"Chim chim for me"   My Rating

	Review: Ate here twice in three days, partly because it's just off the main square. It's not vegetarian as such but has a good choice of salads and a couple of hot veggie choices. You paid by the plateful - so much for a small plate, which would be piled high with four buffet choices, a bit extra for a large plate with six choices. It was all delicious. The restaurant itself has a very Bohemian feel to it with candles on tables laid out on a flag-stoned interior courtyard surrounded by greenery. Lovely atmosphere, partly down to the enthusiasm and good humour of the young staff. Baked potatoes directly from the top of a wood-burning fire just inside the door. Good range of fruit and vegetable juices as well as teas and coffees. English-speaking. Worked out that our basic meals and drinks cost us about £4 each!   Pros: Delicious food * Price * Happy staff Cons: Not veggy * *

"Excellent, fresh food with lots of healthy options"   My Rating

	Review: My husband (carnivore) & I (long-term vegetarian but who prefers to choose vegan food when eating out as get fed up with eggs & cheese) visited here on several occasions for lunch during our 5-day trip to Krakow (Oct 2008) from the UK. The vast majority of the food was vegetarian, and my husband & I both went for the "small plate" option of 1 hot dish with 3 salads; he chose vegetarian on each occasion. The dishes were delicious on each occasion, both the hot & the salad selections - it was quite exciting to have such a great choice of lovely fresh, healthy & imaginative salads, and drinks too, to create a well-balanced and delicious meal. Both of us would definitely recommend here. [We also happened to go to Green Way during our visit - definitely not the same range of fresh food there, there was a lot of pickled-tasting food which we had difficulty adjusting to, plus the "pretend meat" type of food which we don't particularly enjoy.]   Pros: Healthy options. * Imaginative salads. * Great choice. Cons: * *

"a Krakow institution well worth the visit"   My Rating

	Review: Great salad bar with many vegan options. Warm and cold options, including many salads with sprouts and other healthy veggies, potatoes, broccoli torte, etc. Excellent fresh nettle juice, carrot juice, melissa drink, kefir coctails. A few things are not vegetarian, like 2 out of 20 salads and 1 out of six warm options. Non-smoking downstairs in the creative cave-like atmosphere complete with fireplace and baked potatoes free to add to your plate. Very nice. Outdoor cafe is lovely, now glassed in for winter. The owners know what people like. We eat there alot especially in summer. It is fun dining outside. In winter, the food is not hot, so we don't go much. For what it is, it is a great find.   Pros: excellent salads * fresh always, food sells out daily * nice atmosphere, no smoke Cons: need hot food in winter * not completely vegetarian, but mostly *

	Review: Definitely not 100% vegetarian. With other vegetarian places so close (Green Way is very near just off the other side of the main square) I don't see any point in a vegetarian going to Chimera unless other options are closed. They didn't seem to be the most clued up about veganism when I asked. Definitely better alternatives for veg*ns in Krakow elsewhere.   Pros: Central location * Not great for vegans * Cons: Not 100% vegetarian * *
