The Alef restaurant have shifted from their traditional Kazimierz base, opening instead on the ground floor of their second venture on Agnieszki  – not necessarily a bad thing considering the knackered look the old venue was starting to assume. This one is less claustrophobic, the greenish dining room decorated with the requisite gramophones and heirlooms, as well as the usual klezmer band stalking between tables. The food is standard, nothing better than anything else you’d find in Kraków.  [...]

You’ll hear mixed reports emanating from Ariel, and while our turkey steak was little better than disappointing we’ve met more than a number of people extolling the virtues of Ariel’s varied Jewish cuisine. The setting is typical of the district, with antiques and heirlooms alluding to the Kazimierz of yesteryear, and a set of rooms decorated in a charmingly cluttered style. The live music is a popular draw, though you may appreciate it less when you learn you are being charged to listen to it.    [...]

Big portions, good food and low prices make Noah's Ark an ideal spot for group gatherings. Many mains are served family-style, and the drinks list runs from Israeli wine to kosher beer and vodka. Local klezmer bands entertain diners every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at 20:30, though a compu [...]

From the outside this venue is disguised to look like a row of early century trade shops and is decorated with awnings relating to the area's Jewish heritage. Things are no less colourful on the inside with mannequins, sewing machines and carpenters' work surfaces adorning the interiors. A great attempt at capturing the Kazimierz spirit, and a must visit for those tracing the district's past.   [...]

One of the surprisingly few places to offer kosher food in Krakow, though if you want to order anything other than breakfast (07:00 – 10:00) diners are required to phone in advance, select the meal of their choice and then pay with either credit card or Euro. [...]

Klezmer Hois
Late 19th century décor and a jumble of rugs and paintings; the interior of Klezmer Hois follows the Kazimierz code for interior design but it's the strong menu that keeps the staff busy and the restaurant packed. We recommend the chicken in honey and ginger. Each night stirring music recitals [...]
