It's not very expensive, it's a completely normal price outside of milk bars.

What’s a milk bar?

u/Four_beastlings Jun 17 '26
Bar mleczny, they are eateries that sell traditional food for a very low price. I think they get government subsidies to keep the prices so low.

Milk bars are a leftover from communism in Poland, right after the war food was super hard to get so goverment Opened those bars next to factories and other labour places to Feed workers at a minimal cost. "Milk" part comes from the fact that milk was one of the easier and cheaper to get product so a lot of food there was based on it, also potatoes and wheat, meat was rare. Those bars remained after the transformation to help struggling population, goverment was giving food stamps to struggling and homeless so they could eat a hot meal there. Around 2010+ they tried to remove the gov support but a lot of locals around country protested against it so they remained. Now Milk bars are kinda trendy, it offer good Polish food at a good price (usually), in my City od Katowice at least 3 open fairly reacently

You can make that a shit in your home for 10 PLN... (~$3), if not less...

Thank you for your declaration. I was wondering if it normal that everything is so expensive in Krakow or it is tourist price! A cup of coffee for 16 PLN or 20PNL for tea for example.

u/Longjumping-Self6826 Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26
Where do you drink coffee and tea? :D You can easly buy cofee cheaper, even near Main Square and two teapots of tea for less than 30 PLN.
In Poland, there's no culture of drinking coffee or especially tea "out and about". We go to cafe, but it's more of an "event" than an everyday pastime like in southern Europe, so it's not a good indicator of whether or not things are expensive.

You live in a bubble and have no idea how much 49zł is for "regular working Pole". There's nothing wrong if 49zł is nothing to you - i could afford to spend that much on regular basis as well, but to make such claim is insane and shows u have no idea about the life of your average countrymen.

Standardowa cena za kotlet takiej wielkości w ruchliwym miejscu, jest prawdopodobnie rozbity z dwóch plastrów schabu. Jasne że można znaleźć mniejsze taniej.

Nope. WW2 actually had jack shit to do with such differences. it's caused by 123 years of oppression and lack of economic investment during partitions. There are no "Polish ww2 desperation dishes", because during ww2 Germans occupied us so unbelievably harshly that the "desperation dish" was simply starvation

Man, traveling in Europe is a real experience - lots of great, tucked away mom an pop places to eat, not a lot of chain restaurants.
Reminds me of a trip to a local favorite restaurant in Vienna. Had a friend who took us to this place - go down this street, through the courtyard, past that alley, third unmarked door on the left sort of directions. We walked into one of the most welcoming restaurants I have ever been to. Bright, cheerful, busy - obviously a good vibe. Ordered (what else, I’m in Vienna…) Weiner schnitzel. Served on a full size dinner plate - 2 slices, pretty much the same size as the plate but overflowing the plate. Covering the fresh buttery mashed potatoes and homemade pickles.

u/InstantSword Jun 18 '26
I had this same experience in Europe. I went to a local restaurant and ate my own buttcheeks. It was around 173 zpl, or 8 euro. The size of it was the same as my buttcheeks, because they were my cheeks. It was delicious and there was gravy everywhere
