The story
Regale Bar & Restaurant in Kraków anchors its refined Polish cooking within the historic walls of Hotel Saski. F&B Manager Roman Pawlik guides the kitchen after transitioning from his earlier role as chef de cuisine. His approach treats seasonal regional produce as the starting point for every plate. A recent Gault & Millau score of 13.5 reflects how this disciplined methodology translates into consistently precise execution.
The à la carte selection and multi course tasting menus both honor contemporary Polish cuisine while following a strict seasonal rhythm. Guests frequently return for the spring asparagus served with a citrus tinged hollandaise that keeps the vegetables crisp. A delicate grilled chicken breast rests on pearl couscous to balance earthy grains with tender meat. Dessert duties fall to Torcik Saski, an intensely chocolate layer cake paired with a sharp blackcurrant reduction.
Emerald green walls, brushed gold trim, and soft rose accents define the main dining room’s art deco layout. Guests seeking quieter evenings can move to Saski Garden, a sheltered terrace designed for unhurried conversations. For larger gatherings, the Knotz Room features exposed historic brickwork that grounds the private dining experience in Polish culinary tradition.
