Krakow, Poland’s Mecca of gourmets, can boast many excellent restaurants.

Good restaurants and various other eateries that offer quality food are found throughout the city. Yet Krakow’s historical Old Town central district seems virtually stuffed with establishments catering to all kinds of diners. Here, within easy walking distance, one discovers hundreds of restaurants, cafes, bistros, grills, pizzerias, salad bars, etc. They are lodged in every available space of the area’s old palatial residences and stately burgher houses; upstairs, downstairs, and – probably most willingly – in those vast ancient cellars. No doubt, the exquisite and picturesque period interiors are a premium. And from springtime through autumn restaurant tables take up the streets and squares of the mostly pedestrian precinct as well as backyards turned gardens.

A couple of blocks south another scenic downtown district, Kazimierz famed for its past Jewish quarter, also can boasts numerous eateries. And still further to the south is the city's newly established gastronomic frontier in historic Podgorze town across Wisla river.

Krakow restaurant traditions. 

Krakow gastronomy has a long and glorious tradition that dates back to the famously lavish medieval and Renaissance feasts and the Baroque extravaganzas of Polish gentry gourmets. And the city’s legendary restaurants of the past two centuries are fondly remembered. Yet recent decades have brought about a genuine restaurant explosion owing to the hectic efforts of aspiring restaurateurs, native as well as immigrants. And some Krakow chefs have achieved celebrity of sorts.

Trends in the restaurants of Krakow. 

Currently fusion cooking seems to be all the rage among the city's trendy chefs. Yet a creative adaptation of the old Polish cuisine is still in vogue. Also a revival of the local folk cookery goes on. On the other hand Far East foods, once exotic, appear to have become almost staples nowadays. At the same time Krakow restaurant patrons occur enamored of fine French and Italian cuisine more than ever before.
