Served on soft bread with creamy cheese and a touch of jam or honey, it’s a simple yet delicious treat that brings back childhood memories for many Kraków locals. A perfect sweet start to our tour!
At our second hidden gem, you’ll enjoy a mix of savory pierogi — potato & cheese, cabbage & mushroom, and juicy meat-filled dumplings, all handmade and full of flavor. They’re served with a glass of kompot, a traditional Polish fruit drink made by gently simmering seasonal fruits. Light, refreshing, and the perfect match for this comforting dish!
At this stop, dive into the iconic zapiekanka, Kraków’s legendary open-faced baguette piled high with melted cheese and mushrooms. For an authentic twist, choose from other flavors like savory meats or veggies. Paired with a sparkling homemade limonada, this classic street food is not only a tasty bite but a true piece of Kraków’s culinary history — a hidden gem loved by locals for decades.
Time to say “Cheers!” with a shot of authentic Polish cherry vodka at a cozy local spot. Vodka is a must-try in Poland, and this sweet cherry flavor is a perfect introduction — smooth, rich, and a true taste of Polish tradition. Raise your glass with new friends and celebrate the unforgettable flavors of Kraków!
We’ll finish on a sweet note with a floral pączek — a traditional Polish doughnut filled with fragrant rose or other floral jam. Soft, fluffy, and irresistibly delicious, it’s the perfect treat to end our hidden gems food journey through Kraków.

Our tour guide was lovely! There’s plenty of opportunities for getting delicious food accompanied by plenty of opportunity for getting your daily steps in, for sure. Looking back, we feel the tour could be improved by a possible addition of a protein/vegetable-heavy food stop, or two. Totally recommend, regardless.

We did the food tour with Gabi, she was friendly and great to chat to! She had a lot of knowledge of the city. We had just arrived that morning so hadn't explored anywhere yet so it was great to have someone show us around. We got to try some of the local foods, such as Pierogi and Zapiekanka and a homemade lemon vodka shot! It wasn't a tour that was completely focused on food, like I was expecting, but it was a good mix of food, sightseeing and local history. It was a great way to be introduced in to the city. I would gladly do another one of Gabi's tours.
