We've mostly eaten and leisurely wandered our way through this vacation. In Krakow my favorite places to eat were Cafe Młynek, Glonojad, Momo, and Massolit. Massolit is bookstore with a small cafe menu that includes garlic bagels, quiche, and espresso. Perfect for breakfast. Momo offers delicious vegetarian food that tends towards Indian rather than Polish, but honestly, that can be a welcome change of pace. Cafe Młynek and Glonojad have thoughtfully diverse menus that include interesting vegetarian Polish dishes some of which you can see below.

Cranberry pierogi, you say! V. INTERESTING.
ReplyDeleteOne of my college friends (a 1st-gen immigrant) made sweet nalesniki for us once and they were perhaps the best thing ever. I can just imagine how much better the Polish food is in actual Poland.
The bigos at Cafe Mlynek is fabulous. It is always my meal of choice in this delightful place in the heart of Kazimieirz
