Prowincja
About 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.
Effortlessly oozing the kind of warm, open atmosphere most places would kill for, its simply impossible not to feel at home here. Whether you're looking for a hideaway from the winter chill, or a place to relax to a background of soothing music after a hot summer's day strolling around the old town, Prowincja is the place to find it.
Getting a table can occasionally be difficult but there's usually room somewhere in one or the other of the two establishments. One final word of warning: the apple pie (szarlotka) is legendary throughout the city and sells accordingly, so get there before lunchtime to avoid disappointment

The hot chocolate is pretty much chocolate custard as far as I can make out - a love-it-or-loathe-it concoction!

true enough. most of the time i have to admit i'm in the 'love it' crowd, but i do have to go equipped with a bottle of water before buying it

yep, it's delicious but it really feels like eating several chocolate bars - but in liquid form

what with all this snow and general coldness, there's nowhere better to hide away with a grzaniec or two
