About
About 6.5km west of the Old Town, on a rocky outcropping at the edge of the forest overlooking the Wisła River, lies Przegorzały Castle - one of Las Wolski's highlights, and an easy short hiking destination with big rewards. While today the sunset views from the amazing terraces of the restaurant/cafe represent a motion-picture-perfect romantic retreat, this site has a sinister back story. Despite resembling an ancient royal residence, this picturesque estate actually only dates back to the late-1920s when local architect and conservator Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz built the building today known as the 'Bastion' as his family residence. Seized by the Nazis at the start of the war, the estate was soon transformed into a grand residential castle for Otto Wachter - the Nazi 'Governor of the Cracow district.' [It was Wachter who established the Krakow Ghetto and organised the mass murder of Polish Jews across Galicia; he also oversaw the execution of over 1000 ethnic Poles (mostly thought to be resistance fighters) in a mass grave nearby the castle known as 'Glinik.'] The estate's imposing main mountaintop villa - then called Schloss Wartenberg ('Castle Observatory'), and today known as Przegorzały Castle - was built in 1942-43 before work was stopped upon Wachter's reassignment to Lviv; original plans for a funicular railway from the base of the mountain to the castle were never completed.After the liberation of Krakow in 1945, the Bohusz family tried unsuccessfully to reclaim the property and it became the seat of the Department of Forestry. Today Przegorzały Castle houses Jagiellonian University's Institute of European Studies, and also the Centre for Holocaust Studies. For visitors, however, the main attractions are the restaurant and cafe 'U Ziyada,' whose multi-level terraces offer jaw-dropping views of the Wisła River and the valleys below; on clear days, the peaks of the Tatras can even be seen in the distance. Undoubtedly one of the most romantic, picturesque, and intimate locations in Krakow, dinner or even just a coffee at Przegorzały is the perfect end to a trip to Las Wolski; heck, the views easily justify taking a cab straight there from your hotel (20-35zł for the about 20min ride). Bus 409 delivers students here from the 'Stadion Cracovia' stop on weekdays during the academic year, or take bus 134 from the same spot and walk 15mins down the yellow trail from its drop-off at the Zoo.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a truly wonderful experience!!!💕 4 of us we just wanted to have a very light lunch with a bottle of good wine, but We ended up with delicious desserts and coffees! We’ve been very lucky from the very beginning: not only we’ve sitting on very hot day (14.08.) in the shadow and fantastic panorama but we’ve been served a really well educated and knowledgeable waiter (!!!) Mr Piotr (Mr Petro). He advise on wine was spotted on, plus out of menu desserts make our stay really refreshing and relaxing time!!! Thank you very much!!!

WOW - that's how you can describe this place. Last weekend, I visited this restaurant after many years with my significant others, whom I wanted to take to a place that would impress them, above all, in terms of good cuisine. And I was absolutely not disappointed here, because at Ziyada you can still eat at a world-class level. Traditionally, I ordered beef, my guests chose venison - we came across a new menu, which Mr. Piotr introduced us to. Despite the wild crowds, he impressed us with his professionalism and patience with my guests speaking different languages. You can see that the restaurant owners put a lot of effort into ensuring that everything here was tip top! Importantly, in addition to the kitchen and service, the package includes probably the most beautiful views in Krakow. This place simply blows away even a long-time visitor like me, and my companions are still singing with delight over this magical place. Big applause, we keep our fingers crossed for maintaining this place at a level that I rarely experience in Poland.

This restaurant is perfect for the sophisticated and creative people - WE are also need to eat! For those who are interested, the restaurant is located in the nature reserve "Przalski Skalki", which rise within a small fragment of the southern slope of the Sovetets ridge.🏞🌄 In this place you can nourish the body, soothe, wake up the soul. People sometimes lack this, and now with the charming sight of Krakov, Visla river and mountains, a kind of beacon for creative people is gaining strength. The organizers support the light, and visitors will help to become brighter. La carte est très bien - excellent cuisine, healthy products. Very friendly, pleasant and polite staff, service at altitude.❤️ Highly recommend!✨

Nope, dont bother to come here. Lots and lots of things. When entering, vaitress had no clue on where we should be seated. looooooong waiting, starter with ”hummus and tatziki” was something strange, not what I usually get when ordering, kids menue that was relly low. Vaitress didnt even now about it. And more to this but I dont want to spend any more time on this. So again, not worth the trip.

