Places to go in Krakow #3: Prowincja

A true Krakow icon, Prowincja and its offshoot next door Nowa Prowincja, have been providing locals and tourists with light lunches, coffee, cake, hot chocolate (the ultra-thick variety seemingly designed to make you more thirsty) and the occasional alcoholic beverage for many a year now and the appeal shows no sign of lessening. They are the twin cylinders of the ul. Bracka coffeehouse engine.

Two peas in a pod- Prowincja nearest the camera, and Nowa Prowincja the other side of the doorway to Cafe Bracka and Pergamin

Places to go in Krakow #2: Domowe Przysmaki

Dangerously situated just across the street from the all-conquering ‘U Babci Maliny’ on ul. Slawkowska (the full address is Slawkowska 24a- not far from the sw. Marka church- you don’t really want to try pronouncing the name to ask for directions!), this little place is left to pick up the scraps of the slightly-more-adventurous-tourists-and-occasional-Pole trade selling traditional Polish fare.

Now featuring summer outdoor seating area!

Places to go in Krakow #1: Bagelmama

No longer a candidate for smallest restaurant in Kazimierz/Krakow/the world, having relocated to ul. Dajwor near the Galicja Jewish Museum, but not much else has changed since i first visited Bagelmama nigh on 5 years ago.
Regardless of Bagelmama’s physical attributes, the important thing here is the food; whether it be a quick snack bagel or a more substantial Mexican inspired meal, Bagelmama simply cannot be outdone. Generous folk that they are, they even let you choose how hot (or not) you want your food, should you go down the Tex-Mex route.
