Where I eat in Krakow: Sylwia Ładyga

For breakfast: Ranny Ptaszek

For breakfast I happily pop in to Ranny Ptaszek – the heavenly food and convivial atmosphere make me coming back for more.

For coffee and date: Nowa Prowincja

For years I have been going for coffee to Nowa Prowincja on Bracka Street since I was in school. I do not even mind the crowds. The place is packed until late at night! Prowincja serves up my favourite hot chocolate. Real, creamy and full of calories - I adore it! In the summer I enjoy stopping at Tajemniczy Ogród in Kazimierz - their frozen latte with ice cream is pure bliss! Both Nowa Prowincja and Tajemniczy Ogród are also a good choice for a date!

For Sunday lunch: my mother's place

I have not yet found a favourite place for Sunday lunch in Krakow. Maybe because I am still so fond of family lunches prepared by my mother.

For an evening get-together: Dolnych Młynów

The bars at Dolnych Młynów definitely top everything else! For a quick snack, pints with friends, chit-chat and a football game! In my view, it is one of the coolest hang-outs in Krakow and hopefully will not disappear off the map.

A dish I strongly associate with Krakow: ravioli in Nolio

It is not very typical of Krakow nor very Polish, but it is one of those dishes that totally won me over. Even though it is no longer on the menu, the memories are still vivid and etched in my heart: ravioli with lamb from Nolio. Served with genuine Italian ricotta and superb condiments - this is where my adventure with Italian cuisine really started. I pine for them and keep my fingers crossed that they come back on the menu.

For a good cake: Wesoła

It probably comes as no surprise because it is one of the busiest and most popular cafes around. And even though I hardly ever buy desserts because I prefer to make them myself, I always enjoy the guilty pleasure of a cheeky cheesecake at Wesoła.
