The name of the restaurants refers to the Polish novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz (one of the most famous Polish authors).The idea of the interior design (includiging waitress' dresses) was taken entirely out from the book. There are many enthusiasts of the place, what creates the necessity of booking the table well in advance.Traditional, Polish food makes the place worth visiting...

Try the sampler of 3 meats: beef ribs, pork knuckle and traditional Polish ham. The ham was the closest thing to an Easter ham in the US style we have found since moving here 2 years ago. Delicious! My favorite drink was gluhwein (mulled hot red wine with spices) and the various beers were excellent. My 6 year old son loved his potato pancakes with goulash.
The adults received free shots (about 50 ml) of honey vodka and a mixed Polish cabbage, carrot and pickle salad, and some bread with preserved bacon meat/bacon lard spread on top, was served on the side.
The decor is rustic; cannon, covered wagons, wooden tables and wicker in the courtyard, and bearskins, boar and candlelight indoors. Price is reasonable and service excellent. Both Mateusz (he may have been the chef) and the female staff spoke English well enough that we felt comfortable with very little Polish. Alcohol and food had to be paid for separately (two receipts/bills); credit cards are accepted.
The restrooms were sparkling clean and there is a small park across the street, for kids to run off their energy after dinner.
It is not far from the Podgorze town square, just across the river from the center of town; trams from the city center and outlying Borek station stop nearby.
