Ariel (Szeroka 18)
Longer established of the two Ariel restaurants. Decent food, drink and ambience, but you're paying for the setting and live music.

High Synagogue
Synagoga Wysoka
Called "high" because the prayer room is on the second floor (this is the only example of that kind in Poland). Third synagogue built in Kazimierz, in Renaissance style. It's in bad condition, but conservators are working on the building. It is open to public and sometimes hosts photo exhibitions.
