After walking along the rickety gangway and entering the barge, you can see some maritime elements: portholes, a fish aquarium and chairs with rope backs (alas, not very comfortable). The pleasant music playing in the background ranges from chillout to pop, but I think that shanties would be more suitable for the boat restaurant. Tables near the windows give a lovely view of the river and the Wawel Hill.
Inspired by the restaurant’s atmosphere, I ordered fish soup (PLN 18), which unfortunately turned out to be very salty. However, żurek (sour rye soup) served with a boiled egg (PLN 11), was very nutritious and tasty. Last year, I ordered here fried trout, which was really delicious, so it's a pity that it has disappeared from the menu. Especially that at the moment the restaurant offers very few fish dishes.
I feel that since last year the quality of food has lowered while the prices have risen. Fortunately, the fine view and pleasant atmosphere haven't changed. The restaurant is open all year and in the summer there are additional tables on the upper deck. The staff are very obliging. Aquarius is a good place for an unusual date or for a break during a stroll along the Vistula River. But it's too bad that the restaurant doesn't offer more fish dishes at reasonable prices so that you could feel the real taste of the sea adventure.
