Krakow Restaurants, a Dining Guide 
																								
				Krakow, Poland’s Mecca of gourmets, can boast many excellent restaurants.  
                  
					Good restaurants and various 
					other eateries that offer quality food are found throughout 
					the city. Yet Krakow’s historical Old Town central district 
					seems virtually stuffed with establishments catering to all 
					kinds of diners. Here, within easy walking distance, one 
					discovers hundreds of restaurants, cafes, bistros, grills, 
					pizzerias, salad bars, etc. They are lodged in every 
					available space of the area’s old palatial residences and 
					stately burgher houses – upstairs, downstairs, and most 
					willingly in those vast ancient cellars. No doubt, the 
					exquisite and picturesque period interiors are a premium. 
					And from springtime through 
					autumn restaurant tables take up the streets and squares of the 
					mostly pedestrian precinct as well as backyards turned 
					gardens. 
					 
					A couple of blocks south another scenic downtown district, 
					Kazimierz famed for its past Jewish quarter, also boasts numerous eateries. 
					And still further to the south is the city's newly 
					established gastronomic frontier in historic Podgorze town 
					across Wisla river. 
					 
					
					Krakow restaurant traditions 
                 
                  
					Krakow gastronomy has a long and glorious tradition that 
					dates back to the famously lavish medieval and Renaissance 
					feasts and the Baroque extravaganzas of Polish gentry 
					gourmets. And the city’s legendary restaurants of the past two 
					centuries are fondly remembered. Yet recent decades have 
					brought about a genuine restaurant explosion owing to the 
					hectic efforts of aspiring restaurateurs, native as well as 
					immigrants. And some Krakow chefs have achieved celebrity of 
					sorts.  
                
				
				Trends in Krakow's Restaurants  
                
				Currently fusion cooking seems to be 
				all the rage among the city's trendy chefs. Yet a creative adaptation of the old Polish cuisine 
				is 
				still in vogue. Also a revival of the local folk cookery goes 
				on. On the other hand Far East foods, once exotic, appear to 
				have become almost 
				staples nowadays. At the same time Krakow restaurant patrons 
				occur enamored of fine French and Italian cuisine more than ever 
				before.
