Tiny spot where you find possibly the best "pierogi" in the city and just around the corner from the flat. Although they don't have much space for their guests, it's completly obligatory to step in and have a taste! :-)

This is a real old-school place. If you want to time travel way back to the time of PRL (communist period) it's the place for you. An old food truck "Niebieska Nyska" stops here every night and gets to work with grilling the perfect home made sausage. Don't be surprised if the queue is long, its pretty famous amongst the locals. Opening hours 20:00 - 3:00am

I cannot stress this point more: these are without a doubt the best "zapiekanki" (kind of polish bruscetta) in the city. Located in the centre of a quirky square in the jewish quarter, surrounded by several extraordinary pubs and restaurants. Even if the queue is half a mile long, it's well worth the wait (remember its busy for a reason ;-) )

I couldn't omit Koko. It is more of an eatery than restaurant. However if you're seeking an unusual place with good, cheap food - go there. They have seating areas on the ground floor as well as in the basement - I personally prefer the basement. For just 14zł you can eat a two coruse meal and try a bit of traditional polish cuisine (keep in mind you have to order at the bar, food will be delivered to your table).

Cafe/canteen placed on the top floor in Cracowian Music Academy. To find the place you have to enter the Academy, use the lift and choose the top floor. (not many people know about, if you can't find the place - ask the doorman. Don't be discouraged - the view is one of the best in Cracow :-)
The food is ok, (keep in mind it is aimed at students) I would recommend your order a coffee and perhaps a cake, and sit on the balcony and to enjoy rooftop views of old town!

A restaurant in the centre of the Main Square where the prices are low and the portions near impossible to finish in one sitting :-) Beers served in one litre glasses, great food, live music in the evenings, the best choice for people who need to fill their stomach to the brim! (Tip - the indoor menu differes from the outdoor menu, so check both before you decide where to sit. Indoors is generally cheaper)
The same restaurant is also located next to the Wawel Castle "św. Gertrudy 26-29 street", on the edge of Planty.

Charlotte is a french bakery/cafe. Fresh breads and pastries are baked daily, ready for their well-known breakfast sets. Go hungry and order one of their breakfast baskets with home-made jams and coffee, you won't regret it! However, it is a very popular place, so it is possible you will have to wait to be seated.

Very good polish restaurant. As the name indicates with "kaczka", the restaurant specialises in duck dishes. Perhaps a bit pricier than other options in the centre, however the quality of the dishes is amongst the best in Krakow.

Drinks & Nightlife
Bar, club, cafe and Cracovian legend. Some even argue it is one of the best Bar in all of Europe. Once a hotel which was shut down after one of the worst floods Cracow has ever seen, it has been fairly recently revived into this contemporary/hipster venue boasting several functions. A nice place to order good cocktail at the bar and enjoy it sitting on a deckchair with Vistula river and Wawel Castle in the background. At night it becomes club with a great atmosphere.

Shopping
Perfect place for food shopping. Here you can find many fresh products including hams, cheeses directly from local farmers, as well as several bakeries. My favourite place for hams here is "Wędliny z Tuchowa", located in one of the alleyways at the back. In one of the side alleyways there is usually an old lady selling mountain cheese, home made butter, cream and other products :). To the left from the marketplace you may also find a supermarket to buy everything else.
Opening hours : Mon-Sat till 4pm
Sunday - flea market