The view is amazing. The food is ok. There is a limited menu option. But the worst thing is the service. It is terrible. I had to wait 30 minutes for a single beer and it never came. I ordered beef ribs with potatoes (traditional ) instead there came mashed potatoes. The waiter said he would fix it. HE DID NOT. I ordered salt and pepper and pepper never came. At the end I decided to move and went to the cashier. The guy tried to charge for me the beer that never came and for the traditional potatoes that he confused and never came. If you have too much time and if you would like to be treated like an unwelcomed person , then good luck.

I used to enjoy going to this restaurant because of the magnificent location and view from the restaurant as well as very good food. The view is the only thing remaining (although the glass barriers on the balcony require urgent cleaning!!). The menu has literally 3 dishes. Food portions are so small it is ridiculous. Prices are very high and completely inadequate to the quality and quantity of the food. I will not be coming back, unless the quality of the food increases. The prices should also go down, the price of espresso is higher than in Italy or France - come on!

Very unique location, in a forest on a hill overlooking the river. Very attentive and careful service. The food was amazing. The rib and the tenderloin we had was soft, juicy and extremely tasty. Top notch were the desserts. Tehy are also about to open a 5 star hotel and will be back for sure to see how it looks soon.

Contrary to what some people mentioned we found the waiters friendly and their English was fine. However, somehow they could not keep up and it took about 45 minutes to get our main course. The parking in front, and next to the hotel was full - but about 100 meters down the hill there is another parking which had space. The food was tasty - though the risotto was quite wet. Not a culinary highlight but decent, especially as we were getting worried that it was one of those places that only got a nice location without matching food. Worth considering, but look around before ordering food to see how many tables have cutlery but no food!

We were in Cracow for a weekend, and we stayed in Forest Hotel, so we weren't able to resist going to this restaurant. The spot is situated on the hill, so views were also amazing - eating over the Wisła river and Cracow's countryside is a great experience. I was shocked about how pleasant the service was. The food was delicious - I'd even say luxurious. Great value for money. I highly recommend this place not only for family trips but also for date nights with your loved ones. We will definitely return, hopefully for even longer

What a special evening, at first we were worried as our table hadn’t been reserved, but the waiter soon sorted that out. The staff are very attentive, and friendly, giving us their personal recommendations through, and checking in. I would highly recommended this place for dinner, the views, the staff , the food all at such high quality.

What a perfect stop off while driving to or from Kraków or like us - during your cycle trip to Tyniec. This stunning spot, situated on a hill and next to a large forest, overlooks the Kraków countryside and Wisła river. Only the cafe is open at present (sept 2020) and only offers desserts, but they have a large selection of food or drink. The upper balcony is also not open but the ground floor balcony and courtyard with great views was still open. Service was fine. Worth the pit stop for a cold coffee on your adventures. Note Tyniec was still accessible by river crossing from this side of the Wisła.

Restaurant with fine and delicate gastronomy. The taste of each ingredient is carefully highlighted without distorting its flavor. Breathtaking view of the Vistula and the forest. Very friendly service but remains basic compared to the level of the restaurant.

we were at the zoo, we saw the sign indicating 10 minutes on foot, we walked 40 minutes. We tried to call but they didn't answer the phone. On the spot we waited for a table which is set free on the terrace but it was raining. the staff do not speak English, which is believed to be luxury but in reality they are very bad.

This is a picture postcard view. Very much worth the price of admission. Relatively reasonable prices for small portions of pretty good food.
