| | "If I had one day in Krakow I would eat here, even though it isnt Polish, the dishes are amazing. My friends who have eaten here still tell me how their mouths water thinking about the potato pancaked. This place is classic. The interior looks like hardcore communism but the food is unbelievable. SUPERB!" | paulus

| | "my wife val and our 2 friends june and alan from cramlington/ashington had all agreed that we would go to the balaton for the ghoulash, we thought it was a really great dish, very tasty with the right quantity of spices, a very substantial amount meant we just managed to finish a truly authentic offering, from a very friendly and curtious staff, the red wine wasnt bad either. We then ventured into the town to be entertained by a tremendous blues band in the celler of the jazz club next to paparazzi were we warmed up with mad dog vodka's for the boys and cognac for the girls, brilliant and that was only one of 7 excellent nights in krakow." | ken ormston

| | "We were actually planning to go to Pod Aniolami, however it was closed for refurbishment. This was the restaurant next door.
If you want a large portion of food and not too fussed about taste then this is the place for you. The service was good and the meal cheap. Inside lacks atmosphere. Even if you choose a non smoking place, be prepared to have your clothes smelling of smoke. " | Alicia Sacha

| | "Visited this restaurant on the last night of our holiday. Service was excellent but food was average - nothing to rave about. Ordered a carafe of chardonnay from the wine list but not what we were given - wine was a pale brown colour and totally disgusting. Restaurant did try to rectify this problem but do not appear to know their wines! " | Pam Tait

| | "Three years ago we were in Kraków with my wife on honeymoon. We had a lunch in Balaton restaurant there. I know the Hungarian kitchen well - but this one was not so original. Seemed like some Polish vandering a lot in Hungary during the 80's would founded a restaurant ten years later basing on his vague memories ... We have a bottle of quite good welshriesling from Eger/Bükkalja wine region from Hungary, but the food was terribly fat, my wife got a big mouth-herpes because of her disgust..." | Miklós

| | "My boyfriend and I ended up at the Balaton on our first night in Krakow as it was the only place out of about 5 other restaurants where we could walk in without a reservation. It was such a good find! The food was delicious and very generous portion sizes for really cheap price. Would reccommend the soups - especially bean, which arrived in huge bowls hanging above flames!! The veal goulash is excellent, the meat just melts in your mouth! An excellent first meal out." | Anna Newman

| | "can't agree with any of your other reviews. we had lukewarm fish soup,I did not rate the goulash at all and the wine was worse than poor.one saving grace was the service, it was excellent and consequently allowed us to leave our almost full plates with indecent haste. can't imagine we will be back." | derek brown

| | "Balaton is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. The staff is excellent and the food is delicious. At lunch I usually get the mushroom soup with bread (some of the best mushroom soup I've had in Krakow) and it's great on a cold day! At dinner the Hungarian appetizer can be a bit of an adventure for some, but I definately recommend trying it. I've spent 3 months in Krakow and, despite it's touristy location, this is one of my regular stops." | Travis

| | "Can't believe nobody hasn't raved about this place already. The service, setting and food here is of the highest order. Try the soups - all of them are great with a special mention going out to the fish soup. Then try their fantastic pork goulash with potato pancake. If there's a better goulash in Krakow then I'll eat my hat!" | Denzil Watson
