could happily rant about it at length. For dessert, the Karpatka—a traditional Polish cream pie with a vanilla buttercream-like filling, finished with a rhubarb topping—was the ideal finale. Light, nostalgic, and beautifully executed. The meal was accompanied by an excellent Polish red wine—unassuming, yet perfectly suited to the menu and enhancing every dish. All three courses delivered a taste to remember. Service was excellent: attentive without being intrusive, striking exactly the right balance. The atmosphere was equally impressive—modern, spacious, and relaxing. I cannot wait to return.

Went here on my own and had a wonderful experience. Every dish was explained to me in detail, and the main chef made sure everything was perfect. I tried several dishes, and all of them were excellent. I also really liked the interior. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Krakow!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 Beautiful space and genuinely kind, attentive staff who know the menu inside and out. From the moment we walked in to even quick moments like passing staff near the restrooms, the hospitality was warm and polished — clearly a team that’s been trained well. However, despite the promising atmosphere, the experience fell short in several important ways. We waited about an hour for appetizers and nearly an hour and a half for the main dish. When the steak (picanha) finally arrived, it was unfortunately cold. Drink service was also quite slow — we often found ourselves waiting longer than expected for basics. One small but telling moment: early in the evening, I asked if I could purchase the cup they served the water in. The staff agreed and said they’d add it to the bill, but in the end, it was completely forgotten. Not a major issue, but it reflects a lack of follow-through that matched the overall pacing of the service. All in all, a restaurant with lots of ambition and a lovely team — but not quite at the level they seem to be aiming for. Definitely not two Michelin stars (yet). With improved timing and consistency, it could get there.

Simply a fantastic place: every item i got was delicious. I didnt have much expectations from the chicken cutlet (basically a schnitzel) and it was cooked perfectly with a custom butter. I also enjoyed the croquettes very much, the crispiness on the outside and the cooking level of the meat inside with combination of the sauce was great Karpatka is also recommended as it seems to be the best option on the menu. I also enjoyed sitting at the stool overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen operation is quite fun to witness and you can tell that staff is really good at what they do.

The food was delicious and prepared like a masterful chef. We started with the beef tartar with a smoked egg yolk, then the beef (ribeye) steak served medium rare with truffle fries along with the free range chicken cutlet having a nicely crispy crust with butter sauce and a salad with pistachio crumbles and finely grated parmesan cheese. The atmosphere is very pleasant with an upscale feel but relaxed & casual. The service was very good.

Great place to taste classic cuisine. The atmosphere and service is on top level, the waiter was really friendly and attentive to all the details. Small tip - try some ‘off-menu’ dishes - they are delicious! The menu overall is short but you have a choice of everything you need, and you can be sure it will be tasty. In case you don’t have reservation (as we did), the backyard is available with cozy and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend, Krakow has an advantage to have such places!

High expectations but literally no flavour and average presentation. Food was either bland or to heavy on fat or cream - cool idea of polish fusion cousin but It was lost somewhere and just didn’t work. It was a bit awkward as waiter was so confident and proud of the dishes but then there was this meh feeling and nothing to be wow about.

Really enjoyed this restaurant and the atmosphere. We stayed in the garden and it was the perfect temperature to enjoy a meal in their lovely outside area. The tartare was delicious and so were the beef cheek croquettes. I had the roast beef with the puree and it was tender and packed with flavour. Was only slightly disappointed with the size of my cocktail (honeycomb) as they don’t tell you it comes in a tiny glass. I also found it to be a bit expensive for what it was, but overall very pleased with the experience.
