A couple of weeks ago Terje came home from work and offered me a small yellow piece of paper with just one work written on, Wierzynek.
"What is this?" I asked.
"The name of the best restaurant in Krakow" Terje replied. "There is a man from POland in my office and he told me this is a place we must visit."
I had alreday booked a table for our first night at another "must visit" restaurant, which I hope to write about later, and was not quite sure how many nights I wanted to book even before leaving Norway. But terje looked so eager, so happy. I googled Wierzynek, and started to change my mind. yes, this was surely a place I would love to visit. A couple of nights later I wrote an email to the restaurant, giving them a link to my blog, telling that we would visit Krakow and Poland for the first time and wondered if they could tell us about their menue, may be recommend some food. Already the next morning an email was waiting in my inbox; "Dear Mrs. Lindland. We will be very pleased to have you as our guests. We will book a table for you and also please accept........." and then followed a very generous offer.
Saturday night, our last night in Krakow, came almost too fast. We found ourselves in Wierzynek and were taken to the very best table in the restaurant, with a view right across the Market Square and to the Maria Church and the tower with the trumpeter.
Let me quite from what Wierzynek write about themselves:
We invite you to a magical place, that will charm you with its atmosphere and history........At Wierzynek you can try the very best of polish cuisine......Wierzunek is also frequented by Polish as well as international celebritis among others........
We had an unforgettable night. The waitress all smiloes and hospitality, the food superb, the atmosphere romantic. Many of the other tables in the room where we sat were filled with Finish men. No women. After several bottles of wine, glasses of beer, vodka and probably alot of other fluids, a couple of the men set their eyes on me, as the only woman in the room. But they soon realised that The Only Man for me was the one right across my table :-)
A song is making itself up in my heart these days. The words go like this:
How lovely life is when you love and are loved!
