Very old-style and homey Polish interior: flower-printed table cloths, candles, wooden chairs, and very majestic, castle-inspired furniture and decor. Our waiter was more than just polite. He never turned his back at us when leaving our table, but instead backed away slowly and out, which made us feel royal. At start, he served us an appetizer on the house: a Polish traditional food called "szmalec." We then ordered a couple traditional Polish foods. They serve most Polish dishes. The food was amazing, and as I usually request, he made sure my dish was gluten free. I had the deer ragout, which was delightful. My friend tried the Polish beet soup and dumplings filled with ground meat. At the end, our waiter served us two glasses each of two different liqueurs commonly drunk in Poland. We had wine to the meals. The check ended in around 180 Polish zlotys, which equals around $57. I highly recommend this secret place. Even though it won't be such a secret for very long then.

Our colleagues, translator and guide, was from Poland, but no Warsaw. So we happen upon Zapiecek, and we're not disappointed. It was an almost 11pm when we decided it was time to find some food on this work trip and first time to Poland. So I wanted something of local taste. So my colleague suggested the pierogi. Now forgive me for not remembering the fillings, or the sauce, but the memories of just enjoying the flavors is still with me that I tried to find similar taste here in the States and have not found a place yet. From what I remember the staff were friendly and the setting was quiet and comfortable. So I do have fond memories of dining at Zapiecek, and would go again. So enjoy...

The interior was warm and charming, and the menu was extensive. I had the spinach and goat cheese pierogis, with a bowl of borscht and my goodness, was my meal delicious! My husband had the sirloin steak and raved about it. Service was excellent and courteous. Although the prices might seem a little high, with the exchange rate what it was during our visit, we really couldn't complain. This was a great choice for good, solid Polish food in a welcoming environment.

Later, as we were walking down the stairs, we noticed the walls were lined with photos of the owner with famous people such as Angela Merkel, the Dali Lama and many more. This was a "hidden" gem in Warsaw since it isn't near the main tourist attractions.

I came directly from Gdansk in a delayed train so I rushed straight here to make my reservation. With my roller luggage and all. They thankfully had a convenient coat check where they were able to store my luggage. Now as for the food, wow on all fronts. I ordered the Chicken Soup, Marinated Herring, Steak Tartare, Lamb Shank and a Meringue Pie. I just had to try everything! And sure glad I did. I don't usually like lamb but this dish came highly recommended. Ive only liked lamb on a few occasions so it was a gamble and in this rare situation, I won. The gaminess of the lamb was very subtle and the flavor combined with the potato puree and marinade was delicious. The steak tartare was prepared table side and the chef asks if you want it normal, mild, or spicy. I opted for spicy which I felt wasn't any spice but nonetheless, a very tasty steak tartare. The marinated herring was so enjoyable as well. The fish was tender and the citrus profile of the sauce was a fantastic complement to the dish. The Chicken Soup was as good as chicken soup could be. Warm and savory. And finally the dessert. The fluffy meringue pie was very good as well but after a few bites, the sweetness got to me. Still a good dish though but more geared towards those with a real sweet tooth.

I had no idea what to expect but was absolutely amazed. This is a beautiful little Polish restaurant with a very rustic decor that serves some very traditional styles of Polish food. But the great thing is, it's attached into a horse stable business where while you eat you can directly into the training arena for the horses under a large roof. Then afterwards you can walk around and see the stables and areas where the horses are kept, trained and very well cared for. We started with some type of traditional Polish soup which was amazing and then I had some type of pork cutlets in gravy over a grainy like barely sort of thing which told was from corn and was very healthy and very Polish. Plus there was a little salad bar area where you could fix a bowl of this really tasty cabbage salad with veggies and marinated beet root. Finding this place is not the easiest as it's down a long gravel very rutted out road. But totally worth finding and I was grateful for the experience.
