Our guide
The Kazimierz quarter has filled up with cafes and restaurants that decorate themselves in Jewish nostalgia but aren't kosher at all - some of them even serve pork. The genuinely kosher places, under Rabbi Eliezer Gurary's supervision, like Szalom Falafel by the Isaac Synagogue, are the ones with a certificate posted at the door.
Our recommendations
- Base yourself in the historic Kazimierz district, home to the restored synagogues and the resident Chabad rabbi.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
