CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Krakow

Cyrano de Bergerac’s top reputation as a French-inspired restaurant goes back to when it opened its doors in 1997.  Located just steps from Krakow’s Main Square, its historic setting within a multi-level cellar was once a place where mead or honey wine was brewed over 160 years ago! The décor comprising rich tapestries, antique furniture, and artwork goes together with an impeccable staff— all making dining here at a class which is now increasingly rare. The stellar menu attracts guests from all over— with starters such as the terrine de foie gras, to exhilarating main dishes such as the snails bathed in wild garlic and forest mushrooms, frog legs in tender Savoy cabbage laced with bacon, and the celebrated Wellington tenderloin in golden pastry and a velvet pepper sauce. For dessert, the crème brulée with vanilla bourbon is always a favorite choice. And the well-compiled wine list, mostly French derived, is designed to pair excellently with the menu. A memorable experience!
