Krakow Fast Foods
Krakow snack of choice is obwarzanek, a palm-size twisted ring of bread strewn with poppy seed, sesame or salt. Street vendors sell the obwarzaneks all over the downtown area.

Bigos
Originally, Polish bigos has been hunters’ favorite meal. The pork, beef, ham, sausage and sauerkraut stew is easy to cook over a bonfire, easy to keep, tastes the same or better when reheated, and warms you up right away. Ingredients notwithstanding, bigos tastes great when done properly, and now many Poles relish it as everyday dish.
Nalesniki
Pancakes are popular lunch in Poland. Here they tend to be even thinner, served rolled up after spreading with jam or flavored cottage cheese, or anything.
Flaczki
Most probably tripe is not your idea for today’s lunch. But many Poles fall for a spicy dish of stewed tripe, best with liver dumplings and grated Parmesan.
Fasola po bretonsku
Another spicy stew, this one of beans and sausage.

Fast-food joints
Of course, outlets of major multinational fast-food chains (you name them) flourish in Krakow, and Big Mac sells at $1.5 or so. There is also no shortage of mom-and-pop joints with hotdogs, hamburgers, pies, toasts, etc.

Pizzas popularity with Krakow natives and visitors gave even rise to local mini-chains alongside multinationals’ franchisees and independent pizzerias. At the same time salad bars have won themselves numerous patrons, notably among students and young professionals.

Lastly you may opt for a relic of communist-style fast food and try one of Krakow’s twenty-odd remaining milk bars, once ubiquitous in Polish cities, whose not-so-well-off customers enjoy subsidized prices and simple eats based on dairy products, cereals and potatoes.

Eating the Krakow Way
It is hearty indeed.
