I was at this restaurant on 24th July 2009, and the experience ruined my evening.
This restaurant caters to tourists like cattle and attempts to extract as much money from every wallet, using every trick in the book. I experienced the following and witnessed an identical experience at two other tables, so did not just have bad luck:
- Menu dish prices exclude any side/vegetables: you need to specify everything that comes on your plate. Prices are kept low so they compare favourably with other restaurants on the square.
- Even if you specify no starter, a basket of bread and dripping will be always be served at your table (Try our local starter). If this is touched at all, ALL members of the party will be charged EUR2 per person when paying the bill.
- Attempts will be made to push sour cucumber on you, if you don't want the dripping (again, charged for on the bill).
- After the meal, the waiter will strongly suggest vodka (it is a Polish tradition to always drink vodka after the meal). I had to refuse several attempts to push this on me, to the disgruntlement of the waiter.
- When paying the bill, you will be told service charge is not included. You must add 10%. As I suspected and confirmed later, this is not true - in Poland, service charge IS included, but tips are not. Waiters guarantee a tip by stating this.
The main dishes themselves are OK, but please learn from my experience and avoid this hellhole and tourist trap.
