I was impressed and vaguely perturbed to walk into Charlotte Menora to find that the Menora theme was ubiquitous throughout: The Jewry seemed to be The Brand of Charlotte Menora. This seemed to be effectuated also by means of the menu--which included supposed ashkenazi specialties such as The Pastrami Sandwich on a Bajgiel and The Goose Liver Pâté on Toasted Chała. However, Charlotte Menora also boasts the menu of the regular Charlotte cafés located elsewhere in Warsaw and several other cities of Poland. The food was mediocre--hence the three stars. The "Śniadanie Charlotte" was decent, although it remains unclear why this remains All The Rage in Greater Poland. Unlike other locations, here you are presented with an assortment of spreads--truskawkowka, czekoladowa biała, czekoladowa czarna--and an assortment of bread slices, including a singular croissant. The breads and spreads are good, but, I'm sorry, what makes them special? Can I not walk into any bakery or any Biedronka and get something comparable? Now, now, now. As for the pastrami sandwich on a bajgiel. The bagel was fine. The pastrami was edible although somewhat subpar in flavor and texture. And low in quantity. The sandwich overall was a small meal. A very small meal. Although for a price of 11 zł, it was reasonable. The "Śniadanie Charlotte", on the other hand, was 18 entire złote. Ask yourself now: Is white bread in itself a substantial and nutritious and filling and wholesome meal? If the answer is yes, you may find yourself and your body deeply enamored with the foods of Charlotte Menora. I'm not really sure how the Jew theme fits in. The whole idea of a Jew themed restaurant in a place with little to no human relation to the jewry of the world is vaguely problematic. But I'll choose to ignore this. I would be willing to return to another Charlotte location, but the Menora was subpar. The petite chałki did look moist and glutenous, though. But I didn't try, so I'm not sure if it's a TRICK. read more

Food was good. The basket of bread was good. I got the dinde (turkey sandwich with cranberry spread). It was good but for the price, it's not filling. I also got orange and rose polish donut (packi). Forgive my spelling. These were smaller in size and the orange had more zest than the traditional polish variety while the rose had more pungent. Both of which is not typical polish but I assume it is "french influenced polish donut". If that makes any sense. I do like the flower pedals on top. read more

This is another location of famous Charlotte Cafe on plac Zbawiecela, so the concept ist more or less the same. Atmosphere is not as cosy as in the spot on plac Hipstera because its more spacious, what makes it less crowded or less long waiting for free spots. I really like the plac Grzybowski and I'm looking forward to sit outside, but the outside seating didn't seem as nice at the original place. The service is a bit unstructured, unattetnitve and confusing. There are several waiters, taking order, bringing food, bringing the bill, so no clear responsibility. It took quite some time to place orders, or get the menues. Nevertheless its kind of Charlotte style and its super crowded on weekends, there is room for improvement. read more

Nice place, good breakfast, friendly staff. Recommend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow this place was the worst restaurant I went to in all of Europe. We sat down and when we finally got our waiters attention we ordered and my friends food came out very quickly while I was still waiting for a soft boiled egg. 30 minutes pass. Our waiter is disappeared and we couldn't get anyone's attention. I finally went up to ask about my single egg and they told me the kitchen staff was being trained which was a complete lie. We waited another 15 minutes or so and I finally gave up. I went to the front and we just paid for what they had actually given us. The food we actually received was totally fine but when I have to wait over 50 minutes for one damn egg that is just not okay. read more

A long wait, but it was worth it. The breakfast was fabulous. We were seated at the community table, and the unfortunate seating was breaking up our group. This place is so busy, so take your good time. This is not for people in the hurry. read more

A charming place ruined by indifferent and incompetent service. The waitress mostly ignored us - after 45 minutes of waiting for a glass of wine I ordered for our guest I finally went inside to ask what was going on, only to be told that "she will bring it when she is ready" (sic!). I asked to speak to the manager and was told that there wasn't any. I finally ended carrying the glass of wine that was sitting on the service counter out myself for our friend. Twilight zone. read more

While the food and beverage is perfectly fine, service at this location is awful. Visited on a Thursday evening at 7.30pm. Found an empty table outside pretty quick - it still had dirty dishes on it from the previous customer and we waited about 10 minutes to get it cleared out by waitress. Then it took another 10 minutes to bring out the menus and another 30 to take our initial order. At that time, we were also informed by our waitress that multiple dishes from the menu were are not available after 8pm. She seemed pretty bothered that we asked for soup of the day and made it sound in her snappy response like "who eats soup after 8 anyway?" Quite disappointed, we proceeded with our Plan B for food choices. Then the real waiting game started: 20 minutes for drinks, then another 30 for food. After we were done eating, it was 9.30pm and the outside area was being cleared out for the night. We asked for a check, add another 20 minutes. I do not recommend this location for lack of service. read more
