Polish Restaurants In Kraków

  • Pod Wawelem Restauracja
    As much an event as a restaurant, Pod Wawelem has eye-popping portions of meat, to be washed down with litres of beer, and should be experienced at least once.
  • Restauracja Miod Malina
    With standards far higher than the mid-priced menu would suggest, Miod Malina is a highly recommended Polish restaurant with excellent customer service.
  • Klimaty Poludnia
    Highly recommended as one of the best mid-priced Polish restaurants in the area, Klimaty Poludnia specialises in tasty gnocchi.
  • Restauracja Biala Roza
    Biala Roza is an excellent example of fine dining at a comparatively reasonable cost. The food is an imaginative update of traditional Polish cooking with a wine list to match.
  • Ratuszowa Krzysztof Janarek
    Don’t expect too much from the food, which is aimed at tourists. The real reason to visit Ratuszowa Krzysztof Janarek is to spend time with one of the best views in the city.

  • Cechowa
    Cechowa is a ridiculously reasonable introduction to Polish cuisine. Well-located and favoured by locals, this is highly recommended for budget travellers.
  • Wierzynek
    Dating back to the 14th century, Wierzynek is one of Poland’s oldest restaurants and eating here is a real event. The food is imaginative and the venue itself is stunning. Expensive but worth the outlay.
  • Golonkarnia Bar and Restauracja
    Golonkarnia is an excellent local restaurant specialising, as the name suggests, in crispy golonka, as well as an excellent selection of beers. Very good.
  • Restauracja Starka
    A dependable, characterful, and reasonably-priced Polish restaurant in Kazimierz, Restauracja Starka is famous for its walnut cake.
  • Restauracja Galicyjska
    With a very reasonable tasting menu of Polish flavours, Galicyjska is very romantic and scores pretty well on most aspects.
  • Morskie Oko
    A delightful traditional Polish restaurant that’s a cut above most of the competition. Everything looks great and tastes just as good.
  • Amarylis Restaurant
    With an excellent tasting menu but no vegetarian option, Amarylis gives the finer end of Polish cuisine a fully contemporary twist.
  • Czarna Kaczka The Black Duck
    Hearty regional fare for a reasonable price. Czarna Kaczka means black duck and that’s exactly the kind of traditional dish they specialise in.
  • Jadlodajnia Wczoraj i Dzis
    Incredibly cheap and homely, Jadlodajnia Wczoraj i Dzis is a simple introduction to Kraków as the locals like to eat.
  • C.K. Browar, Restauracja
    With huge platters of meat, the real star of C.K. Browar is a tasting menu of home-brewed beers, which will help you sober up for more drinking.
  • Chata
    Decorated like a mountain tavern, Chata is a fun experience with cheap and tasty local cooking. Perfect for a cold, winter night.
  • Smakolyki
    Away from the tourists and a favourite with local students, Smakolyki gets high scores all round and is recommended for a good, simple meal rather than a classy night out.
  • Pod Aniołami 
    Good food and a dramatic interior make Pod Aniołami worth consideration, although it is perhaps a little overpriced.
  • W Starej Kuchni
    Laid back service and a homely feel, added to the big portion of Polish favourites, make W Starej Kuchni a highly recommended mid-priced option in any category.
  • Wesele
    One of the better mid-priced restaurants on the Main Square, Wesele remains a little touristy. Everything looks nice, from the view to the presentation of the food.
  • Polskie Smaki
    A simple but steadfast traditional budget restaurant, Polskie Smaki has a canteen feel but is a great way to get to know local cooking.
  • FAB Fusion
    Priced a little above the competition, FAB Fusion is a strong boutique-style restaurant with modern updates on Polish classics. Also good for a drink.
  • Kawiarnia – Jama Michalika
    Jama Michalika is hard to beat for history and atmosphere, although the dining experience can leave a lot to be desired. Drop in for a drink and a peak instead.
  • Stara Zajezdnia
    Stara Zajezdnia is a huge, busy beer hall on the edge of Kazimierz. The food is designed to accompany the drinks and is of the burger and steak variety. Great beer, though.
  • Europejska
    A stunning location on the Main Square and fine Art Nouveau interior gives Europejska one of the best views in town. A solid choice for a Polish breakfast.
  • No 7 Restaurant
    An attractive looking restaurant in a fantastic location, the food at No 7 is fine but the experience is more about the view than anything.
  • Restauracja Stodola 47
    A good value, mid-priced Polish restaurant, Stodola 47 offers big portions, which should raise a smile and fill a hearty appetite.
  • Ogniem i Mieczem
    Ogniem i Mieczem is both hospitable and theatrical. Expect big platters of traditional Polish flavours, matched by delicious honey vodka.
  • Old Town Restaurant Wine and Bar
    Old Town Restaurant is a fantastic exponent of Polish cuisine and hospitality and one of the most enjoyable mid-priced places in the city.
  • Pierozki U Vincenta
    Delicious Polish dumplings and cheap beer in Kazimierz. This is a no-nonsense establishment offered at a budget price.
  • Piwnica pod Kominkiem
    Piwnica pod Kominkiem is a romantic, medieval restaurant with a nice traditional Polish menu and good cocktails. Good value for money.
  • Wiśniowy Sad
    At first glance, Wiśniowy Sad is a little shabby. The menu, however, has a few surprises and scores highly for value, taste, and atmosphere. Worth a second look.
  • Pod Baranem Restauracja
    Close to the Castle and Cathedral, Pod Baranem is appealing and homely, and its mid-priced Polish menu is highly recommended.
  • C.C.Stefan Batory
    The C.C.Stefan Batory is a floating restaurant with one of the better views on a summer night. Probably a better venue for a drink, the menu will serve at a push.
  • Restauracja Pod Kopcem
    Inconveniently located, Pod Kopcem is probably best suited for private events such as weddings, but may be worth investigating if you’re in the area.

