Garden Restaurant

We celebrated our mother's birthday at the Garden end of August and experienced an exceptional meal! We had the long version of the tasting menu and were absolutely thrilled about it - don't skip anything (we did not feel overeaten at the end)! Each course was a tasty creation, an outstanding combination of flavors. Service was professional, polite and friendly, the sommelier one of the best I have ever met: The wine pairing was outstanding. Each glass was offered with passion and interesting information as to the wine itself and as to the harmony it should evolve together with the course. It was an unforgettable evening.

Definitely the best tasting menu that I have ever had anywhere in the world. The service was immaculate and every dish was perfect! I definitely plan on retuning!

We had dinner at Garden Restaurant, located in the Art and Garden Residence Hotel in Krakow, housed in a modern building about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town's central market square. The setting is cozy yet elegant, we were lucky that it was warm enough to dine in the lovely inner courtyard. The service was very professional and friendly. The restaurant offers a tasting menu that they happily modifed to be pescetarian. The cuisine is modernized Polish, the chef plays with textures and flavors using techniques from molecular gastronomy. We encountered a variety of interesting flavor profiles, including curry and wasabi. Some dishes clearly stood out. The interpretation of Mizeria (Polish cucumber salad) as a liquid shot with a foam of sour cream was particularly memorable, as was the modern take on a traditional gulasz. They have a good cocktail list for an aperitif and an extensive wine list. The wine pairing was excellent, featuring both Polish and international wines, which complemented the food well. Overall, we'd recommend Garden Restaurant not just for the food, but also for the chance to explore a residential area of Krakow that’s off the beaten track. It’s definitely worth a visit.

In one word: INCREDIBLE! Never had such an amazing gastronomical experience like this before. The restaurant itself is beautiful and is very nicely decorated, loving the jungle style and monkey’s overload. Once seated you’ll be taken for an almost 3(!) hour extremely tasteful ride. I won’t spoil it, but with the spring menu mid meal you’ll get an explosive palate cleanser. Definitely will go back. From start to finish, hats off for the whole staff and kitchen at Garden Restaurant.

I recently attended with my wife and we chose the full experience. The portions are small as expected but there are a lot so don’t worry you’ll be full afterwards. The dishes were an interesting take on local Polish cuisine consisting of beetroot, mackerel and shrimps to name a few. The menu changes depending on the season but the favourites are usually kept. The staff were very knowledgeable and passionate about the food and the restaurant. It’s definitely on the more expensive side of dining in Poland but if you’re looking for something exciting I highly recommend.
