Good salad bar with different options of soups, salads and other vegetarians sides. Came here coz one of us is gluten free and they do have some options. So that was easy. Nice ambience too. They juices and French white wine were very delicious too.

Amazing winter garden style restaurant/salad bar with fresh salads, hot meat & vegan options to mix & match. In general healthy food including desserts and gluten free options. Quite busy during weekday lunch. Really friendly and helpful staff. Good prices for the location close to main square. Free wifi. One of my fav places in Krakow :)

Ate lunch in the salad bar/café part of Chimera in a group of 4. Being tourists, we weren’t sure about how to ask for the salad plates, so we sat down and a kind young waiter offered to not only serve us at table, but spoke perfect English to us(he was probably glad to stop me from mangling his language any further!). Had the borscht to start with, served in a mug with some salad on the side, and then the meat pierogi. The food was tasty and served quickly and efficiently. Very good value for money, with a 2 course lunch for 4 plus drinks hitting around £20GBP. Very easy to find, just off Rynek Glowny, and was bustling with locals, so a good find — recommended for a quick lunch during sightseeing.

Excelente! Combina la comida polaca con un sinfín de productos vegetarianos. Platos abundantes, ambiente relajante y música en vivo. El precio normal entre los polacos y barato para los españoles. Recomendable.

Chimera is my go to healthy-food place in the Rynek. They have a lot to choose from the salads and yummy desserts. The ambience is really nice and staff are friendly. The Big plat(for 17 zł) is totally worth it when you are hungry and want to eat healthy. You can pick 6 portions(mix of salads and other dishes, 100 grams each). Occasionally(during the weekends) they live bands performing there. P. S. — Recommended if you want go for a pocket friendly date.

You have to be there between 1:30 — 2:30 or between 4:30−5;30 to get the best dishes. Before and after those times they produce little food. Great location, great outdoor atmosphere. Nice staff but it is obvious when the owner is there because the whole staff gets extremely stressed out and you can see it on their faces.

Instead of the salad bar upstairs, I have chosen to go downstairs to have a meal at the restaurant. The menu is typical polish dishes. I have ordered the white borsch. It is very nice, totally increase my appetite and prepare me for the goose beasts main course. It is served with cabbage & raisins. It is a very interesting combination of flavor. Decoration is a farm house look and service is very good for polish standard. Overall, I think it is a good traditional polish restaurant just off the main square.

The Salad bar Chimera in Kraków’s old town has a huge selection of different salads, a lot of them are vegan, and very, very tasty! It is located between the main market(rynek glowny) and the planty-greenbealt, in a covered yard, with lots of plants and daylight — a great atmosphere. You can have just one serving(100 gr) for 5 zl, a small place(4 servings, each 100g) for 13 zl or a big plate(6 servings) for 17 zl. You can choose from the wide range of salads, but you can also choose from warm(not too hot ;) vegetarian dishes, or meat. Besides there are available soups and other dishes, like pierogi. Even though I would like the place better if they didn’t serve meat(therefore I am a rare guest), I have to point out that the salads are amazing and offering a wide, vegan offer — my favorites are those with chickpeas(ciciorka) or soy beans with lentils(soja z soczewica) and beetroot with oranges(buraki).

Im Herbst und im Winter empfängt einen der Duft von Holzkohlen bereits im Treppenhaus. Die frischen Salate haben geschmacklich noch nie versagt und auch die Fleisch– und Fischgerichte sind unglaublich lecker. Die Atmosphäre ist ruhig und entspannt, die Menschen höflich und hilfsbereit und das auch in Zeiten, in denen das Chimera fast überquillt. Die Ofenkartoffeln, die man sich selbst aus dem Ofen holen kann, als Gratis-Beilage, finde ich eine feine Sache. Einfach weiter so!

Great location, very nice personnel, good food and reasonable prices. I was in the cellar part and had a typical Polish broth with dumplings(good) and rolled deer with sides(also all good). A nice place also for a romantic dinner. If the weather is nice and warm, the top salad bar looked really nice.

Interior with paintings, antique furniture and beautiful fabrics in a kind of «old Krakow» style, but very appealing and cosy. Perfect for candlelight dinner. And also the quality of the food and the service convinces. We realliy enjoyed our dinner there. Please be aware: In the cellar used to be a salad bar, which is now on the ground floor.

Le Chimera, la cantine de notre copine Magda. L’été, c’est la cour intérieure qui accueille le midi le resto végétarien. Le soir, c’est dans les caves que ça se passé. Si ma mémoiré est bonne et si rien n’a changé, la déco était théâtrale !

Nur durch Zufall entdeckt, da man von außen gar nicht sehen kann, was für ein wunderbares Lokal sich im Keller und im Hof versteckt. Es ist vegetarisch. Es gibt zwei Tellergrößen, und an einer langen Salatbar eine Riesenauswahl vegetarischer Speisen. Die überaus freundlichen und höflichen jungen Bediener hinter der Theke, legen einem dann so viel auf die jeweiligen Teller, wie drauf passt. Nach eigener Wahl natürlich. Man wünschte sich Geländer um die Teller. Alle Salate sind interessant angefertigt, frisch, knackig und köstlich. Dazu im Hintergrund noch sehr interessante Musik der nicht allzu verbreiteten Art. Von hier habe ich so manchen Musiktipp mitgenommen. Nie habe ich mich auf einer Reise in einem Kellergewölbe so wohl gefühlt wie hier.
