- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- I had the arguably the best food of my travels, you have to try it. Polish food is great but the Polish potato pancakes with goulash was by far the best dish I have had in Europe this time around. I will remember this for a very long time and will come back to Poland just to have this meal again.
After a day of online work as digital nomads, we explored Krakow at night and it is just as stunning as the day before stumbling across the restaurant Szynk. Highly recommend coming here on your next trip to Krakow.

We are an English couple who met in Thailand, got engaged in Czech Republic and have continued to travel the world together ever since!
Our most recent challenge was leaving the UK with just £500 between us and the aim to create a sustainable travel lifestyle!
We work online and aim to spread the message of “Earn Less, Live More”, which encourages people to question the true definition of success, and to pursue what makes them truly happy instead of chasing only money.
Creating this lifestyle has helped us through depression and given us an incredible opportunity to make our lives more fulfilling. We want others to do the same!
There is a sentence in Poland and Hungary. Pole and Hungarian are two nephews up to the saber and into the glass. Hungarian goulash is a soup. Polish goulash is stew. This pancake is often called a pancake in the Hungarian style. They don't know this dish in Hungary. The only thing that connects this dish is the word goulash. I recommend soup Żurek from the kitchen of farmers. For a vegetarian, there may be a red borscht soup with dumplings (ears - uszka).Delicious is a Polish duck (duck stuffed with apples), knuckle in beer (Golonka). Poland is famous for its sausages. Krakow is famous for its dry Krakowska sausage. Strong alcohol is Żubrówka vodka (a bison vodka) She must be served in a drink "szarlotka"(apple pie). Polish traditional apple pie is delicious. Bon appétit
Thanks so much for all the food info! I'm hungry now... :)

Funny fact: Poland has loats of dishes that are named as if they were foreign origin, but usually natives from those countries never heard of it:)
We have:
- Hungarian (or Bohemian) potato panceke (this is what you had)
- British (Bretagne?) Beans
- Ukrainian Barsch
- Russian (more like Ruthenian actually) pierogies
- Greek fish
- Italian ice cream
- french croissant (rogal - that is not close to what French call croissant)
- jewish herring
and more...
@@panciopinczera7488 Why did you include Ruthenian pierogies on that list? The name origins from Red Ruthenia and it has nothing to do with Russia and so called "foreign origin", as Red Ruthenia territory belonged (and a part of it still belongs) to Poland . The problem is that most of the shops, restaurants and so on translate "ruskie" as "russian", where it should be "ruthenian", as you mentioned. Still - this ain't foreign.
@@MrMeduzification Thats my point - neither of those dishes is foreign. And, like you saisd- many people think "ruskie" somes from russian, hence why its on the list...
@@panciopinczera7488 And still, as all dishes are "fake foreign", you can't put the Ruthenian pierogies on that list. They just don't fit there, if you know that "ruskie" is from Ruthenia and not from Russia. It isn't "fake foreign", if there isn't anything foreign in the name. "Lots of dishes that are named as if they were foreign origin" - there's nothing foreign about Red Ruthenia
Krakow was one of our favorite cities!! The delicious food, yummy beer and kind people. We cannot wait to return ❤️
Ian am not into travelling however Ian subscribed to Your channelmpurely for you two.Your personalities are vlogs are fantastic.I love to watch people who enjoy what they do and you two clearly do
"Hungarian Pancakes" are the best!! When my friends, foreigners, were to visit me, I asked my mother to prepare this dish.
Hi guys. So chuffed you got yourself a vegan kebab Emma - we had a great vegan burger in Krakow but forgot to tell you about it in time. Cosy moments out of the cold with a mulled wine are the best.....Krakow is such a cosy city. We didn't visit the Pinball Museum for the exact same reason - too much money.
so many cosy places!
Apple Juice and Vodka. Ok, but not just regural vodka! Apple juice and Żubrówka! The Bison Grass Vodka! That's special treat!
"Like most vodkas, żubrówka is usually served chilled on its own. A very popular alternative is mixing it with apple juice (a drink known in Polish as tatanka (Lakota for "American bison") or szarlotka (Polish for "apple cake"); known in the UK as a Frisky Bison; and in the US as a Polish Kiss). It is sometimes served over vanilla ice cream,[9] and another common mixer is ginger ale. While a "Black Bison" is żubrówka mixed with black currant juice.
I've heard the nickname of "Forrester's Breath", and it's definitely my favourite :)
I am Polish and this “pancake “ is my favourite meal ! I live in UK but every time I am in Poland I must eat it! :)
I still dream of this meal. The best comforting winter meal ever!

