Quite a launch party this place: according to legend the opening night back in 1364 was attended by five kings and nine princes. Since then it’s been one esteemed guest after another, with former diners including De Gaulle, Bush, Castro and other bods who influence the way the globe spins, as well as starlets like Sophie Marceau and Kate Moss. A set of wooden stairs lead to a series of imposing rooms decked out with tapestries and plantlife while a seriously high-end menu includes 'pike perch flamed in mead'.

  The Zurek soup is barely passable. Bland not spicy and no kielbasa in it. worse I've ever had in PL. May 2011

  First time I visited Krakow in December 1939 escaping to Hungary. Could not afford time or money then. Second time in 1989 on June 2 election day with my wife. Had fantastic few meals and afternoon cakes and tea downstairs at Wierzynek. Third time in 1994. Took my son to Wierzynek and he would not go to any other restaurant for the rest of our stay in Krakow. Thank you for the fantastic epicurean experience.Tadeusz November 30,2010

  Even in communist times the Wierzynek had professional service, wonderful atmosphere and fine food. The US students in Krakow would have their annual Thanksgiving dinner there every year, and it was always a fantastic evening. The chef has expanded the menu considerably since then, and the ambience is one for a special event. Not cheap, but worth it. Afterward, a walk around the Old Town Square to walk off the dinner and get some fresh air is a great way to finish the evening.
