The Nosh

Carpathian Mountains

LoginSave

The Nosh is the first kosher cafe to open in Tarnów for 70 years, since the murder of the town's 25,000 Jewish citizens. Increasing interest in the homelands of European Jewry has seen more Jews return, some to stay. This wonderful little cafe, offering excellent coffee and cake, falafel, bagels with lox, salad and more is a landmark in this development.

The Nosh doubles as an art gallery, selling the paintings of the late Mina Nath, a Tarnów local who survived the Holocaust, and objects such as bronze casts of mezuzah taken from the doorways of murdered Jews.
