A hidden gem of Krakow restaurants (as it usually happens with these located outside the Old Town and Jewish district), "Ogniem i Mieczem" takes you back to 17th century. The ambience's one of a frontier inn - set in wood, with food served on rustic plates, mugs etc. The food is simple, but very tasty - be that trout, pork ribs or roasted pork leg.
As for the drinks - forget wine, try their beer (including the Cannonball's - beer with a floating shot of honey liquor) or their vodkas, especially the homemade honey one.
The place usually gets very crowded at dinner time - reservations are pretty much essential.
All in all, that's one of the best places serving Polish cuisine in Krakow - unlike the overvalued Wierzynek.
