If you can't afford to stay in Warsaw's sumptuous Hotel Bristol, that certainly doesn't preclude you from enjoying their wonderful ground-floor cafe overlooking a park in the centre of the city. Located just minutes from the Old Town, this historic meeting place (opened in 1901) is a great place to have breakfast (09:00-12:00), a light meal, or coffee and cake served in the tradition of the finest pre-war Viennese coffeehouses. The classic interiors are the perfect place to read the paper and slow time down until it's merely a triviality.
