What
country do you associate with love? For me, it's definitely France –
French culture, French language and most of all, French food. That's
why before upcoming Valentine's Day I've prepared for you my
subjective ranking of the best French restaurants in Kraków. When
you click on the subheadings, you'll be able to read full reviews of
each of the restaurants. Cracovie, je t'aime! :)
Pros: a tasteful interior inspired by the film “Amélie,” nice, free snack before the meal, delicious onion soup
Cons: ill-mannered service, fried snails soaked in fat
Address: Józefińska 2, Kraków (Podgórze)
Website: http://zakladkabistro.pl/
Pros: tasty, seasonal salads, delicious fondant au chocolat (cake filled with melted chocolate), a small shop with French specialities
Cons: stark interior, small portions, mediocre coffee
Address: św. Tomasza 25, Kraków (Old Town)
Website: www.lapetitefrance.pl
Pros: breakfast served until midnight, delicious sandwiches, lovely coffee
Cons: bread in croque-monsieur wasn't very crunchy, the restaurant can get sometimes crowded
Address: Plac Szczepański, Kraków (Old Town)
Website: www.bistrocharlotte.com
Pros: delicious foie gras, nice service, very good quiche
Cons: uncomfortable chairs, mediocre onion soup
Address: Józefa 34, Kraków (Kazimierz)

Please
note that all of the above restaurants are very popular so you
should book a table in advance, especially on the Valentine's Day! :)
But
if you're staying at home that night, you can watch one of my most
beloved films, “Amélie,” and read my post about French food in this film: FILM AMÉLIE – HOW FOOD CONNECTS KIND PEOPLE.
And
for dessert, one of my favourite French songs about love. It's neither Edith Piaf nor Jacques Brel (even though I adore them as well) –
but controversial Carla Bruni. Hope you'll enjoy her sexy voice! :)
