Jadłodajnia U STASI — Restaurant in Krakow

A proper Polish experience, just off the main square. It may be a bit challenging to locate, nestled down an alley between two other establishments, but if you're in search of genuine 'home style' Polish food, this place is worth the effort to find. Very good, simple and authentic food with a concise one page menu. It's no frills, in and out, always fresh and popular with the local people. It can get busy as it's not a large place but turnaround is quite fast so wait a few minutes and a seat will become available. Don't be scared to share a table (think Wagamama).

Highly recommended. If you want to try the taste of a typical polish homecooking, this is THE PLACE. Rosół (meat broth) is just as my grandpa used to make it. Kiszka (blood sausage) and pierogi z serem (sweet pierogis) were delicious as well. In Kraków, there is plethora of mediocre places that try to lure tourist with offerring supposedly typical polish cuisine. Dob't get fooled, this is one of the few places in Kraków that can really stand up to the promise. Moreover, this place has been around for a while now-my friend who lives in Kraków took me here saying "let's go to the place where my parents used to eat when they...
