Krowarzywa

100% Vegan

ul. Sławkowska 8, 31-014 Kraków

Poland's most beloved vegan burger chain started right here in Kraków and has since expanded across the country. The rotating menu features inventive patties made from beetroot, black beans, falafel, and seasonal specials, all served with house-made sauces and fresh toppings.

🍽️

Vegab 100% Vegan

ul. Józefa 34, 31-056 Kraków

A Kazimierz institution serving generous vegan kebabs, wraps, and bowls at prices that feel almost too good to be true. The signature seitan döner with garlic-tahini sauce rivals any meat-based version in the city, and the falafel plate with fresh hummus and pickled vegetables is a reliable go-to. Casual counter-service vibes with outdoor seating in summer.

Glonojad

Plac Nowy 8, 31-056 Kraków

Located on the vibrant Plac Nowy market square, Glonojad has been Kazimierz's dependable vegetarian canteen for over a decade. The daily-changing menu features Polish comfort food staples — pierogi, placki ziemniaczane, and hearty soups — with the majority of dishes fully vegan. Generous portions and rock-bottom prices make it a backpacker essential.

Mango Vegan Street Food 100% Vegan

ul. św. Gertrudy 3, 31-048 Kraków

This colourful two-storey spot near Wawel Castle delivers global street food with a fully vegan twist — Indian curries, pad Thai, Buddha bowls, and Mexican burritos all share menu space. The mango lassi is legendary, and the lunch combo deal offering a main, side, and drink is one of Old Town's best bargains. Fast, friendly, and consistently delicious.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (320) Price: $6-11 Area: Old Town

Bistro Vegan na Kazimierzu 100% Vegan

ul. Miodowa 37, 31-052 Kraków

A refined plant-based bistro on the quieter end of Kazimierz, offering seasonal Polish-fusion tasting plates and an excellent selection of organic Polish wines and craft beers. The beetroot tartare, smoked tofu pierogi, and walnut-mushroom pâté showcase how elevated vegan Polish cuisine can be. Candlelit interiors and exposed brick create a date-night atmosphere.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (170) Price: $7-14 Area: Kazimierz

Nova Krova 100% Vegan

ul. Starowiślna 14, 31-038 Kraków

A modern all-vegan restaurant near the Main Market Square focusing on craft burgers, loaded fries, and hearty bowls. The smoked jackfruit burger and truffle-mushroom fries draw consistent praise, and the weekend brunch menu with scrambled tofu and vegan pancakes packs the house. Industrial-chic decor with a chill playlist and friendly staff.

HappyCow: ★ 4.0 (150) Price: $6-12 Area: Old Town

🍽️

WieloPole 3

ul. Wielopole 3, 31-072 Kraków

A calm, plant-filled vegetarian cafe just steps from St. Mary's Basilica, known for its homemade cakes, specialty coffee, and wholesome lunch plates. The vegan options are clearly marked and make up the majority of the menu — think roasted cauliflower steak, lentil dal, and raw cheesecake. A perfect mid-sightseeing recharge spot.

How We Ranked These Venues

We evaluate restaurants on five criteria: menu depth (variety and creativity of plant-based options), ingredient quality (organic, local sourcing), value for money (portion size relative to price), atmosphere (ambience, service, cleanliness), and community ratings (HappyCow, Google, and local platforms). Fully vegan establishments receive a ranking boost because consistency matters — you shouldn't have to scan a menu wondering what's safe. We re-check every venue quarterly and adjust rankings accordingly.

Tips for Visitors

Book ahead for dinner. The top-ranked spots fill up fast, especially on weekends. Lunch is almost always walk-in friendly. Check HappyCow for real-time updates — hours and menus shift seasonally. Ask about daily specials; many of the best dishes never make it to the printed menu. And don't skip street food — some of the most memorable plant-based meals in Kraków come from carts and market stalls that will never appear on a "best of" list.
