This visit was a huge disappointment. The famous Telimena turned into a franchise with "trendy' mismatched furniture and take-away style food. (No complaints about the coffee or the food which was tasty and fresh - it is, after all, difficult to find bad food anywhere...in Poland).
Given that it is located right on the Warsaw's "Royal Mile", I would have expected any refurbishment or new owners to reflect and respect the years of this place's tradition. Instead, just another Green Cafe Nero usurping the famous name. Popular with students, but has lost all its atmosphere. Won't be back... unless the owners engage a good interior designer and try again. (Despite the ever-present cigarette smoke, the place looked more stylish in the 1970's...)More
