Meaning, 'Between Us' in English, this cafe bar is a hidden gem in the hustle and bustle of central Warsaw. Full of local arty types, this is a mixed bar (meaning gay and straight friendly - OK, just friendly!) that appeals to folk of all ages and nationalities. It really gives visitors an insight into the cool and prosperous side of Poland. Lush.

Cafe Blikle on Nowy Swiat is a wonderfully, traditional cafe. The interior is smart with wood panelling, green walls, a big copper coffee pot and interesting curved lights.

The atmosphere is a mixture of conversation and contemplation, a good place to catch up with friends, debate and discuss but also somewhere to catch up with oneself, sit idly and read or simply watch people come and go.

The fare on offer includes a selection of teas, coffees (including liqueur coffees such as Honey Coffee with Krupnik and Cream and Cafe Bourbon with rum and cream) and other drinks, hot meals, snacks and a delicious tempting array of pastries and cakes (Chocolate Torte, Sweet Custard Slice with Flaky Pastry) which will set your mouth watering.

The idea of Polish traditional food is not exactly enough to get the palate racing, but these dumplings are superbly tasty and come with a choice of sauces each as deliciously fattening as the last. A good place to try them is in a little Pierogeria just off the square in the Old Town. Windows steamed up from conversation and hot dumplings, hang up your coat on a hook and sit down for a treat.

Location: Half a block from the Old Town Square, heading north.
Address: 14 Oraz ul. Krzkywe Kolo 30.

The Foksal is full of restaurants and bars, but this cafe was pleasantly uncommercial. There's a list of drinks and dishes on a board and you order at the counter. The prices are very reasonable and the waitresses are helpful and charming.

If you prefer to feel younger than the other patrons, then this is the best place to go. What Sacher is for the Viennese, this is the Warsaw establishment for creamy cakes and classic coffee.

An institution, the cafe was the centre of Radio Free Europe in communist times and the decor has stayed that way. Nontheless, busy, popular and worth visiting for its friendly and quick service. Vodka selection extensive, food looked a bit pre-fall of wall.

Be careful you don't get tangled up in the lacy tablecloths and stumble into an antique laden table, especially when you are wearing layers of bulky clothing.

This also makes a visit to the toilet a risky venture too, but worth the effort.

Good hot tea and cakes.
