About this spot
Mateo is one of the best spots in Podgorze, Krakow. Polish food is hearty, generous, and ridiculously good value — the kind of meal that makes you want to take a nap afterward.
💡 Tips before you go
- Milk bars (bar mleczny) are socialist-era canteens — cheap, authentic, and an experience
- Pierogi ruskie (potato-cheese) are the essential Polish dumpling
- Polish vodka is world-class — try żubrówka (bison grass vodka) with apple juice
- Obwarzanek (ring-shaped bread) from street vendors in Krakow is the local bagel
