A
With Fire & Sword
Named after the historical novel by Henry Sienkiewicz, this dark, atmospheric restaurant re-creates the Poland of yesteryear. The wood interior is made even more rustic with animal pelts and a roaring fire. The menu features well-researched old-time recipes, such as the succulent roasted pig that comes stuffed with fruit.

Karczma Zbójecka
An attractive basement eatery, this place offers regional dishes and meats grilled on a huge wood-burning rotisserie. There’s always a buzzy atmosphere and decent local folk music on some evenings.

Magia
Magia Like its menu, Magia’s atmosphere is eclectic; there are numerous vibes to choose from throughout the warren of dining rooms and its large outdoor courtyard, with each area decorated with a touch of magic. The chef uses only fresh ingredients to create dishes ranging from tiger shrimps and snails to deer and duck, with every sort of pizza, pasta and pancake between. Prices are spread through the spectrum of budgets, so you can venture through multiple courses or eat lightly just to rent yourself a piece of the atmosphere.

Zielona Tawerna
An old rustic house converted into a stylish restaurant with mismatched antique furniture, art on the walls, rugs on the floors and candles on the tables. There are many dining rooms to choose from throughout the creaking building and smooth tunes add a country-chic vibe to the ‘Green Tavern’. Meals, from the meaty mains to the vegetable platter, are lovingly prepared. Ingeniously, half-sized dishes can be ordered at 70% of the full price. Desserts and drinks are creative too – hot beer anyone?

Złoty Osioł
Złoty Osioł offers traditional ambience and extraordinarily good-value traditional meals. There are delicious fish dishes, slightly bizarre drink selections (like hot dry wine with jelly), and daily meal sets for the indecisive. The restaurant is set in a candlelit cellar with an annexed cosy green courtyard. Folk music concerts are occasionally held here.

U Babci Maliny
U Babci Maliny ul Sławkowska (012 422 7601; ul Sławkowska 17) ‘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.

Miód Malina
Country cooking at its best. Warmed by the terracotta walls and the massive stone hearth, the charmingly named 'Honey Raspberry' is a delightful place to order roasted veal with chanterelles, spareribs with plum sauce or a pierogi (dumpling) sampler plate. Rave reviews all around.

Pod Aniołami
This is the quintessential Krakovian restaurant, its main dining room occupying a Gothic cellar from the 13th century. Heavy wood furniture, stone walls and fraying tapestries evoke the Middle Ages, as do the grilled meats cooked over a beech-wood fire.

Restauracja Kwadrans
In a solid wooden building with a high-ceilinged terrace, Kwadrans demonstrates a love of clocks and heavy food. There are slim pickings for vegetarians but those more inclined towards venison will be pleased. There are some hearty breakfasts on offer.

Pierożki U Vincenta
There are only four tables in this place, but there are about 40 kinds of dumplings on the menu; sweet and savoury, classic and creative. Maybe you thought you were tired of pierogi, but Vincent will convince you to eat one more plate!

Cafe Ważka
A handful of tables are carefully arranged around a leafy oak tree in the blooming garden of the Mehoffer house. (In case of rain, you can sit inside the cosy cafe.) Service is leisurely, so sit back and enjoy the delightful setting.

Karczma Młyn
The best place for lunch or dinner offers wholesome Polish fare surrounded by the lush green you’d expect of a national park. The terrace is idyllically situated for a postcard-perfect view of the Chapel on the Water.

Chimera Restaurant
Not to be confused with the salad bar of the same name, this is a Kraków classic. The vaulted cellar is the perfect setting to sample the speciality roasted lamb, goose or game meats.

Pod Wietrzną Górą
Pod Wietrzną can be expensive; meal price is calculated by weight and the slices of meat are generous. Otherwise, the meals are pleasant, as is the popular beer garden.
