email: kazimierz@szara.pl

Szara Kazimierz is an encore performance by the owners of the gracious Szara in the Main Square, and has come as a culinary ornament gracing the historic enclave of, of course, Kazimierz. Opened in 2006 in the neighborhood's most prominent square, it has already received Michelin Recommendation, and the comparisons to its elder counterpart have yielded but one answer -just as classy! The feel here is elegant as well, but with a tinge of informality, which fits well with the more relaxed attitudes of this arty bohemian district. Within its spacious venue the decor is tastefully reflective of the fact that the place promises to deliver the highest quality. Evidencing this further is the menu which is international in scope, has elements similar to the menu at its sister restaurant.
