Milky Bar Pod Temidą

Krakow has many places where you can eat. No matter what you require will be delivered. Plenty of possibility to explore foreign style restaurants – there are chinese, italian, brasilian, and other. Equally many places serving traditional polish food, not mentioning fast foods on every corner of every street.

For people interested in discovering uniqueness of Krakow and it`s rare style we suggest a place which is not a restaurant per se, but more like a relict of communism or even nightmare from George Orwells book. The place is called “Bar mleczny pod Temidą” and it`s located in the heart of Krakow at Grodzka Street. During communistic times “bar mleczny” (direct translation – milky bar) was a government owned place to sell as many fast meals as possible. Something like a Communistic Fast Food – a McDonalds for working class, always hungry people, students who wouldn`t have much money or homeless people. After such times places like that became famous for cheep and good meals, so the same class of people would eat there. In this particular one you can still see an university lecturer along with students, or people straight from work. Food remained good and really cheap, maybe not the most sophisticated but really tasty. What has to be added to differentiate this place is very nice service. There is nothing like still present in polish shops and restaurants sweet “WHAT do you want?” at the entry. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Something worth seeing before completely extincts.
