Hungry in Kraków? Get ready to fall in love with Polish food! Here are some traditional dishes you definitely should try during your stay:

Pierogi – Probably Poland’s most famous dish! These dumplings come with various fillings: meat, cheese and potato (ruskie or ukraińskie), mushrooms, spinach, or even fruits.

Żurek – A sour rye soup with sausage and egg. It might sound strange, but it’s full of flavor and perfect on a cold day!

Bigos – Also known as “hunter’s stew,” this dish is made of sauerkraut, fresh cabbage, meat, and spices. A true taste of tradition.

Placki ziemniaczane – Crispy potato pancakes, often served with sour cream or goulash.

Obwarzanek krakowski – A local street snack similar to a bagel. You’ll find them sold on street corners around the Old Town – cheap and delicious!

Kiełbasa z grilla – Grilled sausage, often served late at night from food trucks (try the one at Hala Targowa – a local legend).

Sernik (Polish cheesecake) – A sweet ending to your Polish food tour. Creamy, dense, and very satisfying!

Don’t be afraid to explore local milk bars (bar mleczny) – these affordable, canteen-style restaurants serve homemade food and are a great place to taste real Polish flavors.

Smacznego – enjoy your meal!
