Kraków Restaurants

  1. Arka Noego

    Arka Noego (Noah's Ark) provides the typical Kazimierz eating experience, with lacy tablecloths, candles, a scattering of antiques and a vaguely Jewish-inspired menu. Dumplings, fish and turkey are offered, along with a big drinks list, including kosher vodka. There's live music most evenings for an extra charge.

  2. Balaton

    Balaton, with its shabby décor and uninspired wait staff, may not look inviting, but it's a very popular place for simple Hungarian food and seems to fill up quickly every night.

  5. Jama Michalika

    If these walls could talk… Established in 1895, this cavernous place was traditionally a hang-out for writers, painters, actors and other artistic types and the birthplace of the Młoda Polska movement. Today it's a grand, Art Nouveau restaurant with a very green interior and lots of theatrical etchings adorning the walls. The traditional Polish food is reasonable value but the compulsory coat-check and pay toilets are an annoying extra expense.

  8. Kuchnia i Wino

    The name - 'Cuisine and Wine' - may not suggest this bistro has a lot of imagination, but just try one of the delightfully inspired Mediterranean dishes on the short menu such as veal with basil. We love the sky-painted ceiling and the Tuscan tones.

  11. U Babci Maliny

    U Babci Maliny 'At Granny Raspberry's' is a godsend for travellers on a budget, with hearty Polish staples at giveaway prices served in an overwrought boudoir-like basement eatery. Love the boas and the chandelier. There's a second branch at ul Sławkowska 17.
