Hungry in Cracow

As one of the cheapest cities in Europe, Kraków has got impressive amount of attractions to offer. Especially for those who are searching for something to fill your belly with. I asked my friend who lives in Kraków to make a list of places which are her favourites and which backpacker will enjoy. She picked top 5 places where you can eat something delicious, unique and in reasonable prices:

1. Momo
It's something between a milk bar and a restaurant. It's a great place for vegetarians and Indian cuisine fans (they serve Indian dishes, but without their extra spicy flavour). Momo is an eko vege bar located on Kazimierz, very old district in Kraków. Address: Dietla 49 street.

2. Love Krowe
They serve burgers, burgers and once again burgers! All kinds of it, American style, with lots of different and sometimes unusual ingredients. Inside the restaurant there is also a gallery where you can buy photos, graphics by Polish artists or see the exhibition. PS. The interior is decorated by a Polish street-artist Why-duck. Address: Brzozowa 17 street.

3. Casserole under the 'Okrąglak'
Absolutely legendary casserole from Kraków you'll find only here. If you expect a bar or restaurant, you'll be suprised. 'Okrąglak' is a round building with 10 or more windows where you order a casserole. If you don't know which window to pick - take this one with the longest queue :) Basic (cheese&mushrooms) casserole costs 4,50 PLN (!!!) and you can compose your own food by adding other things like pepper, onion, ham, bacon, dozen kind of sauce (even Dracula sauce) etc. If you are searching for local specialities, this is a totally must visit! Address: Nowy Square 4b.

4. Filarek Milk Bar
Traditional Polish home-made dishes. If you want to try 'schabowy' or 'pierogi' the way they are eaten at Polish homes, you have to come here. The prices are extremely cheap and it's a place typical for the locals. You won't meet any foreigners here. 'Pierogi' with strawberries, 'schabowy' and 'żurek' soup are the best choices. Address: Starowiślna 29.

5.Morskie Oko
'Morskie Oko' is a beautiful lake in Tatra Mountains, so it's easy to guess that this place serves dishes loved by highlanders. If you are searching for a big dinner sprinkled with folklore, this is the best choice. Also, the decorations are great. Address: Szczepański Square 8.
