Ariel

Kraków


One of several Jewish restaurants in and around ul Szeroka, this atmospheric joint is packed with old-fashioned timber furniture and portraits, and serves a range of traditional dishes such as goose neck stuffed with chicken livers. Try the Berdytchov soup (beef, honey and cinnamon) for a tasty starter. There’s often live klezmer music here at night.
