Bufet KRK

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

I had a great experience at this place! Friendly service and tasty food. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, everything we tried was delicious. I highly recommend visiting just make sure to book a table in advance.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, given all the buzz and sleek presentation, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype as much as I expected. I think the place has potential, however the food, while nicely plated, was underwhelming. Best of show goes to the cucumber salad, (long time on the menu for a reason). Chicken as main - underdelivered, some pieces were quite chewy, plate size seemed like tapas but it was the price ( almost 20€!) that was a real choker … Ceviche - lacked acidity and this thing that ceviche should have, a blast of freshness and a crisp taste. Nice presentation, but not a thing to remember and come back for. Potato puree - splendid, but quite pricey to be a side ( 6€), nice bread, butter wayyy too soft, on the border to send it back actually. The cocktails were light on flavor annd didn’t quite hit the mark. Overall, ok experience , but expected way more. At the end of the day, it’s the food that should stand out — and here, it just didn’t. Dishes lacked the depth of flavor you’d expect at this price point. Expect tapas-sized dishes for a price of main. Service - nice, responsive and qualified, the kitchen was quick — food arrived shortly after we ordered. In my opinion, this spot might work for a casual night out, but it falls short if you’re looking for a satisfying, well-executed meal.

A visit to Bufet is a must! Kamil the chef along with the front-of-house staff were excellent hosts, with great service in English. The cuisine style was homey comfort food with rich flavours. Starters were fresh, light and intriguing. The mains were substantial and lick-your-plate delicious. And despite very full stomachs, the desserts were not to be missed and exceeded expectations. Highlights: - Asparagus dish & sweet bread veal - Lamb scewer & chicken dishes - Strawberries with whipped sour cream - Cocktail called the Oak Thank you for a great evening Bufet. Can't wait to return soon.

This places was recommended to me by a bartender. Thankful that I took his advice. Wonderful drinks paired with delicious mains. The dessert brought it home. Bravo 👌
