RESTAURANT REVIEW: Downtown Restaurant & Steakhouse
Date: 29 November 2011
Riley Leech ...
Life for me feels like Groundhog Day at times; the same questions from the same people, over and over again. And really, if I had one little groszik for each time I was asked where the best steak in town was, I'd be there right now, drooling on the Charoluxe while glugging back the wine. The place? Downtown. It's easy to berate the steak in Warsaw, and it's true, at times it feels the bad places thrive while the good go under: NoBo, Rodeo Drive, Villa Rossini, Argentina. All, at one time or other, have fenced for my affections as Warsaw's top steak, and yet none have survived to this point in time. So get this, it appears Warsaw has finally discovered her appetite for meat. Now some would point to the launch of Butchery & Wine as evidence of this. Personally, however, I'm hailing Downtown as the definitive exhibit in the Great Steak Debate...
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Restauracja "PIEC"

Located perfectly between the popular shopping area of Nowy Swiat and the charms of Warsaw Old Town is a very special traditional Polish restaurant; the type of place where the locals like to eat because the food is of the highest quality and the atmosphere is homely, friendly and well! - traditionally Polish!Unlike some polish restaurants in and around the Old Town, Restauracja "PIEC" is traditional without being OTT on the Polish theme or OTT on the price!
RESTAURANT REVIEW: London Steak House

As the contribution made by England to the world of gastronomy is limited at best, the wisdom of opening a restaurant themed round little England is questionable at best. Given that England is not known for good steak, opening an ‘English’ restaurant which specialises in steak is getting on for foolhardy. The best English food is the Great British breakfast: unfortunately the fried breakfast I had at the London Steak House was indescribably appalling. You might well get a better meal by rooting round the rubbish bins outside Macdonalds. But some of the concierges at the better hotels (i.e. people whose job it is to know where in town does good food) have been heard to say that this place serves some of the finest steaks in town.
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Samira

While Le Cedre over the river in Praga has firmly established itself as Warsaw’s premier Lebanese restaurant, Samira has come a long long way since it first started out. Back in the early days it was just a Porta-Cabin hidden at the end of a track along what looked like the local mafia’s favourite dumping ground for bodies. That rickety shack of old has been replaced by a solid stone structure, although you can still wonder how many runners-up in underworld boardroom battles are buried next to the muddy potholed road which leads you there. The best thing that can be said about the décor is that it’s mainly attached to the wall; you really wouldn’t want that stuff to follow you home. Fortunately the precarious uncomfortable old chairs have been replaced: now you can sink into rather nice armchairs as you dine.
