This is a follow up to my earlier slice of Krakow's economy gastronomy. If you missed Part 1, here is the link and also check out my review of the moving Jewish Galicia Museum
As always, feel free to leave your tips below. Dobry apetyt!
Piekarnia- Awiteks
Tarta Owocowa at Piekarnia Awiteks
This is a local chain that sells an excellent selection of bakery + confectionary products.
I had no clue about this place and just ventured in seeing the crowd of locals jostling to get into their Kazimierz branch (Dotted around a town, check the sign in picture below)-always a good sign.
Piekarnia Awiteks
I tried here Kapusniak: a kind of rustic cabbage pastry that was delicious. Cost 1.50 zl
I followed this up with a tarta Owocowa : delicious fruit tart. Cost: 1.20 zl
The bread here as with good Polish bakeries was yum and I got a big loaf and often would chew on this if I got hungry during the day.
Great find!
Zapiekanka, on Plac Nowy
Zapiekanka: I'd eat this everyday of my life, damn tasty!
Zapiekanka : You can call it the Polish version of pizza.
It's a long sliced half of a baked baguette, mushrooms and cheese on top with a very liberal dose of tomato ketchup.
This is the traditional version but you can alternate the toppings with your own plus also add a sprinkling of fried onions or chives on top.
Delicious. Just 7zl. Bargain.
Plus Plac Nowy, the hub of all the action in Kazimierz on a summer evening is wow- surrounded by the happy buzz of locals and travelers alike, it’s a great setting for a delicious snack!
Restaurant Farina
Krakow is possibly one of the few very places where you can sample Michelin star dining at a fraction of what you would pay at home. Plus to find a seafood diner is rare in Krakow so this was another great find.
The staffs are very attentive and the 17th century wooden ceiling gives this place a special ambience.
I started off with a homemade bread served with a tasty tapenade.
Mains was a seafood pasta, pasta is homemade and great.
Dessert was white chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce- I’ll let the picture do the talking.
Bill: 69 zl with drinks , my most expensive meal but hey, Michelin Star dining at this price-wow.
This is a great treat and in a great location off the main square where there is a dearth of good quality diners. Highly recommend
Big thank you to easyJet Holiday for sponsoring this amazing trip, highly recommend for a short break to Krakow