Balaton restaurant
Balaton restaurant

Eastern European Restaurants In Kraków

  • Kogel Mogel Restauracja
    Although a little pricey, Kogel Mogel is a highly attractive Eastern European restaurant with some rare vegan options.
  • Balaton
    With probably the heartiest portions in town, Balaton’s Eastern European fare puts the hungry in Hungary.
  • Gruzinskie Chaczapuri
    For something a bit different, Gruzinskie Chaczapuri has a strong Georgian influence, with a drinks list to match. Hearty food is matched by the service.
  • Restauracja Stylowa
    Restauracja Stylowa is an unusual Soviet-themed experience, obviously focused on tourists visiting the Nowa Huta district. Cheap, though, and good fun.
  • Smak Ukrainski
    Specialising in Ukrainian food and drink, Smak Ukrainski is rudimentary but authentic, and overall a recommended experience for value and service.

Bianca restaurant
Bianca restaurant

Italian Restaurants In Kraków

  • Bianca
    Bianca is a great all-round Italian restaurant with excellent desserts and a decent choice for vegetarians. The menu is a little different from usual as it doesn’t feature pizza.
  • La Campana
    At its best in the summer months, La Campana is a good Italian restaurant with good desserts. The leafy outdoors area is the real star.
  • Al Vecchio Forno (formerly Restauracja Stary Piec)
    Located well outside the centre of town, Al Vecchio Forno is an authentic Italian restaurant frequented mainly by local residents.
  • Pizzeria Trzy Papryczki 
    A reasonable mid-range trattoria in the Old Town, Trzy Papryczki would make a good back up if some of the better competition is full.
  • Boscaiola
    Boscaiola is a romantic choice, that’s also good for parties. The pizza and pasta menu is quite tourist focused, but does well if you’re looking to refuel.
  • Da Marco Pizza Pasta
    Cosy and quiet with a good range of well-cooked pizza, Da Marco is a fine choice in a city full of Italian restaurants.
  • Trattoria Pergamin
    A simple, unremarkable Italian restaurant in the Grzegórzki district of Kraków, but Pergamin is an okay choice for pizza if you have kids with you.
  • Trattoria Rialto
    Attached to a shopping centre to the south west, Rialto is an Italian restaurant offering good value pizzas, especially suited to larger parties.
  • Trattoria Soprano
    A diverse Italian menu in a charming, rustic environment, Trattoria Soprano is a strong contender in the mid-priced range when measured against the competition.
  • Restauracja Tradycyja
    Something of a tourist restaurant, Tradycyja takes full advantage of its Main Square location. The service and value are pretty good, however.
  • Movida Cocktail Bar
    The cocktails take precedent over Movida’s food and the place can get busy, but it can come in handy if you need a break from drinking.

