The theme of this small bistro, newly opened on Plac Szczepanski, is journalism, making it an appropriate place for Krakow Post editors to take their lunch. The food is unlikely to be short-listed for any Michelin stars, and the decor couldn’t have cost much more than Ebeneezer Scrooge’s Christmas party, but with nalesniki weighing in at 5-6 PLN, what else could one expect? I opted for a tasty banana and chocolate crepe, which I carried on a tray to the “mezzanine level,” a place where tabletops are printed with leaves from La Repubblica and the Wall Street Journal, and black and white photos of Parisian street urchins help fulfil the bistro brief. Meanwhile Nina Simone injected some vitality to the otherwise uninspiring sight of Plac Szczepanski on a grey day, and portable fans helped to diffuse the scent of fresh paint.
