Located in a charming townhouse near Mały Rynek, Czerwone Korale (ENG: Red Beads) boasts glass-bottle-bottom windows, timber beam ceilings and subtly folk-inflected decor punctuated by wicker-wreath chandeliers wound with bright ribbons and the red beads that give the place its name. Plenty of colour comes from the kitchen as well, which serves all the Polish standards, including plenty of vegetarian options, but with some creative innovations and a flair for presentation. Overall, the quality of the food makes Czerwone Korale not only a pleasant surprise, but also a great value.

I fell for the reviews of this restaurant, and was there this evening.
It's not a bad place, but the food was underwhelming and is overpriced for what it is. The pierogi were good, but my pork chop was formed from about 20 different animals...
The decor is interestingly kitsch, but the place is so brightly lit that there is no atmosphere.
Most of the reviews here sound as if they are written by the owners. You can do better...

We have just returned from a fantastic 5 day holiday in Krakow and enjoyed two lovely meals in this restaurant.
From the menu we tried Polish dumplings, stuffed cabbage leaves, Polish pork stew on potato pancakes and turkey in a leek sauce - not all on the same night!
The food is beautifully presented and tastes amazing.
There is an elevated table in the window, which is a great place to sit and watch the world go by while you enjoy your food with a nice cold beer.
We will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we are in Krakow!

I was in a restaurant with his wife on Friday 22/03/2013 I had a great tasting walleye, salmon wife ordered was great too. For dessert we had apple pie and ice cream with hot raspberries. Everything was fresh, fragrant and we tasted. Service very friendly and efficient. The restaurant interior captivating and charming.
