Kazimierz Restaurants

Restaurants in Kazimierz have evolved with the same rustic charm as the many bars and cafes of this enchanting corner of Krakow. Often housed in the sleepy, run-down tenement buildings characteristic of this area, Kazimierz restaurants offer variety, value for money and above all – atmosphere. In contrast to the worn facades and exposed brickwork on the outside, once you get inside a Kazimeirz restaurant, you’re often greeted by lavish, antique furnishings and a highly stylized design. In keeping with Krakow’s underground theme, many restaurants in Kazimierz lead down to a stone clad cellar, a refuge of cool in summer months and a cozy retreat through the winter. Many Kazimierz restaurants also have a courtyard or garden – ideal for eating alfresco on one of Krakow’s balmy summer evenings.

A number of restaurants in Kazimierz preserve the Jewish tradition of cookery that has been associated with this district for over half a millenium, and many stick to traditional Polish cuisine, with ‘Pierogi’ – a kind of Polish Raviolli – featuring across the board. But you’ll also find restaurants in Kazimierz that represent food from around the globe: from Italien and Chinese, to Sushi and Tapas and - perfect for a big night out – a good old fashioned curry house. And if meat isn’t your thing, one Kazimierz restaurant is Krakow’s founding vegetarian establishment.

Restaurants in Kazimierz aren’t hard to come by, but the most popular tend to be situated on one of the squares. The one on Szeroka street is perhaps the most picturesque: cobbled and strewn with trees, with the old Jewish synagogue at one end, this square is lined with bars, cafes and if you’re looking to dine in style, some of the more upmarket Kazimierz restaurants. Still, eating out in Kazimierz never strays far from the fairly reasonable.

Walk into a restaurant in Kazimierz and you might think you’ve stumbled upon a vestige of the past, and yet almost all of them, along with the bars, cafes and clubs in Kazimierz, have emerged in the past couple of decades. As the old Jewish quarter of Krakow, Kazimierz was left desolate after World War II. Life slowly returned and cheap lodgings made it a favourite among young artists, writers and dreamers, who soon tapped into the creative aura of this former centre of Jewish culture. In the mid-nineties, a couple of innovative landlords managed to capture the enigmatic energy of Kazimierz, establishing the first ‘cult bar’. Others soon followed, with a band of eager restauranteers not far behind, and Kazimierz quickly became the vibrant centre of food and drink that we know and love today.

Restaurants in Kazimierz are ideal for relaxing over a hearty meal and a bottle of fine wine. This is a district in which time has lost its sway, where you can come to escape the bustle of city life, the crowds of sightseers and the weight of history that hangs from the grand edifices of Krakow’s Old Town. Imagination is king of this realm: local poets here have the same celebrity status as the famous Polish actors and soap stars that frequent a number of Kazimierz restuarants. Come to Kazimierz to dream, to forget your worries and appreciate the simple things that life can offer. The laid back ambience of restaurants in Kazimierz lend themselves to this perfectly – all of which goes to make dining out in Kazimierz a thoroughly pleasant experience.
