Great ambience, delicious tomato soup

This place had such a wonderful and cozy aesthetic, with lots of greenery and live music (at least the evening we went). I opted for the 4-dish pick and had some fresh food including a DELICIOUS tomato soup (hard to find vegan at non-vegan restaurants) and a creative bean-filled taco with pineapple added. I do wish there were more vegan options but everything was tasty. I also got a nice hot wine.

Disappointing food

I had checked this restaurant out after looking at reviews on Google and HappyCow. While the place had a nice ambience, good seating options and cheap prices, the food looked terrible. I visited around 18:30 and I did not like how the salads looked. They were all soggy and drenched in various forms of dressing and their own juices. They are probably good during the day time, when they are freshly prepared.

Pros: Nice ambience

Cons: Soggy salads

Very disappointing vegan options so felt a bit misled by Happy Cow tbh. Lovely place otherwise!

Good, cheap food

This is a salad bar, where you can choose to have 4 (22 pln) or 6 portions (28 pln).
They always have various vegan options, but sometimes not more than 6. One of the options is a soup, one is a fruit salad, and the rest is seasonal.
Outside of these portions, you have cakes, one of which vegan (but not great).
All of the vegan options are clearly labeled.
It is always tasty, fresh and fast !

Pros: Variety of choices, Seasonal, Cheap

Cons: Lack of choice if you want 6 portions

Student place, student prices.

Student place, student prices.
It's actually a salad bar, where you choose portions and specific dishes. I recommend checking the free seats in the upper right corner. on weekends very often someone plays the piano there, candles are burning and it's downright romantic - perfect for a date, and very cheap.
PS is located practically on the main market

A full experience for small price

While the vegan options may be somewhat limited, the price (4 dishes for 20pln, 6 for 25pln) it far than makes up for it in ambiance. Feels like a hip expensive "place to be", complete with live piano playing and open layout with high ceilings. Lots of places to find that perfect spot to sit in this 2-floor lively place.

Pros: Excellent atmosphere , Centrally located next to main old town square , Super inexpensive

Cons: Not vegan, but vegan items labeled

Great selection of Vegan food!

We had a brilliant lunch here. Lots of vegan dishes on offer. 5 different salads, roasted veg, vegan stew, vegan cake and topped it off with 0.5L of Pinot Grigio. Super cheap and great atmosphere.

I love it!!

One of the best restaurants in Cracow. You can choose between many options and the portions are quite big. They always have many things for vegeterians too.

Great for vegetarians but not much vegan offer. Nice interior.

This is kind of a traditional self-serve eatery, inexpensive, very popular with locals and located right off the main square. Everything vegetarian/vegan is clearly labeled.

I have mixed feelings about this place since if you are vegan, you will probably end up eating just sides and salads, and I do not recommend their vegan cake as it is quite dry and bland.

But I really like the interior and atmosphere of the place and it is definitely a great spot to go to with your omnivore friends.

Pros: Inexpensive, Location, Traditional Polish food

Cons: Not much vegan offer

Quick

They have a few vegan options but I don't like that most their offer has been the same for a few years. But it's quick and cheap, and in the center.

Pros: quick

Salads and quiches are always the same (at least for ten years the same), there are a few vegan options, service is quick.

Pros: Quick service

Cons: There is nothing particularly worth going

Best deal in Krakow

Even it is not fully vegan, nor vegetarian, this place is the best restaurant in Krakow. It is a kind of salad bar with some hot meals and soups. Also the cuisine is very similar to traditional, Polish one. The food is fresh and saciating.

Extremely cheap (20 PLN per meal).

I would put 5 or even 6 stars, if I could!!!

Pros: homemade food, labels vegan, cheap

Cons: none

Ok food, great ambiance, very affordable

Food is served cafeteria style. The only thing I absolutley loved was the pumpkin soup. This place gets VERY crowded, so pick your table before you get in line. Just take turns getting food or put your coat down.

amazing place

Salad bar (ground floor with some mezzanine level) is absolutely amazing. You can choose from several different salads and dishes - all of them are clearly marked as vegan/vegetarian/GF. Meat options as well so it's a perfect place for mixed dietary requirements company (which is not that easy to fulfill in Poland...). Unlimited bread. Homebaked cakes - again, clearly marked vegan/GF. Healthy drinks, juices, teas etc.

Pros: lots of vegan options, clearly marked , unlimited bread

Cons: one toilet...

Nice place

We ate here twice. We had dinner in the basement restaurant. They only have one vegetarian dish on the menu, which is a selection of various foods. Very nice, but not vegan. We also had lunch in the buffet restaurant. Not bad either, although the vegetarian and vegan options are limited unless you only eat salad.

Pros: Cheap. Lots of different people, both tourists and

Cons: Not many vegan options.

Amazing green venue

Buffet with vegetarian and (sometimes) vegan options. Big portions at a cheap price. The venue is in an inner yard, full of plants around you, feeling like in a garden!

Pros: big portions, variety of options, the amazing venue: inner yard like a forest/garden

Cons: not always have vegan options
