AWIW

Awiw (pronounced Aviv and named for the Hebrew meaning the season of spring) is a modern Polish restaurant located right in the hustle and bustle of Kazimierz’s center. Take a break from exploring, and slip away from the busy streets into this charming restaurant serving authentic Polish grub. The large menu at Awiw means you’re spoiled for choice, so come hungry and sample a variety of traditional polish dishes. In the winter, warm up to a hearty stew or a warm sandwich. For dinners, choose from a selection of grilled meats, delicious dumplings and healthy salads. Awiw has more than a few options on their menu under a Jewish cuisine section, including veal with latkes and beef cholent. If you’re craving a taste of traditional Polish-Jewish fair, your desires are bound to be satiated at Awiw. Make sure to leave room for dessert, as there’s an equally wide selection of sweets on the menu, which are mixed in modern and traditional origin. Paying tribute to its namesake, Awiw is decorated with orchids and flowers, giving its interior a welcoming garden-like feel. Awiw makes for a great place for a pit-stop when exploring Kazimierz, so stop in for lunch or an afternoon snack and get a real taste of Poland.

Hamsa Restobar

With the hopes of bringing the rich flavors of Tel Aviv and the Middle East to Kraków, Hamsa Hummus was opened in 2012 by 3 non-Jewish Polish friends who were inspired by Israeli culture and cuisine. Do not let the lack of Israeli or Jewish ownership deter you, the food is authentic and delicious. The vibrant menu pays homage to traditional Israeli cuisine, featuring shakshouka, challah toasts, and typical breakfasts of breads, spreads, salads and cheeses. On the weekends, Hamsa Hummus is known for its phenomenal breakfast buffet where you can indulge on fresh hummus, muhammara, cheeses, granola, veggies and more. For lunch and dinner, you can build your own mezze platter or choose from a selection of super salads or soups that are available a la cart. Hamsa Hummus also cooks a wide range of spiced meats and provides a handful of main vegetarian options, so there’s truly something for everyone on the menu. Make sure to save room for something sweet at the end of your meal. Hamsa Hummus makes traditional malabi, knafeh, and baklava, which are best enjoyed with a cup of hot Bedouin coffee. The bright decor of Hamsa Hummus creates a fun, colorful culinary experience that pays tribute to the traditions of the Middle East. Their commitment to using fresh, seasonal products means every dish is delicately crafted to provide guests with the best experience possible. They kindly cater to a range of diets including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free, which can be difficult to accommodate for with traditional Polish cuisine. While Hamsa Hummus does not serve local food, it is a local restaurant that provides the community with unique flavors of a different culture, giving both locals and tourists food for thought.

Klezmer Hois

Located in a former bathhouse in the heart of Kazimierz, the Klezmer Hois is a unique Kraków institution that cannot be missed. Situated just 100 meters from the Remuh Synagogue, adding an evening visit to the Klezmer House - complete with traditional Jewish music and Polish cuisine - is an easy way to experience a slice of the old Jewish traditions of Kraków. Authentically decorated and home to a large menu of delicious, hearty Galician Jewish food, the atmosphere of the Klezmer house is one-of-a-kind. Reviving the pre-war feel of Jewish Kazimierz by hosting nightly concerts, the Klezmer Hois has made a name for itself among international artists, actors, musicians, poets and painters. Celebrity guests of this culinary institution include Stephen Spielberg, Prince Charles, Roman Polański and many other notable visitors. At Klezmer Hois, you’ll find delectable classics including an array of zupa (soup), knische (a Russian Pierog Pie), Litvak-style herring and scrumptious kreplach, to name just a few. The restaurant has no shortage of teas and coffees, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages thanks to its fully-equipped bar and you can enjoy your food (and the delectable decor) as you listen to live traditional klezmer music which starts at every evening at 8pm. While reservations are not necessary they are suggested for large parties or special occasions.
