Review: Found this cheerful oasis on the way back to the old town from the Wawel. Two equal-sized rooms each side of the main counter, each brightly decorated with lots of artwork and neatly dressed tables complete with candles and flowers. We'd heard this was a good place to try pierogi, so gave it a go. Not entirely to our taste - but our lack of passable Polish and the absence of an English translation menu meant we were stabbing in the dark a little bit when we made our selections! A shame because there appeared to be almost endless variations of the traditional themes. Certainly good wholesome stuff, however, and we polished off our great value hot platefuls. Seems to be popular with students and does a steady trade in takeaways.
Pros: Value * wholesome * atmosphere
Cons: language barrier * * |

Review: I took the short walk from Cracow centrum headed to Momo near Kazimierz, but unfortunately Momo was closed when I got there. For whatever reason I didn't have Vega on my list of veggie places, but came across the Gertrudy ul. location just by chance on my way back. Glad I stopped in for a visit!
When I got there the place was pretty empty, but the food was hot, fresh, and totally satisfying. I had their special - a scrumptious vegan "goulash" with potato pancake. Not expensive, delicious, and actually a pretty nice place on the whole. Between this place and Momo, you'll be plenty full during your stay in Cracow. The town is full of energy and there's plenty to do and see, so having a good selection of veggie places is the proverbial icing on the Polish cake.
Pros: Very affordable * Comfortable * Hot and fresh
Cons: * * |

Review: Good location, fairly easy to find (just south and west of the old marketplace), and delicious variety of salads and vegetarian and vegan foods. Menu available in English, and at least one of the employees speak English. The one thing I did not like was that you pay for salad per salad type, unlike some other salad bars where you can have as many types as you want. Nice artsy atmosphere and music though.
Pros: Quiet Atmosphere * Wide selection * English spoken
Cons: small portions * * |

• You don't pay for salad per salad type. The salad comes in 3 sizes: "Dodatek" (addition), "Mały" (small) and "Duży" (big), resp. 2, 4 and 6 types of salad. You can choose any of the about a dozen types.. response by kris

Review: I found eating vegan in Poland very difficult, but Vega was a welcome surprise. The food was good and cheap. They were playing Neutral Milk Hotel on the sound system when I walked in, so I knew right away that I was going to have a good experience. I highly recommend Vega if you are a starving vegan in Poland or just looking for delicious food.
Pros: vegan options * cheap * good vibe
Cons: * * |

Review: Self service restaurant with english menus and english speaking staff, wher I went there on a Friday night. Plenty of choice on the menu and also a good choice of meals for vegans.
This is not a posh restaraunt although there were candles and the tables and the decor was nice.
You order your food at the counter and go back to the counter to pick it up. The service was very quick, so assume that eveerything is ready to go. The food is very nice and will fill you up on a cold day, also everything is very cheap compared to the UK.
I would recommend you try this restaurant out while in Krakow, as it's only five minutes from the main square.
Pros: Good food * Cheap * Very central
Cons: No beer on sell * * |

Review: We were very satisfied with this restaurant. Most of their dishes were typical Polish food cooked Vegetarian, so we didn't feel like we missed out on the local cousine that often contains some form of pork. Many tasty soups, good goulash and pierogies. Very friendly multi-lingual staff. We came back there every day we stayed in Krakow. Nice vibe.
Pros: good food * reasonable portion sizes (good value) * nice environment
Cons: * * |
