Fodor's Expert Review Zakładka Bistro

What luck that award-winning chef Rafał Targosz, who has worked in top restaurants, has decided to open his own bistro in Kraków! The small but wide-ranging menu draws from both Polish and French culinary traditions and changes seasonally, but pay particular attention to the dishes of the day written out on a blackboard. The chef seems to do an equally good job with meat and fish, and both the soups and desserts are well worth your consideration. Zakładka takes reservations—which are strongly recommended. It's located just across the Vistula from Kazimierz, at the end of the footbridge.
