3Old Town · Tram: Poczta Główna
The take. One of the city's most reviewed steakhouses, a reliable pick for house-aged steaks a minute from the Rynek. The score is a little lower than the Kazimierz branch, so go with steaks rather than experiments.
4Kazimierz · Tram: Miodowa
The take. Pick a steak from the Argentine Campo beef and pair it with something from the wine list, which is one of the stronger ones in Kazimierz. Monday to Wednesday it opens only at 16:00.
Old Town · Tram: Plac Wszystkich Świętych
The take. Bring company and order the dry-aged tomahawk, the house speciality cooked over open fire. It stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, which helps on a late night in the Old Town.
6Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica
The take. Same Argentine grill as on Stolarska, usually a touch calmer, so it suits a long dinner before drinks in Kazimierz. Open daily from noon to 23:00.
7Old Town · Tram: Stary Kleparz
The take. Go for the dry-aged Polish rib-eye or, with a group, the porterhouse or tomahawk sold by weight. Reviews mention uneven service on busy nights, so book and say how you want the meat done.
8Kazimierz · Tram: Miodowa
The take. Better rated than its Old Town sibling and set right on Szeroka, so it is a good choice for a steak dinner in Kazimierz. Tables go fast, the group itself jokes about running out of them, so reserve.
9Old Town · Tram: Teatr Bagatela
The take. Order a steakboard to share, around 1.2 to 1.6 kg of beef with sides that you finish to taste on a hot lava stone. Weekdays it opens only at 15:00.
10Podgórze · Tram: Korona
The take. The highest Google score on this list, though from fewer reviews than the rest. Order a few plates for the table and a steak to share, and combine it with a walk across the footbridge from Kazimierz.
