Pimiento

Pimiento is a restaurant at ul. Stolarska 6 in Kraków's Old Town, on a street just off the Main Market Square. The kitchen combines Hungarian-inflected dishes with Polish classics, an approach that reflects the long shared culinary history of Central Europe. Signature dishes include Hungarian goulash, a paprika-rich beef stew, as well as duck leg and pierogi, with soups, pork and poultry mains and desserts such as pancakes or cheesecake completing the menu. The cooking is generous and traditional, intended for diners who want hearty comfort food without the higher prices of a Market Square address, and it is not chef-led or Michelin-listed. The dining room is cosy and warm, with traditional furnishings and subdued lighting, and the mood is relaxed and unhurried. Noise is moderate, with a more lively atmosphere on weekend evenings. There is no strict dress code, and smart casual is typical. The beverage list includes Polish and Hungarian-style wines, beer and spirits, and soft drinks and coffee are also available. Prices are mid-range, roughly 55-110 PLN per person. Reservations are advised for dinner, and booking a day or two ahead is normally enough, although busy periods such as summer weekends and the Christmas season may require more notice. Lunch is often easier to arrange without a booking. The restaurant opens around noon and serves until late evening. Its position on Stolarska, a short walk from the Rynek and the Planty, makes it practical for a meal between sightseeing stops. For visitors to Kraków in Lesser Poland, Pimiento offers a variation on the usual Polish menu, with goulash and paprika-led flavours alongside pierogi and duck.
