La Fontaine


Slip into one of Cracow's cellars for some of the best French cuisine available in the city, prepared by a two-times award-winning chef. There's a delightful summer garden to compliment the upmarket interior, but wherever you choose to dine here, expect the finest quality of service as well as food, and make sure to leave plenty of room for the fabulous dessert trolley. Rather elegant.

"I ate at La Fontaine last night and experienced a truly memorable meal. Attentive service, good wine cellar and the food was the best I have experienced in Krakow. The gourmet salad starter (scallops, king prawns & foie gras) may sound OTT but it really works & is delicious. The duck fillet with wild mushrooms was perfectly presented and an absolute delight. I'm back in the UK tonight, but I wish I was back at La Fontaine to explore more of the menu. I recommend it, i'd call it superb."

"All the good things said by previous reviewers are absolutely true. The venu, the food, and the staff are exceptional. Maybe the very reasonable price reflects the problems of September 2005, so go while you can!"

"entrée: parmentier d'escargots plat pricipal: gibier servi comme entrée sans escargots mais où était la biche? Mon invité a dû bien chercher pour trouver les St Jacques dans son plat. Trop cher pour ce qui est dans l'assiette. Réputation surfaite malgré une très belle présentation. "

"As a "gourmet", I'm used to good tables and was more than agreeably surprised for what I found in LA FONTAINE. Real good French cuisine, great atmosphere, perfect service and surprisingly acceptable prices. For those who read earlier stories, a new cuisine staff had just arrived a few days earlier and didn't seem to be particularly fund of salmonellas."

"Two friends, my wife and myself, visited krakow in May 2006. We had read the reviews relating to the Swedes, but decided nvertheless to give it a try. Firstly the restaurant is located in a superb cellar, secondly the staff were young women who were super efficient and very friendly. Lastly the food was extremely good and reasonably priced. In fact our overall opinion was so high that we re-visited the restaurant for a 2nd time during our Krakow stay."

"The French restaurant La Fontaine in Cracow is a shame! Some swedish doctors were poisonned in this restaurant in September 2005.The Polish authorities discovered dirt and stale food in their kitchen.If you type La Fontaine restaurant on Google or Aol or Yahoo you will read an article from Le Monde relating these sad news.It is dangerous to send clients there.As a French person I am very embarrassed by this!What a bad publicity for France in Cracow the most beautiful ciy in Poland! A French resident from Cracow."

"For those of you who want to know: More than two weeks have passed. Most of the people in the swedish are still sick. If this one ever opens again - be careful!"

"When aprox. 30 dentists and dental nurses from Stockholm visited La Fontaine on September 1, 2005 all of them got heavily sick from salmonella. Most of them had to go to hospital both in Cracow and later on in Stockholm. Many of them are still sick more than a week later. I wouldn´t recommend this restaurant."

"One of the most amazing meals I've ever had! We went at an off-hour and had practically the entire place (and definitely the entire waiter) to ourselves. Each room of the cellar is distinctly decorated, to create an enchanting atmosphere. The food, down to each aperitif, was delicious. The dessert -- a sampling of five different cakes and treats -- was divine. And then the grand finale -- a check that did NOT cost an arm or a leg. Magnifique!"

"Un véritable festival gastronomique, de la mise en bouche au charoit de desserts, sans oublier le cadre superbe et l'accueil des plus chaleureux. Le "must" à Cracovie!"
