Decorated like a mountain tavern, Chata is a fun experience with cheap and tasty local cooking. Perfect for a cold, winter night.
Chata
Chata’s rough-hewn wooden interior – the owners call it their ‘hut’ – with chunky furniture and sheepskin throws on the backs of the chairs, is cosy and more akin to a meal in the mountains than central Kraków. The plates are small but cheap, and inviting enough to try a selection of local specialities, including Hunter’s Stew with buckwheat and sauerkraut. The service can get overwhelmed but recommended all the same.

Chata address: Krowoderska 21, 31-141 Kraków, Poland
Piasek District: Just to the west of Kraków’s Old Town, residential Piasek makes a nice retreat from the main tourist areas. The area includes the main branch of the National Museum, with a permanent collection of 20th-century Polish art, and a huge expanse of urban parkland. Krupnicza has a great range of restaurants and bakeries and the upper end of Karmelicka is good for shopping. You’ll also find Forum Designu, a retro space full of the best contemporary Polish designers, and there are plenty of cosy places to stay, such as the Nobilton and Amber Boutique.
