Klezmer-Hois, hallway in the building leading to restaurant and cafe full of antique furnishings

Klezmer-Hois

Kraków


Perhaps better than any other restaurant in the area, Klezmer-Hois evokes pre-war Kazimierz, with its tables covered in lace and artwork inspired by the shtetl (Jewish town). Warm up with a bowl of delicious soup invented by Yankiel the Innkeeper of Berdytchov. In the evenings, folks gather for concerts of traditional Jewish music (8pm).
