Krakow Restaurants and Dining: Where to Eat - Krakow, Poland, PL
Plenty of budget restaurants are spread around Krakow. Known in Poland as 'jadlodajnias', these charming eateries usually serve home-cooked Polish fare at extremely low prices. However, if fast-food restaurants are more your thing, then head to the Ul Grodzka, where many milk bars (Bar Mleczny) are also present.

Rather more upscale dining venues are line the many streets emanating outwards from the main town square and throughout the Stare Miasto district, although you will need to look out for tourist traps, serving overpriced food. Reliable restaurants can be found along the Ulica Bracka, Ulica Florianska, Ulica Poselska, Ulica Slawkowska and Ulica Szpitalna, close to the Barbakan. Further away from central Krakow, a trip to Kazimierz is well worth the walk and many small restaurants and similar eateries are based here, serving up tasty Jewish cuisine and simple dishes.
