What are the best vegetarian restaurants in Krakow?
Krowarzywa Vegan Burgers
Yummy burgers with great meat alternatives
This 100% vegan burger joint has taken the city by storm since setting up shop in late 2015. From tofu patties to seitan buns, the menu covers all the top choices when it comes to meatless burgers. Add to that a medley of vegan-friendly cheese, awesome sauces (try the spicy tomato one if you’re in for a lil’ kick!), a range of homemade lemonades and some uber-healthy smoothies and you’ve got something really special! The stripped-down interior is great for casual eating, but the Planty Park is just up the street for summertime picnics too.

Pod Norenami
Veggie Asian fusion cuisine
Rarely has a vegetarian restaurant been as innovative as the Asian kitchen at Pod Norenami. Find it located on the edge of hip and upcoming Krupnicza Street. Granted, the menu is a baby War and Peace, with more options than you can shake a steamy Vietnamese pho at. But there’s no denying that the food is top-quality. Check out the sizzling black bean and “chicken” stir fries, the range of curious Chinese teas, and the all-new Indian thali platters. That’s really just scratching the surface of the in-house specialities.

Glonojad Vegetarian Bar
Classic vegetarian spot with simple food
Glonojad Vegetarian Bar has been a staple vegetarian restaurant in Krakow for some time. Its central location (just on the edge of plac Matejki) draws regular crowds, both local, traveling and student. The menu fuses flavours from the Orient with Rajasthani bhajis and Middle Eastern dishes. So, expect eggplant stews, falafel tortillas and a whole host of colourful smoothies and juices that just ooze healthiness. Oh, and to balance it out: beer and wines – organic, of course! Be sure to ask if you want a meal made vegan here, it should be a breeze.

Veganic Restaurant
Fancy veggie food in a stylish venue
Veggies and vegans all over Krakow expected big things when they saw that Veganic was to take a place in the once upcoming development of Tytano – a whole lifestyle and nightlife complex on the north-western edge of the Old Town. Few were disappointing. Regularly changing menus include things like cauliflower croquettes with capsicum, grilled halloumi burgers (standard) and butter paneer cheese curries. For the summer months, there are outdoor areas with lazy deckchairs to enjoy. The restaurant has since changed locations because the hipster setting Tytano is no longer about. The new Karmelicka venue is even more chic and stylish than the last one.
Karmelicka 34, 31-124 Kraków, Poland, +48 668 468 469
Bhajan Cafe Indian Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant
Spiced-up veggie Indian treats
Bhajan Cafe beckons spice aficionados with a menu that ranges through the favourite staples of the Indian subcontinent. Only here, everything is veggie. There are samosas and deep-fried pakoras in garam flour to kick things off. Then you’ve got the soups of lentils and methi. And then come the full-on curry dishes, ranging from spinach to tofu doused in madras gravy. You don’t have to eat, either – coffees and warming winter teas also abound.
Stradomska 17, 31-068 Kraków, Poland, +48 795 895 895
