Advantages: Excellent Lebanese cuisine served in an exotic restaurant Disadvantages: None whatsoever
Le Cedre is without any doubt my favourite restaurant in Warsaw. However, it does not serve Polish cuisine but Lebanese. This restaurant is located next door to the Praski Hotel. It is in down town Praga, a district of Warsaw that was run down but is now turning a little Bohemian.
Le Cedre is just over the bridge from the Old Town, past the first set of traffic lights by the river on Solidarnosci Avenue. No 61 to be precise. You can catch a tram or a bus from the city centre or even walk from the Old Town. When you step into this restaurant you are immediately transported into the Middle East. The recently re-furbished decor is enchanting giving the whole restauarant an oriental ambiance. You could be in Damascus not in Warsaw as the rustic colours of the walls, soft furnishings in silks and tapestries, traditional music and water ...
Advantages: Fascinating history, clean, beautiful monuments, reasonable prices, vibrant Disadvantages: Number of drunks

Warsaw is the capital of Poland, in Central Europe. Poland has suffered from its neighbours throughout its history, and Warsaw is the classic symbol of this, having been reduced to a heap of rubble by the vengeful Nazis in 1944. Today it is the thriving capital of a member state of the European Union (Poland joined on 1 May 2004), a city of around 2m people on the banks of the Vistula river, benefiting from the transition from Communism to a market economy to such an extent that its GDP is 137% of the EU average (the average figure for the UK is 123% to give a benchmark).

Advantages: Clean, comfy and central Disadvantages: The odd niggle
Back in early March 2006 we were in Warsaw celebrating my birthday, and had booked in to the Radisson SAS Centrum Hotel.
We had made the booking a month earlier after trawling through various websites, comparing Warsaw's four and five star hotels, their locations, facilities and, most importantly, their prices. We chose the Radisson for the following reasons; it was central, had a swimming pool, and breakfast was included in the price which, at £177 for three nights, was around half the price of the Marriott, which is reputed to be the best hotel in town.
The Radisson is situated in Ul. Grzybowska just off Al. Jana Pawla II, one of the main North - South throughways through central Warsaw. It is a three minute walk from the nearest tram stop and around five minutes from the nearest Metro station, Swietokrzyska, which itself is ...
