Widnokrąg — Hotel in Sandomierz

Spent 2 nights for a short break in Sandomierz and we cannot recommend the restaurant and bed and breakfast highly enough.

The historical building has been beautifully renovated to a very high quality and with such attention to detail. The renovation has kept much of its classical features and original charm, whilst blending seamlessly with modern design elements that offer comfort and style....the owners have really managed to create a unique home from home.

Our quaint room was spacious and furnished to a very high standard and the bed was so comfortable. We even had a small balcony to sit and enjoy the warm summer evenings.

The well trained and friendly staff were all so welcoming and willing to serve with a smile...and even chat when possible - any extra request was quickly and efficiently delivered...so refreshing and so rare.

Breakfast was the best yet on all our travels around Poland by far. The set breakfast offered a fun and delicious start to the day with a nutritious variety of hot/cold dishes...so refreshing from the stale buffet breakfast served by most hotels.

The restaurant al la cart menu was excellent too...Personally crafted by the chef, with the highest quality products and freshest ingredients sourced from local suppliers (and their own small farm).The chefs' passion for creating exciting food is clear in the menu. We enjoyed the food so much that we did not eat outside of the restaurant during our entire two day stay...as many of the other places in the square looked like typical tourist venues.

After a request to the staff, the chef and the restaurant manager joined us at our table so we could share our experience with them.

The outside restaurant seating area is so relaxing...the gardens have been beautifully crafted with a variety of plants that create such a calming and peaceful setting (away from the main square) to enjoy the delicious menu creations.

Such a rare find...such a unique place in a charming (but...

A dinner at Restauracja Widnokrąg is an experience where history and culinary ambition converge. The restaurant’s atmosphere is steeped in the spirit of Sandomierz, and the food presentation is a testament to their creative aspirations. Most of the dishes I tried were delightful, save for the seasonal goose which was overcooked and lacked the succulence one would anticipate.

The concern I raised about the goose was met with well-meaning but ineffectual service. The chef did not come forth to discuss the culinary misstep, and the management’s delayed response suggested a misinterpretation of my intent. Offers of liqueur, coffee, and even a tour to observe the cooking process felt like attempts to compensate for what was perceived as a desire for discounts or freebies. However, my primary expectation was for the quality of the dish to match the standards set by the rest of the menu and for the restaurant to acknowledge the shortfall.

The reluctance to admit and address the shortcoming in the meal was disheartening. It overshadowed the otherwise enjoyable dishes and the rich ambiance of the restaurant. Acknowledging when a dish does not meet a customer’s expectation is as vital to the dining experience as the flavor itself. I hope that in the future, Restauracja Widnokrąg will not only deliver exceptional meals but also meet their guests’ feedback with open-mindedness and genuine...

First of all I would like to say this is just a note on the restaurant. We did not stayed at the hotel. Overall speaking we felt stolen. The prices are very far from fair. It's our second time in here. The first time in 2020 now in 2025. Prices back then were high, but still ok, prices now are just crazy. Is the quality bad, no, the quality is good, but for that prices you could expect excellence and that's not the case.

Examples: Rosol for kids 36zl. Extremely basic rosol that I even doubted it contained magi. Beef tenderloin with morels sauce 95zl. For that price i would spect to have a nice "tournedo" piece of meet and be asked how I would like the meat, or at least if not asked, to find a medium cooked tournedo. Instead I got cuted pieces of meat clearly not from tournedo part, tiny over cooked and in a sauce that tasted to any mushroom but morels, which is funny, cause the sauce contained morels, so my assumption was the sauce was mainly made with any other mushroom and then they added few morels to it. I liked the dish, don't get me wrong, but the problem is the price itself.

Probably last time there unless they balance...
