Paese

The owners of Paese have created a little gem on the quiet but central ul. Poselska. 'Paese' means 'land' in Corsican, and the idea here has been to re-create a corner of that island right in the heart of Cracow. Frankly, they have done a pretty good job of it. There's a warm and friendly atmosphere, a whiff of the old Mediterranean in the decor and, most importantly, terrific food served up by chef Marcin Palus. If fresh asparagus in vinaigrette, or tagliatelle in lemon sauce is your sort of thing, get down to this lovely corner in the Old Town.

"Oh my God!! I have literally just arrived home after dining in this restaurant and the first thing I had to do when I walked through the door was sin it's praises on this site. My friend and I both had the veal in balsamic sauce and it was amazing, my friend's grandmother had the tagliatelle with spinach in gorgonzola sauce and that too was mouth watering. All of our deserts were also of an amazing standard, so much so that my friend and I told two other diners (visiting from England) that this is by far the best restaurant food we have eaten since moving to Krakow 9 months ago. Even the waiting staff are helpfull and attentive, a refreshing change in this city. I can't recommend this place highly enough, GO THERE!!!"

"I can't say that I was overly impressed. Went here last night had the salad with goat cheese as a starter. salad was good but lacked much of a dressing. My main was the filet mignon with roast potatoes. Filet was tender and tasted very good. The roast potatoes were basically the frozen processed kind and not actual fresh potatoes cut and roasted in the oven...anyway they didn't taste good at all."

"This place was amazing. Service was first class and the food was lovely! The steak with peppercorn sauce is a must as well as the salmon in spinach! Evan the lettuce salad was lovely. So good we went there twice."

"On our final night in Krakow we wanted to go somewhere special. Very helpful staff, great location and atmosphere. Absolutely delighful food. My stuffed aubergine was perhaps a bit too salty but this was nothing to prevent us from having a wonderful dining experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Krakow intent on dining out in style."
