We booked ahead as a party of six due to the reviews. We were seated at the back of the restaurant next to the kitchen, we fell like we were being hidden away! Walking through a lovely seated cellar setting through a door then passed the kitchen to our table. It took the staff a very long time to offer... More

This lunch was a good surprise, you have to choose up front the size of your plate (small, medium and large) - (price according to the plate size of course) and then you can choose from a great variety of dishes and vegetables, some of those are hot and some other ones are cold. The food tasted delicious, the service... More

Hotel recommended this littel gem tucked away in a side street off the Main Square, great selection of salads & veggie stuff for those wanting a break from the meat & veg, ideal for a lunch stop packed with locals, so is great value and you can eat in ot take away.

Chimera is a salad bar upstairs, with cellar restaurant downstairs,in what I guess you'd call a shabby chic style. Very laidback, and in a great location just off the main market square. The food in the salad bar is particularly good value; a main dish and several salads ( hearty helpings!) with a glass of freshly squeezed juice for less... More

Popped in for a one plate meal around 9:30. The food was flavoursome and nicely seasoned if a little unspectacular. The ambiance was good as was the service. Dark Horse had duck and I pork with a wild mushroom cream sauce which was all very satisfactory. The house wine; an unknown Italian red was actually really good. We have 2... More

This veranda-like place appears to be everyone’s darling, locals and tourists, young and old. Right off the main square, it is tucked away in the back of a building, but everyone seems to find his way there at any time of day. In a cafeteria-like setting, the counter is full of inviting fresh produce with a feast of vegetables in... More

Enjoyed a great meal here with lots of choice and value for money. Desserts are excellent too with a good variety. For my friends it was their second visit in the long weekend. Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. Would like one of these near where I live in the UK!

I saw this restaurant in the daytime and being a vegetarian was relieved to find somewhere where I could eat something other than pizza, pasta or greek salad. The array of salads looked amazing. However, my criticism of this restaurant, like many in Krakow, is that customers are not helped to understand how the ordering and menu system works. There... More

The Salad bar Chimera in Kraków's old town has a huge selection of different salads, a lot of them are vegan, and very, very tasty! It is located between the main market (rynek glowny) and the planty-greenbealt, in a covered yard, with lots of plants and daylight - a great atmosphere. You can have just one serving (100 gr) for...
