My favourite restaurant in Poland

I loved this place! I was on the hunt for some traditional Polish food but vegan which had proved challenging until I discovered Glonojad. I tried the pirogues with beetroot and carrot and raisin salad which was a delicious meal. They also have great wifi!

tasty


Really tasty food. I had a veg burrito and you get a choice of 2 salads, which were delicious. Girlfriend had a curry w/rice & salad. Tasted them too, yum. Was watching other customers and they cleaned up their plates too.

Pros: Reasonably priced and good food.

Cons: Easy to find by the address but sign was pretty sm

Not a Lot of Actual Choice

At least, there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice - despite the seemingly quite extensive menu - if you go from 8pm onwards, at which point they will have sold out of most things (including draft beer!). I was hoping for quite a lot from Glonojad, as a friend had visited it a few years previously and spoke well of the place, but, in truth, I was a little underwhlemed. The food, of which I had the Russian style pierogies, was fine, but nothing that couldn't be purchased from a million other places. Nice fish logo, though.

Find this little gem!

We were so tickled to find this place that we went there three times during our short stay in Krakow. All vegetarian with lots of vegan options (I'm vegan). Entrees can be ordered a la carte or with your choice of about six different sides. Tap beer and cider available, good coffee drinks available with soy milk, and large portions. Oh, and did I mention, it's super cheap! Outdoor seating available. Very friendly and helpful staff (mostly college students) who speak English. I told my friend that if this restaurant was in my home town, I would be eating out a lot! WOW! I miss this place.

Pros: All vegetarian with vegan options, Good healthy food, Amazing value

Not enough vegan options

I thought Glonojad was just okay. There was a lot of choice for vegetarians but not enough for vegans in my opinion. Out of 8 delicious looking salads, only 3 of the most bland looking were vegan (celery salad, grated carrot or roast beetroot). Even though there is a vegan curry listed on the menu I was told upon ordering that they only had non-vegan curries that day. My boyfrend and I shared a burrito and lentil prerogis. The prerogis were delicious (and I was very happy to finally be able to try this traditional Polish cuisine!), but the burrito wasn't very nice. It had a heavy Indian flavour and didn't taste like a burrito at all. I will say the vegan hot chocolate (orange and cinnamon) was AMAZING, but probably not worth going back.

Pros: Good hot chocolate, Nice prerogis

Cons: Not enough options, Disappointing burrito

good food, nice atmosphere

I had planned to come here,but then decided to go to NovaKrova instead for lunch. Thanks to a thunderstorm I still ended up there - soaked, but still not very hungry. Nonetheless I decided to try the (vegan) Samosas and a fruit smoothie and I am happy about it - super tasty!
Also the location and the atmosphere is good, despite many vegan places, which often look a bit more like fast food snack bars, this one really looked professional and still it was not expensive.
Recommendable!

Pros: food, atmosphere, service

Cons: none

Pros: good value, tasty food, nice place

Cons: not many GF and VEGAN options

Good

Went a couple of times during our visit in the city. Nice to be able to try "local" food without having to worry about hidden animal ingredients. Enough choices. Would come again.

Pros: Wifi, alcohol, friendly staff

Lovely friendly place to eat veggie

Having read the reviews on Happy Cow we were delighted that this lovely café was so close to our hotel and we were able to go straight there on our first night in Krakow. A great start to our holiday. Staff were helpful, friendly and spoke English. There is an easy going relaxed atmosphere. Food was tasty and filling with wonderful variety of salads. Loved the vegan chilli with buckwheat and the dumplings. Very affordable. We ended up coming back for another meal the next night and for coffee and cake another time too! It's not too far from the main square and the train station - definitely recommend it!

Pros: friendly staff , menus in English, reasonably priced

By far the best in Krakow!

We ate there several times and simply loved it! The food is extremely tasty and cheap (around 10-15 Zloty for a main course) and a lot of dishes are vegan or can be veganised.

Pros: great food, perfect location - near the station, free wifi

Cons: not completely vegan

Central & quick but nothing special

Located just a few minutes from the main station it is within easy reach.
I ate there a vegan curry with tofu, which was ok. You get your meal immediately, without waiting at all. But as in all quick service restaurants the quality cannot be the best. It's still ok, though.

Pros: no waiting, nice ambience

Cons: lukewarm/watery food

Bad day?

Having read all the rave reviews, I thought I'd give this busy place a try. I knew not to expect a wide range of vegan dishes, so I chose the dish that I had not yet tried: lentil pierogies - the Glonojad version - with two side salads. I'm not sure what the dumplings were meant to taste like, but I was not impressed at all! Perhaps they were half-cooked, perhaps the filling was over-cooked; I don't know, but the dumplings failed me completely. Thankfully the salads were rather tasty. Overall, though, this sort of meal is so light that it cannot be anything other than a snack.

The cafe is very busy at lunchtime and all the staff speak English. Perhaps I was there on an off day for the chef. I was also disappointed to see that there was no vegan dessert choices.

Pros: Good atmosphere, trained, English-speaking staff, quick service

Would Recommend

I ate countless meals here while I stayed in Krakow. It was easy to find and the staff was pretty friendly. I really liked the carrot and raisin salad! Also, the smoothies and iced coffee were really good! I just wish there had been more vegan desserts

Cons: cookies were the only vegan dessert

Great food

I stumbled on this place by accident, and I was really glad I did. I wound up going here every day while I was in Krakow. Their coffee is cheap, they have new options every day, free wifi, very friendly employees, warm atmosphere (nice change from the cold Krakow winters).

My favorite is the chili served over rice. Definitely check it out. Prices are quite cheap, also.

Pros: Vegan chili, Friendly staff, All-veg

Excellent range of food - will eat here again

I ate here in January 2013 and was very glad I did as the food was lovely and there were many options. I would definitely eat here again. Wifi also available here which is a plus. There is no table service as is the case with the other places I have visited in Krakow but the staff seem friendly.

Worth going to but not a lot of vegan options

The staff knew right away what was vegan and would could be made vegan when I asked. I had some delicious lentil dumplings along with a slice of carrot cake. Not my favorite place since there are only a few vegan options, but definitely worth checking out if you get sick of Cafe Mylnek or Momo.

Friendly, fast and filling food

Nice folks and the food is clean, 100% vegetarian with a good # of vegan options. Polish style cooking, only meatless. Veggie patties nice with choice of grain and sauce. Others liked their samosas. Great deal for a nice lunch in a friendly atmosphere. Wireless Internet too.

Pros: friendly people, fast service, filling Polish veg food

Cons: not super unique

The Wonderful Algae Eater

Really special place in a fantastic setting right next to the Pomnik Grunwaldzki on Plac Matejki. Excellent choice of mainly Polish influenced food or international food served in a Polish style; potato cakes, sweet and savoury pierogi (dumplings), samosas, curry, salads, lasagne and other pasta dishes. Tyskie beer is available on draught, bottled beers and other cold drinks as well as excellent coffee and other hot drinks are also served. Modern interior, friendly staff and a great place to chill out especially on a sunny afternoon on the outside seating. Vegan choice is OK but could be better. Krakow now has a great complement of vegetarian places and this is a fantastic addition.

Pros: food, staff, service

Cons: vegan choice

We went here for lunch I just had the somosas with a lovely homemade tomato sauce very filling. My mum had chickpea curry, the chickpeas bit hard but good healthy food definately worth going in a meat filled city

Pros: healthy, cheap, simple

Cons: bit bland

The place to get vegan pierogies in Krakow

A really nice, low-key restaurant with a few vegan dishes and others that can be made vegan. Well worth the visit.

Pros: Excellent food, friendly staff, smoke-free
