Restaurants cuisine du monde Poland

A true return to the past for this restaurant with its well thought-out decoration. It's like being invited by a distant family. Wall frames, vintage wallpaper and dark rooms but open to the outside, so enjoying natural light in summer. The menu is composed of tasty dishes but the quantity leaves a little to be desired. The homemade lemonade is of excellent quality and the wine list is interesting. We will come here especially to enjoy a beer accompanied by Jewish-inspired tapas. A real beautiful address, warm and frequented by local youth.

Located on the Place du Grand Marché, this restaurant's first attraction is its modern, well-kept setting, its spacious rooms and warm gray tones enhanced by rich fabrics. But it's the cuisine that really counts here. Delicate, sophisticated, gastronomic. You'll fall in love with its seasonal dishes, made with farm-to-table fresh produce from sustainable agriculture (a rare gesture in Poland, and one to be applauded). Although this establishment has won over the local critics, it has yet to win the Michelin international accolade, so make the most of it.

Balaton has the distinction of being one of the oldest restaurants in the city. This venerable restaurant has been in existence since 1969 on the Royal Way, which is quite an exceptional achievement in Krakow. The secret of this longevity is not difficult to understand, just sit down in the restaurant and taste the incredible Hungarian cuisine served there. Enjoy trying the Hungarian version of the Slavic dishes you surely know by now, but don't miss the goulash and the excellent Hungarian wine.

Lake Morskie is one of the natural wonders of the nearby Tatra mountain range. One is a little less surprised then to discover the grandiose setting of a mountain chalet in the large basement, consisting of a dozen vaulted cellars that make up this restaurant. The atmosphere and flavors of the Tatra mountains are very much present here. Rustic furniture, waitresses in traditional costumes, live traditional music and delicious grilled game, nothing is missing but the pure air of the altitude.

A small quite charming café with a décor of antique furniture and small curiosities, with a very "Kazimierz" and the varied menu: in addition to the main Polish specialties, you will also find some dishes of italian cuisine. Delicious, cheap and very pleasant.

Mostly Polish cuisine rather refined in this restaurant which since the 1870 s is a real institution in the city. The décor can remind you of a glorious era of communism, large draperies, impressive paintings, vast room where tables are separated by rents for more privacy. Service sometimes a little long.

This large, rustic-style bistro on Szewska Street has several large wood and stone rooms, allowing for different atmospheres. The cuisine is Italian, and the pizzas are a hit! Boscaiola is the little sister of Trattoria Mamma Mia... a must in town for its wood-fired pizzas, prepared 100% with authentic Italian products. So the quality is the same, in a slightly livelier, trendier space. It's up to you to choose the setting that suits you best.

A very pleasant frame, in basement, in vaulted cellars, where blend wood, stones and paintings from Tuscany to the wall. Excellent Italian cuisine, prepared with care and many herbs by Chef Carlo Innoceti. Soups, antipasti, delicious home-made fresh pasta, risottos, main dishes such as marsala chicken or spinach sole, gorgonzola sauce. Fine wine list.

Lace tablecloths, old paintings and objects inspired by shtetl life in a room reminiscent of the dining room of a Jewish home. In the beautiful architecture of a former mikveh (Jewish ritual bath), this restaurant faithfully reproduces the atmosphere of Kazimierz just before the war. Good Jewish food and, on some nights - not every night as advertised - live klezmer music. In recent years, the restaurant has suffered from its success and one has the impression that one is paying more for the setting than for an original meal.

Kogel Mogel is the Polish version of eggnog, the winter drink that was particularly common in the country during the Soviet era. This restaurant therefore adopts a retro vintage style, reminiscent of the high-end restaurants of the 1970s nomenklatura. In contrast, the menu, full of references to the communist era, presents the dishes of the Polish proletariat and, in fact, the food is truly delicious. The meals, as at home, are preceded by their basket of pickles, bread and lard.

This karczma defies all competition and sets the expectations of the Polish people. Everything here is close to perfection. Folk art, colorful carpets, beautiful wooden peasant furniture and some of the most beautiful glass paintings you can find in Zakopane. The regional cuisine served here is exquisite and very original, all enjoyed to the accompaniment of live music played by folk bands. The terrace in summer is green and opens up to the beauty of the mountains. In these cases, it is absolutely necessary to go there.

Semi-gastronomic restaurant that never gets full and that you should call well in advance (when it takes reservations). The chef, Tomek Gut, relies on carefully selected products from local suppliers, and a unique selection of organic and biodynamic wines (the current rage) for his cuisine that mixes traditional recipes with gastronomy. The result is stunning and if you can (and want to) pay the price, it is a recommended stop on this journey. Take advantage of it, the notoriety of this restaurant is only increasing.

If you don't like Polish food, if you've had your fill of traditional dishes or mountain specialties, if it's the fifth time in a week that you don't know what to eat, or if you simply want to eat Italian, this is the place for you. The restaurant is always busy, simply because everyone loves a good fresh pasta dish and the locals love a little variety. A treat in a modern and pleasant setting.

This friendly family restaurant is not to be missed under any circumstances! Located in the heart of the historical center, it is known as the white wolf, in town and elsewhere: it is agreed that you will taste some of the best pierogi in Poland (and, in our humble opinion, it is true). In fact, the cuisine is not limited to simple Polish ravioli, here everything is very good, prepared from fresh and selected local ingredients. Moreover, the service is fast and friendly. A very very good address.

Mandragora is one of the city's institutions. Housed in a historic building overlooking the Rynek, this restaurant has three small rooms that are very much invested with the memory and nostalgia of the Polish Jewish community that once lived on the adjacent block. The theme of Jewish culture is reflected in the high quality kosher cuisine and the live Jewish music events. CDs of traditional Jewish music are available for purchase. An excellent address.

Set in a forest not far from the city center, this restaurant overlooking Zakopane is a place with a beautiful atmosphere not to be missed. First and foremost, its small room with a wooden staircase leading to a mezzanine conveys a rustic, charming and convivial atmosphere, while its delicious regional cuisine comforts the body and heart after a long walk, and all this for a small price.

You'll find warm, friendly service (in English). The restaurant also has a children's area on the mezzanine floor, ideal for families.

This small café, whose name is translated in a very original way as "little café", is a nice and discreet surprise that it would be a shame to miss. Its colorful and welcoming interior creates a lively atmosphere that is well served by the very warm presence of its staff and regulars who are often found on site. The reason for their presence? Apart from the setting and this little oasis of happiness, they eat some of the best naleszniki in town! A smart plan for a sweet break after a visit to Sandomierz.