Wait a sec... Potato pancakes stuffed with goulash, then topped with SOUR CREAM AND cheese?! ARE you effing serious?! OMG, you JUST gave this Polish-American a foodgasm!!😀 I NEED to get my dupa to Krakow,especially since my Polish relatives tell me that it's so beautiful there your retinas 👀 get goosebumps!! I LIKE your channel and the lovely accents- I'm DEFINITELY gonna Sub. When I head over to Poland, I'll need to have some Bangers and Mash in your country as well!!😀
So missing Krakow after watching this you guys. Luv it! 😃 The prices at the Pinball Museum seem to be much higher since we were there. 😕 (Edit: Actually what we ended up doing is just paying for myself... Anna just had beer and watched) - Trevor
That explains your extravagant lifestyle, I knew there was no way people could afford 2 tickets :)
My wife and I are in Krakow for a vacation and we went to Szynk today! It has changed since you guys were there, but the food was great, the service was great, and the restaurant is just adorable! I had the same dish as you Alex, but they've upped their plating game significantly - still delicious though! My wife had the Beef Tripe soup and it was even better than the goulash! Seriously, anyone in Krakow go check it out.
You are awesome 😃 potato pancakes are simply the best and I eat them all the time 💗 Greetings from Wrocław!
Piękna i zabawna para. Bardzo dobrze was się ogląda :) Pozdrawiam i powodzenia !!!
Yes, placek po węgierski, jest przepyszny 😋
👊💯
Polish food is amazing!!! Im Soooo hungry nowy!!!😋
and people don't usually mention the potato pancakes because if you ask me... I didn't even think it was such a specifically polish thing!
And it's also like a meal you eat at home that is easy to make and is quite lazy... while making things like golonka or pierogi is a hussle and it's not something you eat other than in restaurants or on holidays!
Very glad you enjoyed Krakow and our food!!! : D
Relatively new to your channel but wow!! You guys are breath of fresh air, can't wait to start our full time travel once our bambeanos are old enough to go it alone...(about 5 yrs)!! You have added alot more places to our own must do list!
Love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
Very beautiful video. Nice creation. Great work friends.
Oh man! Poland seems wonderful! I’m a sucker for pinball and play loads in my town. However, I’ve tried many times to get friends to attend a free play arcade but it’s just not everyone’s thing. Actually most people haha Anyways, love your videos and I really try nowadays to embody your motto! Make less and live more. Wow, so good! Cheers!
Thanks for watching Jessica! If you ever go to Krakow you should definitely check out the pinball place.. sounds like you would appreciate it much more than us! :)
I came across your channel yesterday. I'm loving it guys! greetings from Glasgow :)
Greetings from a Polish vegetarian for a vegetarian.🙋
Happy that you enjoyed our food:-) it is tasty:-)
We just started to travel once around the world as our honeymoon for 2 years and wanted to thank for the inspiration and for sharing your experience .
Would be very thankful for any kind of feedback and support.
Traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer 😉
Many thanks for recommendation. When I will be in Krakow I HAVE to eat there!
Dobry pomysł na knajpę w Londynie z plackami zbójnickimi i grzańcami.
I love how Alex always looks like a local when getting his Haircut in a country. Looking sharp
He does look kind of polish lol quiet a lot like my cousin
You mentioned one of my absolute favourite dishes :) The other version of potato pancakes I love comes with salmon and yoghurt garlic herbal sauce. Try it some day.
Oh my! I need to try this.
I'm glad Poland is veg friendly! I was there in 2009 and found it incredibly difficult to eat. Had a conversation at a restaurant about how chicken was their vegetarian option. Good thing about travelling with a meat eater is you can swap meal bits and veggie pieces.
Yes, it was a huge surprise tbh but it was extremely veggie friendly. I guess with the boom of tourism in the last 10 years, it is becoming easier and easier :)
Poland is becoming veggie and vegan paradise lately :)!
Both vegan and vegetarian are becoming popular lately so there is a boom of products and restaurants of such variety in bigger cities so it's ideal for tourists.
Yeah, potato pancake Hungarian style, or Gypsy style, one of my favourites, too!
Gulasz have hungarian origins, but it is also popular in Poland. Maybe that is why they didnt mention that. And it is great with this potato pancakes. I love it too.
Those potato pancakes with goulash are my favorite comfort food too. It's often called "placki po węgiersku" (i.e. "Hungarian pancakes") or "placki po zbójnicku" ("thug pancakes?"). And that goulash was for sure pork, at least that's how it should be.
Oh my goodness, you two made me giggle, fine job!
mission accomplished! :)
Tez to lubie😁
Love you guys!!
