    There is a gorgeous hobbit style restaurant on the basement floor which we went to. The decorations are lovely and unique. The dishes are all local cuisine. We had a very nice cheese plate and we have order the rabbit dish which we didn't like so much. We also had a wine carafe which was great. The service was lovely as well. Overall we had a very nice time there

    A cosy place with reasonable prices and offers. The location is great: in the centre of the Old Town. I was starving and according to the local guide this place is a good combination of quality and price. What I liked is that for a certain price you get 4 or 6 items on your plate (for example, smashed potatoes, salads, meat, or a vegeterian dish). What I did not like is that when I was there, the choice was not wide :) But the staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is super cosy and authentic. All in all, I recommend this place. For a dish (consisted of four items), bread (I got 3 pieces for one person) and coffe I paid 30 zloty, which is around 7 euros.

    For many years I was passing from this place and never tried the food...now I know it was a bad decision. The place except the amazing environment just in the city centre has also excellent and well cooked food. Gives you the feeling that someone invited you in his family dinner. - quality&quantity: the taste is super good and everything looks fresh. Quantity definitely you will be full - price: you have options to pick from buffet 1 portion or fixed price for 4 and 6. For 4 I paid 18 pln super cheap. - service: you pick what you want and pay in the cashier. Stuff was friendly. Very nice environment with a lot of plants.

    My absolute favourite restaurant/canteen in Krakow. The value, atmosphere and aesthetic cannot be beat. Tastes like home. You can also find music being played in the background occassionally. In the evening they put out candles and it makes the restaurant feel magical.

    Not sure what the special about this place except the nice ground floor interior gardens. I have tried two different cakes (chocolate and plums) literally not eatable - artificial chocolate taste or bad quality chocolate, plum with the excessive sugar and thick brick of crust)

    One of the best restaurants I've ever seen! There's a warm and family atmosphere, and when you get inside you instantly feel like at home. The food was so delicious and the staff was super friendly! The prices are very affordable and I highly recommend trying their food. There are a lot of plants and artistic works in the place.

    On of the best Polish cafes located in the Old Town, Krakow. You have variety of options including gluten free and vegan. The best part is its written in English so that foreigners can just walk in and order food as they like. Its a lovely place to hang out with your friends or family. Lovely ambience with music and food. You get a meal of 4 items of your choice for 20 PLN (including soup and salad). Best place at best price. Highly recommended!!

    Die älteste Salatbar in Krakau, kenne ich noch aus meiner Studienzeit. Tolle Lage und gute Auswahl. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist super. Immer gut, wenn man eine Kleinigkeit essen möchte. Auch abends eine schöne Atmosphäre, auch mit Klaviermusik.

    I love Polish food😍😍 🥬This restaurant is super-friendly for vegetarians! There are many options, whether it's salad, soup, or beverages. Even though I am not a vegetarian, I still found a lot of appealing dishes because there were too many options! As a traveler, I am sad that I can't try everything out there.🥺🥺 Before entering the restaurant, I stood outside and looked from outside to inside. The restaurant's vibe is mysterious, resembling a magical school🪄 I’ll definitely come again some day when I visit krakow😍

    Good food, you can choose 4 different portions for 24 or 6 for 29 zloty. Very nice athmosohere and quick service. I would recommend for a healthy quick bite.

    A cafeteria-style Polish restaurant with very nice and cozy atmosphere filled with an incredible number of tropical plants. Food is tasty, there is quite a variety, and many vegan selections.

  • 5/5 Mariam 3 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    Amazing atmosphere. Very good and healthy food. A lot of options. Cozy place really near the main square. It is very affordable. It's like a relaxing place.

  • 5/5 Lois K. L. 11 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    the loveliest, most magical, romantic salad-bar ever. abundant with plants, paintings, and interesting juices. delicious, fresh & balanced servings at a grad-school friendly budget. it's my go-to recommendation for friends & i come here nearly every other day :) if you're a chocolate fan, i must say, the cranberry tart is especially divine. as the sun sets, candles flicker to life and on weekend nights, soft live piano music often fills the vibe. by a happy happenstance, i have gotten to know the owners now too. wonderful souls.

  • 5/5 Anne 10 months ago on Google
    Love this cool cafeteria style restaurant. They have lots of vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. Atmosphere is pretty nice too.

  • 4/5 Lina U. 8 months ago on Google
    Good quality-price option in the old town of the city. Really loved the atmosphere inside and the thematic “chimera” ambience. The food is very good if you want to try out different local options and flavors. Very refreshing salads and lemonade.

