I'll be honest, when I went to visit family in Krakow, Poland, I was worried I wouldn't find enough vegan options to sustain my lifestyle. But boy, was I wrong! This city has some of the most vibrant and delicious plant-based restaurants I've ever seen. In this blog, I'm excited to share my best recommendations for vegan travelers (and skeptics) looking for mind-blowing food in Krakow.
Momo Dumplings is a tiny gem in the heart of the city that serves freshly made dumplings with creative and vibrant fillings like lemongrass and black lentil or tofu and shiitake mushroom. As a vegan, I was thrilled to find plenty of plant-based options, like the spinach and dill dumplings or the carrot and ginger dumplings. It's the perfect place for a cozy dinner with a loved one or a fun night out with friends.
Krowarzywa is a vegan burger joint that will wow even the most die-hard burger lovers. Try their massive burgers made from seitan and tofu, with toppings like pickles, avocado, and a garlic sauce that will make your taste buds dance. The "Classic" burger is my top recommendation, with a seitan patty, vegan mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onions. The funky graffiti on the walls and retro black-and-white tiles make for a super cool atmosphere.
For a more sophisticated experience, check out Szara Ges, a European restaurant with a separate vegan menu. The vegan dishes are not only delicious but also look like works of art. Try the roasted butternut squash with smoked tofu or the beetroot risotto with hazelnuts and roasted garlic. The chandeliers and warm lighting make the space elegant and cozy.
Finally, if you're craving something sweet, head to Veganic Bakery for delicious vegan & gluten-free pastries. They serve an array of baked goods like cakes, cookies, and muffins, all made from plant-based ingredients. The cinnamon rolls are by far my favorite and can be dangerously addictive. The warm and wooden ambiance will make you feel right at home.
To my fellow vegan travelers, don't underestimate Krakow's plant-based food scene. It's a hidden treasure with some of the most amazing options I've ever tried. Don't miss out on Momo Dumplings, Krowarzywa, Szara Ges, and Veganic Bakery. You won't regret it.