Glad you like Poland :) enjoy
You are very adorable couple, I'm watching you smiling :)
It's 4 a.m. I'm watching this and I'm getting hungry...😛
Placek po węgiersku- my favourite dish :)
Now i also feel like eating it !!
Love it love me some goulash ❤️
Love you both. Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome :)
Apple juice goes only with żubrówka !😉
Just recently started to travel, long term (hopefully). Have happened more than once that I got somewhere seen the price and turned around
I'm glad we're not the only ones! haha
Try it next time in Poland :
Bigos , krokiety , gołąbki and the best soup in the world flaczki 😚
Need to try the vodka an apple juice, just have never heard of the 2 together.
Neither had we until we came to Poland! Also, normal vodka and apple juice is not as good... make sure you use Żubrówka (bison grass vodka) and cloudy apple! It tastes like apple pie! 😋
ZAKOPANE JEST PIEKNE❤
Better than hash browns, isn't it? ;) Potato pancakes are simple and easy to prepare them, I always struggle to buy them when I am coming back from the UK. Try croquettes with beetroot soup (barszcz czerwony z krokietami) or broth (rosół).
I would recommend Polish soups espcially tomato soup, also you must try cucumber salad, cauliflower, sausages with mustard and bread.
Easily the best place for a over 30s stag weekend. If you go back check out the gaming pub near the main square, I would tell you the name but you have Google. Also you have to go on a good tour, I did one for about £12 and had so much food plus the tour guide gave me so much interesting infomation. I will be doing it again when I go back
dzięki za reklamę polskiej kuchni w Anglii !!
To jest placek po wegiersku. Słówo Gulasz tez pochodzi z Węgier.
it is in polish restaurants in London ;)
This is only Poland , really 😋
Gulasz is originally from Hungary, but Poland does it to (credits to Hungary) , typically with potato pancakes
The old tobacco factory (Stara Fabryka Tytoniu) on the lower mills(Dolne młyny) is a good place for a gastronomic trip. You must try the zapiekanka. This is traditional street food. You've to go to the Jewish quarter(Kazimierz) to the Sq. Nowy (Sq.New) Pinball game and bowling are sick entertainment ;-p I recommend you vlogs Jamesyboy Experiment - Travel Channel. They should receive Polish passports now. hahahaha
Great tips! Thank you!
Yeah, we know Adam & Corinne - they're great!
Hey Travel Beans! We miss you. Come back here in the Philippines!
Next year... :)
try ZAPIEKANKA XXL SIZE next time in Poland e.g. in Międzyzdroje
in poland we love our cheese, dough, sour cream, and meat
Gosh I wish I had a proper gear for filming (Go Pro or something like this) and first off - a talent to do the travel vidoes! :D I'm going to South America this Monday! Me and my friend are planning to see Peru (where we land), Bolivia and Chile (and maybe a short jump to Argentina) and we'll be there for over 1 month. Well, at least I'll take as much pictures as I can with my heavy canon :D
Greetings from Warsaw! :)
Potato Pancakes - placki ziemniaczane, with meat souce are simply to prepare at home ;)
You can eat potato pancakes as a vegetarian with sugar and sour cream or with only sour cream no meat.
You should come inside this church on this big square it is so beautiful and famous
Come to aussie sydney youll love it.
It's easy to be vegetarian/vegan in Poland because of Catholicism - yeah. Due to religious rule Poles avoid meat (except fish) on Fridays - so there is always plenty of vegetarian and vegan options around (and for all week cuz restaurants don't want to make a special menu for one day of the week).
Placki ziemniaczane po węgiersku ❤️
Did you visit Kraków Castle named Wawel?
you should come to Lublin. It is much cheaper :)
best place to eat with cheaper prices is a milk bar called bar mleczny
totally agree, the way too much for pinball museum if you want to go and just see how things are neverthelles as you said, fair price if you want spend some good hours playing the machine
thank you for the good words, give you a sub
Have you been in Lodz?
Jeszcze dużo nie jadłeś kolego:]
Potato Pancakes with Goulash - Placek po Węgiersku - osobiscie polecam
po węgiersku :D
@@nikka00 pomyłka z mojej strony, dzięki za wyprostowanie :)
Travel "mould vine" Beans :D
Interesting. I've just quit my job teaching in england to travel South East Asia for a year. How do you guys make money? Do you have any sites you can recommend to teach online? cheers
Yes, we use Cambly as it is the most flexible site. We teach a few days a week and are easily able to travel. Feel free to send us any questions on Insta/FB and we can answer in more detail
nikt nie polecał placków bo kazdy jada je w domu raz w tygodniu :D
Pft, work less earn more...earn more cool life experiences!! Must be a bit of a shock too getting back to European prices vs Malaysian, etc. prices. Do you guys have some locations planned out for the next bit? Curious minds are wondering lol Take care you two.