  • 5/5 Oleksandra P. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place to eat fast, healthy and cheap 22zl for 4 options from menu, 28zl for 6 options Drinks are for additional price I visited about dinner time, a lot of people but not crowded Food is good

  • 4/5 Mitch F. 4 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    This restaurant had the best atmosphere I experienced of any restaurant in the city! The value was amazing and it is always full, because people realize this when they visit! The only drawback was that this was a very carbohydrate heavy option with basically no protein. Some choices included 1oz/28g of fish or chicken but the protein is very light. Think of it as a cafeteria style restaurant, with only sides as options to choose from. With that said, if that is not a concern, I would put this gem on the top of the list!

  • 4/5 Snow G. 9 months ago on Google
    Really nice place for a quick and inexpensive lunch. You can choose 4 or 6 options for a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Mibin M. 10 months ago on Google
    The tour guide told me about this place and after trying the food now I am so impressed by the taste and variety of food for just 6 euros. I especially liked the mussels salad and also the potatoes and vegetables pancakes. The servers were the most friendliest I have seen in a long time. Highly recommended if visiting Krakow.

  • 4/5 Giuseppe A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cheap self service restaurant. For only 25 zlotys (big plate)you can not pretend a Michelin restaurant food quality.but the location is cosy and green.

  • 5/5 Barbara B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice salad bar with some creative and some traditional dishes- recommended for daily veggie intake

  • 5/5 Evgeny I. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice place to have a good healthy meal. But you better take the set of four or more, otherwise it may not be that profitable let's say. Anyhow, you can find a lot of options there, and mostly it's vegetarian-friendly. Staff speaks English. The food itself is pretty tasty. Nothing extraordinary, but pretty good.

  • 5/5 Paul Jones (. 3 years ago on Google
    By the great horned god! This place is so good, it made me want to give up meat. It's been my go-to place for vitamins for over a decade, and has never let me down!

  • 4/5 Sunny K. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are a backpacker like me, you must visit this place! You can choose 3, 4 different types of Polish healthy food, it costs nothing compared to the price. There are lots of home-made juices as well. The atmosphere is pretty cozy and lovely. If you are a vegetarian, you're more than welcome!

  • 5/5 Marti 2 years ago on Google
    Healthy food for a very low price. Lovely and cozy. One of my fave places to eat!

  • 5/5 Paul D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great selection of salads.

  • 5/5 Δημοσθενης �. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has a very nice and special atmosphere. Sb has the opportunity to savour several healthy food plates at a reasonable price. A very good alternative for those who do not want to go to a restaurant around the central square of Stare Miasto.

  • 5/5 Hyun A. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful odd decoration at chimera! Traditional polish cuisine at very reasonable price! Tasty and cozy! Very friendly waitress. We enjoyed very much the lunch special menu. If you're in Krakow, must try! (There's a restaurant with servers downstairs and on the ground floor there is another self service cafeteria style dining area where you pick up your food on your tray.)

  • 5/5 Agnieszka 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place to stop by for food or just a coffee and cake. I loved the design and decor with green plants! Also prices are affordable.

  • 5/5 P Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty dishes, affordable price, quick service. Local people also come here to eat or to take away. Beautiful garden style. The only thing can be improved is the toilet, there is only 1 toilet while there are lots of customer.

    I am coming to this place since over 10 years and I love it, this place tells me about good Poland. Good food, pretty inside, healthy, friendly, always fresh and simple, absolutely my must go in Krakau. 😍🤩😍

  • 5/5 CJ 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic canteen-style food. Super healthy, tasty and very well priced. Great ambience with lots of plants and a piano 🌱 Mostly veggie options (not completely!) with beer, wine etc. available. You choose 1, 4 or 6 items which they serve up together and there's so much variety to choose from. One of my favourite places in Kraków! ❤️

  • 4/5 Nigel G. 1 year ago on Google
    You need to queue up to get your share. This is a concept eatery which dates back to century old shop. You get 4 picks in a plate for 20 zl and 6 picks in a plate for 25 zl. Based on the multiple options available, you can choose which items you want. You get a dip free as a compliment. Drinks, mainly juices, come for a price of 7-10 zl range. Located beside the main square in Krakow, this is a wonderful food joint. The taste of the food is a 4/5 experience for me. Overall, economical in a manner and nice open seating area.

  • 4/5 Lee 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good and inexpensive if you’re not a picky eater when it comes to taste. The desserts aren’t the best though as it is a bit dry but it’s not bad either. Portions of food is quite filling.

  • 5/5 Gergő S. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate meat with meat all day, and we wanted to eat something not too heavy. I searched for salad bars, and they was the first on the result list. We arrived, and selectes the four types of food for our plate. Vegan taco, some salad, a boiled corn, and a fruit salad. We drank apple pomegranade beetroot juice, and for dessert some cranberry chocolate cake. The flavour was a perfectly combined symphony! I loved all the bites. Extra was the live piano music <3
