Wentzl Restaurant, Rynek Glowny 19, Old Town.

Wentzl

Kraków


This historic place, dating back to 1792, is perched above the Main Market Square, with timbered ceilings, oriental carpets and fine oil paintings all around. The food is sublime – cognac-flavoured foie gras, duck fillet glazed with honey, Baltic cod served with lentils and spinach – and the service is of a high standard.
