Uncompromising, respectful of every ingredient
Our menu is a collection of signature ideas inspired by the world, yet firmly rooted in Polish locality. We cook close to the season, close to the producer, and close to a full circle — so every ingredient earns its place on the plate.
Head Chef
Szymon Sierant
Szymon spent years in Scandinavia before deciding that Kraków is the only place where he wants to cook.
He honed his experience in places such as Grefsenkollen, Trattoria Popolare, the Michelin-starred Fauna, and the legendary Arakataka. It was in Oslo that Szymon found the style he now cultivates at Kropka – smart casual dining. Scandinavia taught him that advanced fine-dining techniques and top-quality products can coexist with an absolutely casual, relaxed atmosphere.
Seasonality
We cook in rhythm with the seasons, with respect for the land and those who cultivate it. We don't chase trends. We follow what grows. When the season passes, we process and ferment — so the flavor lasts longer than a moment.
Fine de Claire oyster, apple, fennel and cucumber granita.
Cod, pickled celery, cabbage, broccoli, bottarga, rhubarb.
Short rib, rutabaga, mushrooms, port, roasted onion.
Polish product
We work with small, regional suppliers we know by name. We buy whole carcasses and use them nose-to-tail — with respect for the animal and the farmer’s work. Polish culinary traditions are filtered through the head chef’s experience and translated into a modern, signature language.
Lamb, yoghurt, black garlic, sorrel salad, harissa.
Nothing goes to waste here.
Nothing goes to waste here.
We work in the spirit of zero waste. We make our own ferments, pickles, vinegars, preserves and stock bases, and turn by-products — whey, shavings, peels — into new dishes. Trimmings and bones come back as broths, oils and snacks.
Surplus seasonal produce is preserved through fermentation and pickling. We work with small Polish producers we know by name, which shortens transport and keeps sourcing fully transparent.
