If like me your not satisfied until you have to unfasten your belt, open a few extra buttons on your shirt and must to retire to dark room for a very long sit down, post meal, then this is the section for you...and what's more all the restaurants featured not only offer big portions of great grub, they are also all relatively cheap. Enjoy!
1. Podwale - http://www.podwale25.pl/
Located in the centre of the Old town, Podwale is an enormous Bavarian style restaurant, which is a strictly canivores only eating establishment. With excessively large portions of traditonal meaty fare, home brewed beer, cheap prices, food that arrives on fire and an umpa band, what more could you ask for if your looking for the ultimate in fine 'budget' dining? Favourite dish - The officer's selection of grilled meats.
2. Co Tu - Ul. Nowy Swiat 26/28
An institution in Warsaw, this Vietnamese cafe/take-away is located among the myriad of bars in 'Pawilony'. Not only do they serve great food but they do it extremely quickly. Always packed to the rafters with a variety of clientele, from high class business people to penniless students, this is must visit place on the Warsaw food map. Favourite dish - Beef on a hot plate.
3. Namaste Indian - http://www.namasteindia.pl/
A popular place among Brits, Indians and Poles alike, Namasta Indian may not quite take the title of 'the best Indian restaurant in Warsaw', but it unquestionably offers the best value for money. There are two restaurants, one in the Old town and the other just a few streets away from Centrum Metro Station. For the 'real' Indian experience I recommend the central location which doubles up as a mini-shop. If you sit near the produce for sale, expect the waitress to think nothing of leaning across you mid-meal to grab a packet of cumin off the shelf. Favourite dish - Samosas (they're just like back home)
4. Toan Pho - Ul. Chimielnej 5/7
One of the only restaurants in Warsaw were you can get authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this wonderful little place originally gained its reputation in the legendary 'Stadion' market over on the other side of the river. Now situated on the centrally located Chimielnej street, it is the perfect place to get a big bowl of piping hot food that will be prepared in double quick time right before your eyes. Favourite dish - Pho.
5. Jeffs - http://www.jeffs.pl/
Food buffs out there might bawk at the idea that this place makes it into the top five but 'Jeffs', a sister establishment of Podwale, but with a cheesy American feel, has a pretty big menu and serves big portions of diner style food. Favourtie dish - English Breakfast (it's 12zl!).
