Bistro Bene Krakow
(Not only) breakfast at its finest
When I'm craving breakfast, I try to look for a spot that offers a variety of options to eat in the morning. One of the places I go back to frequently is Bistro Bene, located two minutes from the Main Square. This restaurant attracts many, thanks to excellent food, the casual atmosphere and nice staff.
There are actually two restaurants under the same roof, run by Tomasz Leśniak. Bistro Bene is focused on breakfasts and lunches, with a relaxed, city vibe. Nota Resto is more elegant, yet modern local, which is a part of the Michelin Guide, but today we're talking about the first one.
No matter if you seek filling or light breakfast, you're going to find your perfect match here. Are you a fan of savoury tastes? Avocado toast, English breakfast or fried eggs with a bagel are just a few examples of plates you can choose. If you have a sweet tooth, Bistro Bene also has your back. Crepes with liqueur, waffles with seasonal fruits or smoothie bowls are waiting for you. And if you prefer a fit meal, you can order one of the "benefit" breakfasts and forget about counting calories.
Besides breakfasts, which are served until 12:30, you can also try pizza, burgers and more.
Not convinced yet? Although this spot might seem like a fancy, expensive one, you can try top-notch quality meals on a budget. From Monday to Friday, you can order a coffee and pay just 1zł for the breakfast - excellent, right?
