Krakow is full of restaurants representing nearly all of the world’s cuisines, with more ethnic restaurants every year, and the biggest concentration of good places to eat is found in the old town centre. There is a nice range of styles of restaurants, from casual eateries and take-out restaurants, to cozy, elegant and more formal establishments. There is something for everyone in the Krakow dining scene, and whether you’re in the mood for a bistro, a pizzeria, a fancy French restaurant, or traditional Polish cuisine, you can choose from hundreds of restaurants within easy walking distance. Places to eat are situated in every available space, many in old palatial residences or other buildings full of character, or in cellars, and often multiple restaurants are located above or below each other in the same building.

| The Polish Cuisine
|
|
|
Polish cuisine is traditionally rich in starch, dairy and meat, and staples of the diet include potatoes, bread, noodles, red meat, cheese, and eggs. Dumplings are a classic Polish dish, and the country is also known for pies which come in many varieties. The Polish cuisine has been influenced by many other countries and regions over the years, and elements of Italian, German, and French cooking have worked their way in, as well as heavy Austrian influence, as the country was ruled by the Austrian Empire in the 19th century. In the 20th century, Polish folk dishes also became popularized and incorporated into mainstream cuisine, as great numbers of people moved from the countryside to the cities.
The Polish eat at least three meals a day, and small “second breakfasts” and meals at teatime are also not uncommon. Breakfast is a hearty meal, usually including bread with cheese, sausage, ham or jam, eggs, and oatmeal or other cereals. Lunch is the main meal of the day in Poland, and is generally eaten around 4 pm, when people get home from work. Soups are a staple dish at lunchtime, usually followed by a meat and potato dish with vegetables. Poland is known for its good soups, and even the simplest varieties, such as tomato or chicken, are deliciously tasty. The Polish also love dessert, which often takes the form of puddings, cakes, ice cream, or pie.
