For such a small town Kazimierz has a serious eating-out scene — built around weekenders from Warsaw, but high quality and reasonably priced compared with the capital.
The local specialty is the kogut (rooster) — a yeasted bread loaf shaped like a cockerel, traditionally sold in small bakeries on the market square; pick one up at Sarzyński Bakery on Nadrzeczna Street, which has been making them since 1925. For lunch, Knajpa U Fryzjera is a small wood-panelled place doing classic Polish Jewish cuisine — gefilte fish, cholent, latkes. Restauracja Zielona Tawerna on the square does heartier Polish standards: pierogi, żurek soup, roast duck.
In summer the riverside cafe terraces are a fine spot for an afternoon beer and a sernik (cheesecake). Prices on the square are higher than in the back streets, but a full meal with drinks rarely runs above 100 zł per person.