Youmiko Sushi, Kraków
Youmiko Sushi

East Asian Restaurants In Kraków

  • Youmiko Sushi
    Imaginative Japanese cooking, fresh from the open kitchen, Youmiko Sushi is one of Kraków’s most exciting mid-priced restaurants.
  • Edo Fusion Restaurant
    With an extensive selection of well-prepared pan-Asian fusion dishes, Kazimierz-based Edo has something for everyone.

Hard Rock Cafe
Hard Rock Cafe

American Restaurants In Kraków

  • Jeff’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar
    Located in a shopping mall, you’ll only visit Jeff’s if you are hankering a big burger or deep-fried Tex-Mex.
  • Hard Rock Cafe Kraków
    Burgers and cocktails combined with rock and pop memorabilia on the walls, the Hard Rock brand should be familiar to everyone.
  • Grande Grill
    A mid-priced steakhouse in a great location, Grande Grill is not the most sophisticated restaurant in the city but has a lively atmosphere.
  • Someplace Else
    An American sports bar, more suited to watching the football with a couple of drinks than dining out. All the same, the menu is broad and will do at a pinch.

Albertina – Restaurant and Wine, Kraków
Albertina – Restaurant and Wine

Mediterranean Restaurants In Kraków

  • Albertina Restaurant and Wine
    The lobster takes top billing at Albertina, one of Kraków’s finest luxury restaurants, with first-rate Mediterranean food and atmosphere.
  • Restauracja Padre
    A little more expensive than average, but still one of Kraków’s top mid-priced places to eat, Restauracja Padre features fresh Mediterranean and Polish fish and meat dishes, as well as lovely desserts.
  • Farina
    At the upper end of the price spectrum, Farina is one of the finest seafood restaurants in the city, but still offering good value for money.
  • Hamsa Hummus and Happiness Israeli
    Middle Eastern food with a positive message and delightful mezzo-style plates, close to the Remuh Synagogue in Kazimierz. Really good.
  • Buszek nutka smaku
    Actually a North African shisha pub with a mixed menu of local favourites and Mediterranean dishes, Buszek is a very handy stop off for the train station.

Zazie Bistro, Kraków
Zazie Bistro

French Restaurants In Kraków

  • Cyrano de Bergerac
    Hidden away in an atmospheric brick vault, French restaurant Cyrano de Bergerac is highly recommended for romance.
  • Zakladka Food and Wine
    Snails and frog legs are part of Zakladka’s diverse French-influenced menu. The service is great and it’s a lovely place to eat. Recommended.
  • Zazie Bistro
    An excellent French bistro in Kazimierz, Zazie serves fresh and beautifully-presented Gallic standards in a relaxed atmosphere.

Indus Tandoor
Indus Tandoor

Indian Restaurants In Kraków

  • Indus Tandoor
    Well-priced with a lot of individual care from the kitchen, Indus is a good all-round Indian restaurant in a convenient location.
  • Hot Chili Indian Restaurant
    There is too much competition in the surrounding area to recommend Hot Chili Indian Restaurant, though it is fairly priced and caters to vegetarians.

Przystanek Pierogarnia
Przystanek Pierogarnia

Vegetarian and Vegan Options In Kraków

  • Vegab
    If you’re looking for a cheap bite on the go, Vegab’s vegan kebabs are utterly delicious, even for meat eaters.
  • Przystanek Pierogarnia
    A tiny corner shop away from Kraków’s Old Town, Przystanek Pierogarnia is a super-cheap introduction to the traditional Polish dumpling.
  • Zielone Tarasy
    A functional place, more suited to a lunch time catch up with friends than a special occasion, Zielone Tarasy has a great view of the city but is not so conveniently located.
