Hi guys

A male friend of mine is visiting Krakow with his GF next week for 5 days but he is vegetarian i know from memory there is a couple of vegetarian places to eat, but obviously doesnt want to eat in the same places for the 5 days that he is there, will he find it a struggle eating out in many places or would he be okay asking for a vegetarian menu :)

cheers

I struggled with this. Krakow was the very city in which I returned to carnivorousness. I had been a veg-head before this. I think it was the ox-tongue!

But really, I think you'll have more trouble if you're a wine drinker.

I like Chimera.
Good restaurant downstairs, and more casual food on the ground floor in a nice courtyard. It's not just veggie but they have wonderful salads, vegetable pies, vegetable and fruit juices.

For a quick bite of lunch there is always the milk bar type places - I suppose quality might vary but you can get a heap of largely veggie based, nutritious and fairly tasty stuff very cheaply.

Wouldn't eaxactly be a prime destination for a dinner date though.

These are good, I tried them. The only thing they lack in their menus is meat, hahah.

Well good for you! Welcome back to a normal, balanced diet. Man, by nature and classification is omnivorous.

Nice one! I couldn't think of the name of this place -they are a chain?

If so, I was in the one in £ód¼ in Piotrkowska.

Wasn't bad at all.

Yes, it's a restaurant chain all over Poland. Despite lack of meat;) everything there is nic, also you can get some discounts there easily. But Glonojad is not a network, has interesting menu and a cool logo :D

Man by his nature is not simply an engine of unfettered consumption, because you can doesn’t mean you must.

I know you were joking.....I have had this for over 30 years....Carcass eaters who feel threatened by veggies.

The guy just wants a place to eat not to be judged.

Most of those "food by weight" places have quite a bit of vegetarian fare on the menu. I'm pretty partial to meat, but at the cafeteria places, I usually stay away from the "meat" dishes. The veggie dishes don't disappoint though :)

And for Barney, let me quote Bourdain:

"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans ... are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit."

:)

Totally my attitude, Convex (at least in the matter of meat, diet and vegetarianism, not smoking, hahah)!

Vegetarianism is the healthiest diet for one's body and for the Earth. We vegetarians are the future.

I think Denis Leary said it best: "Not eating meat is a decision, eating meat is an instinct!"

Vegetarianism is just fine for those that choose to eat that way. I don't regard it as inherently more healthy or moral or environmentally sound than an omnivorous diet though.

People who get upset at others' food choices are generally a royal pain in the аss no matter which side they take.

For vegetarian fare when eating out in Poland, also consider milk bars (bary mleczne). The atmosphere leaves something to be desired but the food is often very good, better than a lot of much more expensive places.

Yup, yup, and yup.

Also ,there are quite a few Indian places, Italian places (pasta and veggies), Thai...

And uh, ruskie pierogi should be on the menu at that fancy Polish joint you were going to :)

- Why deprive yourself a balanced diet? Why, why, why? In the name of what?! :) Carcass - I am not a scavenger, there's a difference. Do you also want to feed dogs with cereal?! They wouldn't dia, but won't be in good shape either... Anyway, I agree it's up to everyone's own decision.
