    It's the greatest place where you can eat vegan meal. I always come back here, because I know that each and every dish is tasty, prepared with care and love. It's freaking delicious and healthy! I think that meat eaters should try it too! The owner makes awesome job not only with the food but with the place itself. Many thanks and greetings to the owner!😊

    No complaints here. Owner is very friendly, approachable and professional. All my dishes were great and tasted really good. I hope to revisit this place soon. The restaurant had an overall nice vibe, service was professional and the food was priceworthy.

    The food here is absolutely amazing, I had a very tasty soup & 2 kinds of crepes, the Inca crepes and the spicy enchilada type crepes , some of the best food I've ever tried anywhere! I also had the goji berry cheesecake for dessert and it was gone before I could take a pic for this review! The owner is also an extremely kind person who made me feel right at home. I will be happy to return.

    Amazing quality, very fresh and tasty meals. Everything is vegan, the atmosphere is very peaceful and it feels just nice being there. It is clear the owner loves animals, nature. So thank you for creating such lovely vegan spot!

    Came here by accident and never regretted once. I like it when there isn’t a million things to choose from and half of them turn out unavailable. This place offers just the right number of options, everything is freshly cooked. The cheesecake tastes a lot like the conventional one but creamier. It’s not too big but after the hearty main course it’s just what I needed. The patio looks homely and cosy thanks to the greenery all around it.

    I visited this vegan bistro and was thoroughly impressed. The lentil soup was delicious and bringing of life! I chose the Peruvian style crêpe, a hearty option with a nice level of spice. The owner was very kind and welcoming and gave me tips to find other vegan goods Krakow. I look forward to returning again soon!

    Such a good place to have lunch at. Very cozy and well located. This was the only place in Kraków where I could eat truly healthy, without the lots of sugar and oil that the other places offer. The potato soup and the curry crepes were amazing! Very good cappuccino as well. And the owner is a very friendly guy, treated us very well. Highly recommend!

    A great crepe place that is a bit secluded but definitely worth the visit. The texture of the crepes and the sweet tofu white ‘cheese’ are quite interesting and tasty. Definitely give them a visit :) Extra points for the very kind staff! 🤍

    This is an amazing establishment! I liked the interior, music and veranda. The soup was hot and satisfying. Pancakes with cottage cheese from tofu reminded me of my mother’s pancakes that I ate as a child. Thanks!

    Super yummy! A nice break from the tourist mob. We had a big group and pretty much ordered everything on the menu- it was all fantastic.

    The soup was delicious, and the Mexican crepes were absolutely cosmic. The owner is an incredibly friendly guy. We will come back whenever we visit Krakow. Highly recommended.

    Came here spontaneously to hunt down some vegetarian grub. The menu is very succinct & well thought out. Rather than having a hundred mediocre options you have a few well-put-together choices. Had a delicious pee soup, something akin to a mexican-style wrap with chilli (na naleśniku, że nie ma dobrego tłumaczenia na angielski) & a latte. The owner served me and we had some light conversation. Everything was delicious and the locale was very clean. Altogether it was a very pleasant experience - I had a wonderful dinner. Cheers Mr. Van Groch! :) Keep on fulfilling your dreams.

    Good food (had soup and curry pancakes) with funny names. Super helpful service! I forgot a bag in the garden and realised only long after the closing time of the bistro. Since I was leaving Krakow the next morning I contacted Van Groch right away (~21h) and they still answered and even came back to the restaurant specially for me, despite the fact that it was quite far for them. I got my bag back and am very grateful for that. This is not an ordinary place - it's warm and humane.

    I recommend Van Groch, whether looking for a different meal or just to rest from the madding crowd and have a peaceful and harmonious lunch. A mandatory visit for those who like Vegan food, the soups and pancakes at Van Groch are tasty, but above all, you can appreciate an enveloping atmosphere impregnated with the art of Van Gogh and certain oriental vibes. The owner speaks fluent English and has an excellent disposition with visitors. If you are looking for a bubble of peace where you can enjoy a healthy meal, you should visit Van Groch.

    I'm amazed by how friendly and helpful the chef was. He recommended me taking tacos instead of crepes (which were not available in menu) when I said I'm scared I won't be able to eat whole 2nd course after soup. Everything I ate there was really filling and nutritious while being whole vegan meal. I would definitely come back when I come to Kraków.

    Great, fresh food and friendly owner. We had a delicious hot veggie soup and then some pancakes with different fillings. Good prices, nice atmosphere with lots of plants. Shame I don't live in Krakow!!

    Very nice, cozy, vegan place with a friendly owner. He cooks the meal by himself. The place is located inside a yard, which is currently not illuminated at night, but google leads you exactly to the location!

  • 5/5 Martyna 1 year ago on Google
    Simple menu with very tasty pancakes. Soup (pea soup) also very good. Everything is prepared on a regular basis. The place has a nice garden away from the street hustle.

  • 5/5 Tessa F. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely food in a tranquil setting. You can tell the chef really cares about making a delicious meal. Basically the whole menu is gluten free.

  • 3/5 David Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Not so bad but not so good . We ordered one quesillada and one soup and the delivery time to table was more than 20 mn ( restaurant was not full ) . Soup was really good but quasadilla was ok ( nothing amazing) . Ambiance / décoration is really cold and can be really improved

    Really nice owner with a really cute place. A small menu but still enough choices. Really specialised in a kind of pancakes. Something special and different what i really like. Had an amazing meal.
