One of the best finds in Krakow. I found it by accident, by chance, in 2004. Lived in Krakow for two years and every visit back, Balaton is a "must dine" location.

I first went to the Balaton in November, 1979, and can state that since then hardly anything in the restaurant has changed. Even the frying pans in the window display (or is that by the counter?) are the same as back in 1979. If anyone wants to see what "top end" Krakow dining was like back in the old days, drop in at the Balaton. The food is still hearty Hungarian, and they do give doggie bags, as portions are pretty hefty. Try the potato pancakes if you are headed out to walk a few kilometers around the old town on a winter's afternoon. The restaurant has a small cult following, as it has survived for so long and evokes nostalgia for anyone who has been visiting Poland for years and years.
