Insider food tips

If you want a truly local vibe with your international meal, skip the spots by the main square. For example, Kazimierz has recently become a little hub for global flavors, and you’ll find everything from Vietnamese to Italian tucked between historic streets.

When it’s cold, a bowl of pho at a Vietnamese place near Plac Nowy hits differently. Also, if you’re around Grzegórzki, check out some Indian cafés where they use carefully imported spices but cater to Krakow’s love of hearty meals. Small joints like these often don’t shout about themselves online, so ask a local or wander around lunch hours to find the best ones.
