Hello Friends of Partykrakow

Her indoors and I occasionally get away from office matters and go out to eat. Over the coming months, I’m planning to share with our Krakow stag groups the knowledge that I’ve gained during 9 years here. These are the “secrets” that truly make life in this city wonderful and the advice can take our stag members away from the beaten track and into the lesser known areas.

I also love cooking and will, form time to time, be posting foolproof recipes with which to calm down wives and girlfriends when you have sinned!

Limonova, as its name suggests (Spanish: lime tree), is a Mexican joint with a difference. Here you can forget the rather plastic Taco Mexicano chain idea and come to grips with an honest attempt at spicy Latin cooking. Limonova is tastefully appointed and serves a very good variety of superb dishes in genuine Mexican style, both indoors and al fresco in the very pretty walled garden. The level of chili is decided by the diner when he orders.

Look at what we ate tonight. Our 2 friends opted for sweet corn soup whist Katy and I took in the tomato job. Both soups were fantastic but if you want to try something really unusual on your stag party in Krakow, please try the corn. It’s yellow, sweet and smooth and a real rarity.

Never one for half measures, I elected for the super spicy version, whist the other, wiser diners took the medium. Things were going

really well until I bit into a bell pepper towards the end of the course. This engendered a coughing fit and oral agony – it was comforting that two of our group were experienced GPs and there assurances as to my probable survival were very welcome!

For the next course, we divided into 2 factions – them and us. They took an aptly named “volcano” which is a pot of well-seasoned meat in a good sauce shared between them. We opted for lightly spiced grilled butterfish on a bed of rice. All with salads and attractively presented side dishes.

Desserts took the form of lime sorbet, crème brulee and chocolate mousse with chilli. The whole lot was washed down with too many bottles of chilled chardonnay.

The price? I don’t know since I didn’t pay, but I’d guess around 15 GBP per person. So there we are, gentlemen, an ideal place to dine for a stag party in Krakow. Please remember, however, that the place closes at 11pm and this is a rarity which need not worry our intrepid Krakow stag party gourmet.

The restaurant is to be found in Kazimierz on Bozega Ciale street.
