The heart of Krakow

is pear shaped

That is what we say at Pod Gruszką…and every day we do our best to prove it. The quality of our products is what we value the most. Our menu is composed of fresh, Polish ingredients. Some of them we grow ourselves and others come from local farmers. Pod Gruszką is full of secrets, not all of which we can disclose, yet the quality of the products is definitely one of them.

To taste some more quality Polish food in Krakow visit our other restaurant – Avangarda Restaurant.

Krakow armosphere

Apart from its rich history Pod Gruszką is the centre of Krakow’s artistic and intellectual life. Since 1951 there has been the Journalist Club in the building. Many prominent Polish artists, journalists and writers have been its guests and members – you can sometimes meet them at our restaurant and some of their photos decorate our walls.
They come to the restaurant to escape from the bustle of the Market Square and admire the view.

Historical

place

Pod Gruszką is located on the first floor of the 14th century tenement by Krakow’s Main Market Square. The place’s historical name ‘Pod Gruszką’ (originally ‘Sub Pira’ or ‘Sub Pyrn’) translates as ‘Under the Pear’. One of the house’s interiors is called the Fontana’s Hall – it is recognized as one of the most beautiful baroque interiors in Poland. The ornaments resemble those in the church of St. Thomas at Castel Gandolfo. This room is considered the oldest in the building, with a Romanesque vault, rich in ornaments and Dutch wall tiles from the 17th century.
