Pod Aniolami (Under The Angels) serves traditional and contemporary Polish food at reasonable prices, in a tasteful restored cellar. The wild boar with cranberries is excellent.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6248 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6153 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6153 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6114
All this – plus the eclectic collection of bric-a-brac on the walls and the friendly and efficient waiting staff – helped to create an interesting and pleasant atmosphere in which to enjoy the traditional Polish food (fish soup, tench in cream sauce, wild boar) that is on the menu.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6114 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6113
It’s a charming venue, the decoration is rustic with light green walls, wooden furniture, wooden shutters and subdued lighting - perfect for an intimate evening meal. The atmosphere too is lovely, welcoming and friendly, a lot of the credit for which must be given to the staff who were all excellent. While we were there a table of four rather demanding people arrived and the staff dealt with their ever-increasing requests with great patience and concern. More than I could have mustered - they were annoying me and I was just sitting there, not having to serve them!

As for the food, it too was excellent, well cooked, well presented and very tasty. And, though certainly not the cheapest place to eat in Krakow, it was very good value. A starter and main course each, one dessert, one coffee, a bottle of wine and two vodkas cost approx. 280 zloty (50.00 sterling/89 USD). Which for a slap up meal in a lovely place ain’t bad!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6113 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6292
As for the food, well, that was pretty good too. In fact it was very good with a menu that included a mixture of traditional Polish dishes, meat and seafood. Prices aren’t budget (£30.00-£40.00 for two courses plus wine and coffee) and are, perhaps, a little above average, however, it’s well worth paying for the food and ambience.

It was a pleasure to eat at Szara. The service was exemplary and the fact that our waiter looked a bit like the actor Owen Wilson was an added bonus]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6292
