    Café Alef

    A number of restaurants in and around ul Szeroka offer Jewish-inspired dishes such as czulent (bean casserole with beef and vegetables), knyshe (aka knish, a dumpling with the filling of potato, ground meat, sauerkraut, onions or buckwheat groats) and stuffed gooseneck. Café Alef also features live klezmer music nightly at about 20:00.

    Dawno Temu Na Kazimierzu

    As you approach this restaurant from ul Miodowa, you'll see signs from yesteryear: Chajim Kohan's General Store, Szymon Kac Tailor, Nowak Grocery. The shop windows still display the goods from times gone by. Inside, the quaint restaurant serves decent Polish-Jewish food, though you're really coming for the historic atmosphere.

    Klezmer-Hois

    More than any other restaurant, Klezmer-Hois evokes pre-war Kazimierz, with its tables covered in lace, and artwork inspired by the shtetl (Jewish town). Warm up with a bowl of delicious soup invented by Yankiel the Innkeeper of Berdytchov. In the evenings, folks gather for concerts of traditional Jewish music (8pm).

    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.
