Another grown-up option, this suave bar is hidden away in a courtyard off Bracka street. With velvet banquettes and little alcoves, it’s run by the wonderfully congenial Grzegorz Cieplinski. He’s friends with actors and musicians, and there are jazz evenings, poetry readings and other one-offs. Food’s good too.

Camelot is perhaps the most fashionable café in Cracow. It’s a romantic place, full of candles, quirky folk art and unusual historical paraphernalia (letters by Poland’s Renaissance monarchs can be spotted on the walls). They have also just [open]ed a gallery upstairs, and the cellars host concerts – everything from tango to Jewish klezmer. Packed at night with couples and cheerful groups.

You’ll find this bar above the exclusive Cyrano de Bergerac restaurant – and it’s run by the same woman. Le Fumoir is a perfect spot for an after-dinner drink, and the kind of place where you could round off a deal over a cigar. It has loads of character, with 19th-century wooden ceilings and striking art-deco furniture.

Another cosy option, popular with Cracow’s cultural intellegencia, this is the new big sister of one of Cracow’s favou-rite cafés (the tiny Prowincja next door).

Not the most Polish place in town décor-wise, but this is nevertheless a smart, lively bar that’s popular with expats as well as Polish yuppies. A good range of cocktails and snacks are available.
