It's all about the balance between price and flavour when it comes to restaurant reviews for me. The service was absolutely amazing, our water was giving us all the information  needed and was very attentive and caring. Food quality was topnotch, but flavour was lacking. Most of the dishes needed elevating the taste. I wish all the luck to them on their path to getting michlein 🌟.

There are many TOP restaurants in Krakow, but if you want something really special, you have to give a chance to enjoy an explosion of tastes, serving dinner or lunch here at FOLGA. Delightful food, nice and knowledgeable staff. Great experience at all!!! I will come back.

The value for money is quite poor here  - we tried almost the full dinner menu to form our opinion, and all the dishes were quite disappointing, not sure how it got into the Michelin Guide - too much salt, oil and butter - if it's a starter or a main, or sugar - if it's a dessert, "balance and seasonality" - it's not something that's taken into consideration here.  The non-alcoholic drinks menu is completely overlooked too. The service is average and the atmosphere is unremarkable. Considering the price point and the ambition that the restaurant conveys, I'd say, there are far better options for fine dinning in Krakow.

UPD since the reply from FOLGA:
1. I did not delete my review - I edited it a few times. Perhaps Google shows it as deleted and re-added.
2. I write my reviews when I have time, not as soon as I visit a place. If the standards of the cooking and the menu have changed in a month - that’s great news. I did however share my experience at the time. Hope it’s useful for people who are considering spending their money at FOLGA.

A very nice restaurant in Krakow for us. It does play with some modern and international elements but it stays very much within tasty scope rather than focusing on decoration and pricy food options.

The middle eastern Jewish appetizers (chopped liver, hummus, baba ganoush) were good, not really authentic but with a reasonable twist.

Labneh with pumpkin was their own and a touch insufficient in actual labneh taste to be called that.

Onion soup was beautiful, not too heavy and with very sharp concentrated flavor. Loved it.

The venison burger was gorgeous and certainly a highlight. Perfectly executed, not overdone and very well balanced.

Service was excellent, very professional and courteous.

Quite good, we are likely to be back next time we are in Krakow.

A beautiful evening with exceptional food but the experience was really made perfect by our server, David, who was friendly, attentive, funny and shared excellent recommendations for our wine and food. Thanks for a perfect meal! Everyone must try the sea bream and truffle pasta, and the tuna ceviche these were the best dishes!
