The place to visit if you’re looking to hit your daily calorie quota in one meal. Huge portions of acceptable food helped by enormous amounts of veg, cascade off the steel pans and wooden boards they’re served on, while uniformed staff weave between the bench seating serving frothing steins of lager. Great for groups and families, kids have their own large rumpus area, while the grown-ups soak up the beer hall atmosphere shouting over energetic live folk music. Litre beers are encouraged and half-price on Mondays, and there's a handy 'vomitorium' in the men's room - i.e, two enormous steel basins for those suffering from over-consumption to hock their recently imbibed pork hocks.

I agree with jim smith. Absoloutely my worst restaurant experience ever. After waiting for an hour we called over the waitress we've been told that she forgot to put our order in. I would not recomended it
service in pod wawelem is the worst ive ever had.Never got our meal and when we walked out they had the cheek to ask for money for looking after your coat. I would stay clear of this. Food looks big because they put lots of horrible cabbage that everyone leaves. I would not go back if you paid me
An excellent restaurant, very nice local atmosphere.The portions are (too!!) big. The waiter should tell to the customers, that the portions are huge. Two or three people coud share one portion. We felt sorry to vaste so much food, but it was impossible to eat it to the end. Tasty food and lovely live music. Best wishes from Two happy grand mothers, visited Pod Wawelem the 20.th and 23.th april 2010.
Beware. First of all, the food and ambience were excellent. However when it came time to pay our bill, they were insistent we pay by cash. When using visa, they cancelled our payment 3 times, and insisted we use a signature or else pay cash. They refused to accept our pin code. It all was very shady, and to top it off they had their gorilla close by to try and intimidate us. A bad taste was left to an otherwise pleasant evening.
The Pod Wawelem has very good food in wonderful surroundings at very reasonable pricing. Comfortable seating in the main dining beer hall or in the glassed-in porch. The included kapusta, pickles and berry wine are a treat. When the trio is playing their music, this place is heaven, especially for the weary traveler. A soothing experience where you feel like a local, not a tourist.
This is an excellent restaurant. The food is very good, and reasonably priced. The highlight of our many visits here, during our one week in Krakow, was the friendliness and attention of the staff. They were all very pleasant, led by the lovely Kasia, who seemed to be the manageress.I would recommend this place to all who visit Krakow. There are various offers on each night, but they are not needed. The volume of patrons here speak for themselves. I always try to eat where the locals eat, it is a good recommendation, and many of the customers were local people. Do not miss a visit to Pod Wawelem!!
