Tasteful traditions

Taste the gourmet heritage of the city of kings, the region of castles, of manors of the nobility, and of simple peasant cottages. Kraków and Małopolska have meticulously retained the culinary delights of them all. More

What makes Małopolska a treasure trove of delicacies is the wide variety of local cooking traditions that have come to the city and region over the centuries with the people arriving here. There were also the monasteries that adjusted their menus to the seasons and religious practices. Their libraries are a source of delicious recipes, including for liqueurs and infusions. But traditional recipes, such as the shepherd’s own Oscypek cheese and Obwarzanki (Kraków bagels), have also survived and we’re very glad to share them with our visitors. We may draw from them directly, but we also continue to innovate, offering plenty of fusion and experimental cuisines. Obviously, we have eliminated the delicacies of bygone days that are quite untoward today. You wouldn’t eat beaver’s tails, would you? If you want a taste of what we have in store for you – whether in restaurants or in food trucks, hotels or bed & breakfasts, and at special gourmet workshops and fairs – why don’t you click here?

PS: Yes, we have the international chains too, and perhaps your Google Maps knows where to locate their clones, for we hardly ever visit them. Unless it rains.