Not yet.. we are thinking perhaps Egypt, Turkey or Morocco early next year but nothing has been decided or booked yet. Hopefully by the end of the year we will have a better idea! :)
Polacy lajkujcie w końcu promują POLSKĘ
I loved krakow go to oscwiecim that will. Scare you 40k from krakow
Emma, why so pretty! Hehehe
What's the name of pub at 3:59?
Krakow is quite vegan-friendly. Warsaw on the other hand apparently is the 7th most vegan-friendly city of 2018.
Once again,youtwo have managed to sell the city you are in,also Alex I am seriously jelous of the meal you just had, much love and happiness. ❤❤❤
Thanks Fred!
Why would you return to Europe just in time for winter? Miss the cold that much?
Christmas and family. Haven't missed the cold weather but we have missed the fresh air. So much humidity in SE Asia :)
😀😃😄
Goodness, Alex. When did you join the Norwegian navy?! 😉
Alex, why so handsome! Hehehe
Better than the tandoori chicken in Georgetown???? 😅
Yes! I hate to say it as that food is still mindblowingly good. Luckily there is enough meals in the day for both :)
@@TravelBeans When you back in UK in London there is polish restaurants everywhere with Pancake with gulash its called Placek po Wegiersku or Placek po Cygansku .. best polish restaurant in London i can recommend "Mikrus" in streatham .. all best there is loads of nice food in our menu .. :)
Dobre bo POLSKIE
it shouldn't be a regular vodka, it MUST be a bison vodka (żubrówka) !
No Wawel Castle on your list? :(
Wow you are so lucky to have all that money to be able to travel like that???
earn less, live more!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🤔🤔+eat good
8:19 i agree, price to high for normal people, maybe some real fans would pay so much for ticket
Piernicki are good in small doses
Dumplings are Asian, we have pierogi. We have no doughnuts only pączki ; )
Bo nasze pierogi pochodzą z Chin. Z Chin wywodzi się pomysł na pierogi, ravoili , warienki , pieremieni czy inne wariacje na temat nadziewania czymś "pastry"
@@yakeosicki8965 Dokładnie! Naleśniki, makarony, pierogi, pizze - wszystko ściągnięte z Chin.
@@Renata53502 Trudno, by było inaczej, skoro oni już mieli wysoko rozwiniętą kulturę, gdy na tych terenach nasi przodkowie nawalali się po głowach maczugami...
@@PiotrPilinko Nasza kuchnia też jest dobra. Nasze zupy np: żurek, chwalili min hiszpanie, anglicy nawet filipińczycy. Ogórkową: sycylijka powiedziała, że jest fantasztika, anglik - superb. Kapuśniak nawet kobieta z Ruandy i Anglik. Nasz bigos i placki ziemniaczane są bardzo lubiane. Nasze kiełbasy chwalą Niemcy. Nasze wypieki wszyscy! Żurek i bigos to coś czego nie znajdziesz nigdzie indziej. Zupę grzybową świąteczną uwielbiał mój kolega z Indii.
Nie sądzę żeby we wszystkim byli tak rozwinięci, np mordowanie noworodków płci żeńskiej. Teraz mają niedobór kobiet i je kradną innym mężom.
@@Renata53502 Byli, w sumie obecnie też są - ich przemysł, to potęga. Mają sporo dobrego żarcia, jeszcze więcej niesmacznego. Ostatnio też przestali abortować dziewczynki, jak się okazało że wokoło same samce (polityka jednego dziecka uległa złagodzeniu)...
Osobiście też uwielbiam kuchnię polską (ale nie schabowego vel "sznycla" z kapuchą, a sporo innych dań).
potato pancake.... just a grated potato, onion, some flour, salt and black pepper..... after twenty years in britain i'm welling up.... thank f..ck for saveloy.... a sausage wrapped in a red polythene
Just a question, do you both have a college degree to be online teachers?? Just wondering...
Hey, we both do have degrees. I am not sure if they are necessary though
@@TravelBeans Thank you for responding very much enjoying your travel vlogs!!!
Eh and i still prefer Bigos and Pierogi
They act so ignorant ( as teachers) and at times disrespectful.
In Some parts of Africa people are starving and eating mud pies yes mud that is their food source - nothing else.
a pancake in the Hungarian style is so common meal nobody is really thinking of showing it off strangers. It is as commoc as schabowy. It is nothing special. It is basic eating habit. The amoutn of side salad was off thou
