Restaurants in Poland

A
Edo
Edo is a bold attempt at exoticism that seems to be paying off. Modern Japanese décor adds flavour to tempura, salads and sushi dishes, while Polish waiters in Japanese attire are a new take on the Far East.

Pancake Square

Ciasteczka Z Krakowa
Halfway between Kazimierz and the Old Town, this is a perfectly pleasant place to stop for a coffee or tea, but nobody leaves without sampling the goods from the cookie counter. C is for Ciasteczka.

Kawiarnia Pod Słodką Borówka
