Michelin Distinction
Wine
Wine shapes the entire experience.
Kropka is a contemporary place in Kraków where wine shapes the entire experience. The restaurant is featured in the Michelin Guide and has been awarded the red grape symbol for an outstanding wine selection — a distinction granted only to venues with a truly exceptional and thoughtful wine programme. Kropka is Kraków's destination for natural wine — the only restaurant on Kazimierz awarded the Michelin red grape.
The list is built exclusively around natural and low-intervention wines from micro-producers — people who farm by hand, work with integrity and express their own philosophy rather than the expectations of the market. We choose bottles for character, honesty and authenticity — wines that carry a sense of energy, place and personality.
A natural wine list in Kraków awarded the Michelin red grape — built on conviction, not trend.
Known in Kraków as a destination for wina naturalne — natural wines with character, honesty and a sense of place.
Head Sommelier
Maciek Murzyniec
Maciej Murzyniec has been professionally involved in the world of wine for over a decade. For 5 years he served as head sommelier at Karakter restaurant, and for 8 years he collaborated with the Naturaliści import company, where he developed his knowledge and experience in natural wines. He is a constant seeker of wine 'unicorns' and a passionate enthusiast of French natural wines, though he equally enjoys bottles from various corners of the world. He finds the greatest value in direct wine discovery – through travels and meetings with producers. Currently, he is the head sommelier at Kropka restaurant, where you can taste wines from his signature list awarded the Michelin 'grape' distinction, given to only two restaurants in Kraków.
Selection pillars
Character & honesty
We choose wines for their energy, personality and authenticity — bottles that carry a sense of place and the producer’s philosophy.
Micro-producers
Exclusively natural wines from winemakers who work by hand, with integrity and respect for the land. Small allocations, limited micro-cuvées.
Living list
The selection evolves constantly — wines appear that rarely reach standard distribution, and vanish before you can memorise them.
Distinction
The red grape from Michelin.
The red grape symbol is awarded by Michelin Guide inspectors to restaurants with an exceptional, thoughtful wine list. In Kraków only two restaurants have received it — Kropka is one of them.

Team
People who truly love natural wine.
Our servers genuinely love natural wine — for its character, its truthfulness and its refusal to be polished into sameness. They know the stories, the growers and the regions, and share them with enthusiasm rather than formality.
Guests feel guided by people who are personally invested in what they pour, not simply trained to describe it.
Wine & Menu
The dialogue of plate and glass.
The kitchen at Kropka is equally authentic, seasonal and product-driven, focused on honest flavours and thoughtful simplicity. Dishes are created with respect for ingredients and designed to pair naturally with the energy and structure of our wines.
Together they create a coherent, living ecosystem — built on sincerity, craftsmanship and a shared passion for expressive, real wine.
