Belvedere and Hotel Litwor are both highly regarded locally, though are somewhat
more expensive.
Very Expensive
Otwarcze POLISH The loudest and most popular of a number of similar faux-
folk-style grill restaurants along the main pedestrian street. Rack after rack of yard-
long shish kabobs on the grill, an ensemble of highlander musicians to set the mood,
and waitstaff decked out like a Polish episode of Little House on the Prairie. Don't
panic. It's just as kitschy for Poles as it is for everyone else, and the mood is definitely
fun. The menu runs several pages long, but most people simply order the “szaszlyk”
(shish kabob), a mix of grilled pork, sausage, and onions, served with grilled potatoes
and a self-serve salad.
Krupówki 26-28 (just around the corner from the Kolorowe.) No phone. Lunch and dinner items 27 zl-36 zl
($9-$12/£5-£7). No credit cards. Daily 11am-10pm.
Expensive
Kolorowe POLISH Similar in attitude but perhaps slightly quieter and more
civilized than the Otwarcze next door. A similar card, with mostly pork shish kabobs
on the grill, and accompanying live music and waitresses in full peasant regalia. They
also offer pizza, but that's more of an afterthought. Stick with the grilled meats and
enjoy.
Krupówki 26. & 018/150-55. Lunch and dinner items 21 zl-30 zl ($7-$10/£3.60-£6). No credit cards. Daily
11am-10pm.
Moderate
Kalina POLISH The quietest and altogether most pleasant of the Polish-style
restaurants on Krupówki and certainly worth seeking out. Here the folklore element
is low-key. You won't always find live music, but as compensation you'll get a cook
who pays more attention to what's on the plate and some alternatives to grilled pork,
like decent pierogies and roast duck. The interior is done up in traditional cottage
style, meaning intricately carved woodworking, wood-beamed ceilings, and a nice
warm fire.
Krupówki 46. & 018/201-26-50. Lunch and dinner items 18 zl27 zl ($6-$9/£3.30-£4.80). No credit cards. Daily
11am-10pm.
Pstrag Górski SEAFOOD Popular little spot just off the main drag that special-
izes in grilled river fish, especially—as the name suggests—trout (pstrag). Good choice
for a nice lunch or a light early meal. In addition to fish dishes, they also have a full
range of grilled meats. In summer, eat on the covered terrace overlooking the throngs
on Krupówki,
Krupówki 6. & 018/206-41-63. Lunch and dinner items 18 zl-24 zl ($6-$9/£3.30-£4.80). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily
11am-10pm.
Soprano ITALIAN Hard to believe, but you can actually find outstanding
pizza in the middle of the kitschiest street in Poland. Soprano offers most of the stan-
dard combinations, but also has healthier options like broccoli and fresh spinach top-
pings. Sit out on the terrace and enjoy the view, or have a quieter, candlelit pizza in
the back.
Krupówki 49. & 018/201-54-43. Lunch and dinner items 21 zl-27 zl ($7-$9/£3.60-£4.80). No credit cards. Daily
11am-10pm.
