Popped in for a one plate meal around 9:30. The food was flavoursome and nicely seasoned if a little unspectacular. The ambiance was good as was the service. Dark Horse had duck and I pork with a wild mushroom cream sauce which was all very satisfactory. The house wine; an unknown Italian red was actually really good. We have 2... More

This veranda-like place appears to be everyone’s darling, locals and tourists, young and old. Right off the main square, it is tucked away in the back of a building, but everyone seems to find his way there at any time of day. In a cafeteria-like setting, the counter is full of inviting fresh produce with a feast of vegetables in... More

Enjoyed a great meal here with lots of choice and value for money. Desserts are excellent too with a good variety. For my friends it was their second visit in the long weekend. Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. Would like one of these near where I live in the UK!

I saw this restaurant in the daytime and being a vegetarian was relieved to find somewhere where I could eat something other than pizza, pasta or greek salad. The array of salads looked amazing. However, my criticism of this restaurant, like many in Krakow, is that customers are not helped to understand how the ordering and menu system works. There... More

The Salad bar Chimera in Kraków's old town has a huge selection of different salads, a lot of them are vegan, and very, very tasty! It is located between the main market (rynek glowny) and the planty-greenbealt, in a covered yard, with lots of plants and daylight - a great atmosphere. You can have just one serving (100 gr) for...

We ate at the salad bar and it was good, cheap food. The selection was good with a range of hot foods and salads with very generous portions. Great if you are on a budget and arent looking for sophistication.

We first visited Chimera in April last year and what a wonderful experience it was. My husband is a chef and has his own catering business and he was in his element. The food, the atmosphere, the staff were all truly wonderful. We also visited the downstairs restaurant one evening and weren't disappointed. A different atmosphere and menu to upstairs... More

We went here because it had good reviews and was recommended in our guide book.It's not at all expensive compared to England.However I found the menu a little odd.My husband had trout with CHEESE, and I had BOILED lamb with a garlic cream sauce! Our 12 year old had the grilled meat which was a chicken breast, it's not really... More

We went to the downstairs restaurant first. Order a starter and main course. Polish food. Far to much to eat. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Strange to see fried potatoes on top of barley with my goose breast. Next time we went to the salad bar. Fantastic value amd range of salad. You pay for number of items. We had... More
