Nova Resto Bar is a contemporary restaurant on Estery Street in Kazimierz, Kraków’s former Jewish quarter, steps from Plac Nowy. Its glass-roofed conservatory, Modigliani-inspired artwork and globe-trotting menu draw diners looking for a relaxed, art-filled place to linger over a meal in the city’s liveliest dining district.
Inside, elongated faces and almond-eyed portraits in the style of Amedeo Modigliani line the walls, giving the dining room a gallery feel. The conservatory is the room regulars request most: daylight pours through the glass, plants soften the space, and it stays comfortable for long lunches even in cooler months. Daily newspapers sit out for guests, which suits slow mornings with coffee. The menu ranges well beyond Polish staples into international dishes, so mixed groups can share a table without compromise. The 4.4 rating from diners reflects consistent food and an easygoing atmosphere suited to catch-ups and celebrations.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekday lunchtimes and early afternoons are the calmest. Kazimierz fills up on Friday and Saturday evenings, especially in summer, so reserve ahead if you want a conservatory table. Larger groups should book in advance. Plac Nowy, with its round market hall and famous zapiekanka stalls, is around the corner, and Szeroka Street with the Remuh and Old synagogues is a short walk away. Trams along Starowiślna and Miodowa streets stop within a few minutes’ walk. Hours can change seasonally, so confirm current opening times before you visit.
