Some of the best restaurants in Krakow are hidden away in hotels, as is the case with the celebrated Amadeus restaurant on Mikolajska street. Descending into the 17th century cellar, I was greeted by a decadent interior full of elegant upholstery, refined table linens, sparkling chandeliers - and the odd pillar. Naturally enough, considering the restaurant’s namesake, a musical theme has developed, with violins hanging from the walls, a piano tucked away in the corner and plenty of painted murals of players making merry on their instruments. Needless to say, however, it is Wolfgang himself who presides over the speakers. The cuisine is a mix of international greats as well as Polish classics, from a time long before zapiekanki were invented. If you’ve got a bigger budget than the Krakow Post dining editor then you might want to try the restaurant’s piece de resistance, venison stuffed with shrimp, king prawns and clams. A seasonal menu keeps Amadeus’ aficionados coming back for more.
