It's always a puzzle where to take your other half for Valentine's Day, Women's Day, Men's Day or just a regular date! Krakow is known for crowded places, so it's hard to talk in private. However, if you're tired of preparing dinner at home and want a quiet romantic place – we have 5 restaurants to offer you. No need to worry about cooking, book a table and voila! Of course, we can't guarantee complete privacy, but these places feel cozy and comfortable, where it's easy to relax.
Boscaiola

This Italian restaurant is located right in the center and pleases the eye with its atmospheric cellar, stone walls and high ceiling. This place is perfect for starting the evening with antipasti and a glass of prosecco. Keep in mind that waiting for a hot dish usually takes 30 minutes. The restaurant is also suitable for larger groups for special occasions.
Address: Szewska 10
Opening hours: daily 10 – 23

Padre
This Mediterranean restaurant has a long history. It offers three types of rooms in a charming cellar, each of which can be reserved for special celebrations. This place is a bit hidden if you don't know about it and is located in an old tenement house next to the Planty. We recommend baked camembert and duck fillet – these are our favorite dishes for a romantic and quiet evening ✨
Address: Wiślna 11
Opening hours: 13 – 22

Pino Garden



In the category of best garden, this place could take first place. A real olive tree in the middle of the terrace – why not? The space is full of plants creating an oasis of peace in the city center. The restaurant is surrounded by beautiful views, namely Błonia. We chose halloumi salad, mushroom pasta, Parma pizza and house wine – finger-licking good!
Address: na Błoniach 7
Opening hours: Monday – Thursday 13 – 22, Friday – Saturday 12 – 23, Sunday 12 – 22.

Nago Sushi & Sake

If you're looking for something less typical, maybe it's worth looking in the direction of Asian cuisine? Tom yam, seafood in tempura, ramen or a sushi set – you'll find all of this in this aesthetic place. We definitely like the interior – minimalist and stylish. For warming up, we recommend trying Japanese sake. On their website you can find this funny quote:
Celebrate the moments spent with sake, because without it – as the Japanese say – even a cherry blossom looks ordinary.
Address: Gertrudy 7
Opening hours: Monday – Thursday 15 – 23, Friday – Saturday 13 – 24, Sunday 13 – 22.

Nova Resto Bar


The place is located in Kazimierz and offers cuisine from different parts of the world. They have both amazing #breakfasts and dinners. Modern interior, soft sofas, long bar – what more could you ask for? Our choice is pappardelle with shrimp and tuna steak.
Address: Estery 18
Opening hours: 9 – 24, Friday – Saturday 9 – 02.
