Restaurant 

The restaurant which was the basis for founding the Wentzl hotel was opened in 1792. Jan Wentzl, its founder has moved his business to this building in the 18th century. Since then the restaurant has remained in Wentzls’ hands. Throughout two centuries it managed to gain an excellent image. Some say it is the best restaurant in whole Krakow. While coming to the Wentzl restaurant or even while passing by it is worth taking a look at the painting on the façade of the building. The legend says that it was created by the Krakow Academy’s student in order to repay the debts for the food and drinks he had made in the restaurant. The interiors of the Wentzl restaurant remind of the places Polish aristocracy used to eat in previous centuries. Neatly prepared tables, the candles on them, ornamented, renaissance doors and a stove in the corner of the rooms make the meal in the Wentzl restaurant a very nice experience. The renaissance interiors are touched with the modernity (e.g. the lights). The restaurant’s french chef, Mr. Anthony Lelievre took care about a wide choice of the dishes from the Polish and international cuisine. All the dishes are sophisticated and the guest who has decided to have lunch or dinner at the Wentzl restaurant has a really tough choice to make. Should one choose the chanterelle stewed in cream fried with some poultry or maybe duck fillet with light rosemary aroma with vegetables and foie gras, orange sauce or wild boar tenderloin marinated in dried cranberries in sichuan pepper sauce? Which delicious dessert to choose? (The Wentzl confectioneries are very famous among Krakow citizens). And there is a wine choice left as well. The helpful restaurant’s staff will help you to make the right choice. The prices in the Wentzl restaurant are higher than average, but the delicacies prepared by the chef will make the cost sweet. Apart from the culinary ones, there are also artistic sensations waiting for the Wentzl’s guests in the restaurant.
