After
a long break, Fussy gets back to her blog. The break from writing
didn't mean a break from going to restaurants and cafés so in the
near future you can expect a few new, interesting entries. In the
meantime my professional and personal life's undergone a lot of
changes, for example we've become happy owners of a very cute dog.
That's why I've added a new label marking the places in which animals
are welcome.
One of
such dog-friendly places is a wine bar and restaurant Klimaty
Południa ("Ambience of the South"). We discovered it soon
after moving to Kraków, when we went with our friend to drink some
Beaujolais nouveau. We missed the Beaujolais Nouveau Day, which
always falls on the third Thursday of November, but luckily we
managed to buy one of the last bottles available in the wine bar. We
were sitting in a cosy, little room, relishing the taste of the young
wine and eating cheese and appetizer
board. Yummy. :)
And
last month my friend, dog and I went for a warming, winter dinner. We
sat near the crackling fireplace, which - despite a glass door
separating us from the direct fire - created a warm, snug ambiance.
The walls are hung with winemaking posters and a collection of
corkscrews,
reminding of the restaurant's main function. For a starter we got
some bread with cottage cheese spread. It was a nice touch, even
though the spread would have tasted better with brown bread or
baguette. I ordered seafood tagliatelle with white wine sauce (PLN
24) and even though the seafood had been frozen the whole dish tasted
delicious. Jul had some baked bream with grilled vegetables and she was
also happy with her meal. We ate so much that we couldn't even think
of a dessert, which doesn't happen very often.
I
like Klimaty Południa mostly for its warm (even in the middle of
winter) ambiance and numerous culinary and visual references to the
Mediterranean culture. Friendly waitresses not only provided us with
delicious food, but also took care of my dog, who received a
decorative bowl full of clean water. The restaurant is a perfect
place for a date or a meeting with friends accompanied by a glass of
good wine, especially during long, winter nights.
