Jama Michalika | Est. 1895

Amazing polish restaurant in the middle of old town in Krakow. With the rustic ambiance and lively piano music felt like we are back in time. The restaurant was not very crowded so we had second thoughts about the place but after the food we were more than satisfied. Great taste, decent portions and affordable price what else you want! And all this with a royal dining experience. We tried the pancakes and cutlets they were amazing. Their homemade icecream is also delicious.

Horrible food! A piece of advice: have coffee, enjoy the atmosphere, and then just leave. My potato pancakes with goulash were way oversalted (usually I'm the one at the table asking for more salt, but not this time), oily, and almost burnt. For reference, I've added a photo of how those pancakes should look. Right now, I’m sitting here writing this review, and my table still hasn’t been cleaned. This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Awful experience and a huge disappointment.

Very tasty traditional dishes and a cool atmosphere inside. Historical place. I think the place is underrated.

Knew about this place beforehand and was not disappointed. Ordered starters and a main to share - both were high quality and of much more generous portion sizes that we'd expected (the waiter even brought out another table and to fit the main course on). Staff were accommodating of a severe nut allergy and ambience was great (historic setting and local folk music was being performed when we were eating). If you want modern and trendy then look elsewhere, but if you're after something authentic it's a must visit in Kraków.

Went for lunch, very old fashioned, grandiose interior decor. The native Polish clientele in there seemed very well dressed. We were the only tourists but I liked that even in our shabby day wear. Good selection of typical Polish cuisine - Soups, salads, meat cutlets, pierogi (dumplings) savoury pancakes. If you want Polish food in the most 'touristy' of Polish cities and aren't offended by atypical, non-modern surroundings, then give it a try. It was 250zł for five of us (including a baby) which included a small service charge. We did eat a lot and took some food home so you could spend less.

We had a lovely meal here. It was quiet when we visited an early midweek evening. The staff were friendly and helpful - its a great choice if you would like to try some authentic Polish dishes. We enjoyed the Mushroom Soup and Traditional Polish Dumplings.

By far the worst part of our trip. The folk music show was so boring and relied on audience participation to keep people interested. The food was one bland color. We ended up leaving early to save the night and head to the Christmas market( which is amazing). Avoid this tourist trap.

Oldest coffeehouse in Cracov. Art Nouveau café inside redecorated in 1910. The decor preserved until now. For 10 years from 1905 a famous Galician cabaret The Green Balloon performed here. Place offers dinners and good selection of cakes. I reccomend Advocat coffee or Hennesy coffee with cake.
