This
restaurant
and
winery
is
located
directly
behind
a
busy
tram
stop,
so
I
popped
in
impulsively
(despite
being
on
my
way
to
dinner).
Everything
about
the
restaurant
is
charming,
the
menu
had
just
been
changed
that
very
day,
I
was
sat
outside
in
the
shade
of
a
peaceful
summer,
and
the
waiter
gave
me
his
full
attention.
I
ordered
the
risotto
as
soon
as
I
saw
it,
and
we
were
both
unsure
as
to
what
wine
to
have.
It
almost
became
a
friendly
political
debate.
I
was
told
the
story
of
Arcus,
the
perfect
wine
to
accompany
the
meal
due
to
the
fact
it
was
made
by
sour
grapes
imported
to
Poland,
which
combat
the
spiciness
of
the
chorizo,
completing
the
dish's
flavour
profile.
The
risotto
arrived
less
than
five
minutes
later.
Though
a
Mediterranean
dish
would
usually
have
a
Mediterranean
wine
recommended
with
it,
the
dish
had
its
Polish
influences.
Risotto
is
a
popular
dish
here
served
in
restaurants
with
either
mushrooms,
seafood,
or
local
vegetables.
The
use
of
pumpkin
and
chorizo
gave
a
unique
flavour
reminiscent
of
paella,
and
the
sprinkle
of
cheddar
cheese
instead
of
parmesan
reflected
exactly
why
this
is
not
a
Michelin
star
restaurant,
because
the
flavours
of
readily
available
foods
are
prioritised
over
the
perfect
ones.
This
was
not
only
my
favourite
risotto
in
Krakow
after
tasting
countless
others,
but
it
was
also
a
dish
which
I
believe
succeeded
the
flavour
of
other
dishes
in
Michelin
star
restaurants.
Was
it
perfect?
No.
Did
it
need
to
be?
No.
This
is
the
perfect
restaurant
for
anyone
who
is
hungry
in
Krakow,
due
to
its
low
price
point
and
delicious
results.
