I did not look at reviews or anything else, sometimes a place just sings to you and this place had a soprano like an Operatic singer from beginning to end. I cannot imagine where the crescendo ends and begins because this place is buzzing with activity. Hats off to ALL the staff because every single woman, and I say that because I never saw a "male" servant the entire time, for running around up/down the small 2nd level balcony seating with plates o'plenty. I can say this because I had a birds eye view right next to the "fireplace" which is near the staircase. Hands-down, this is the best Pierogi Ruski I have ever had. I even dissected it to see where the flavors began and ended and it looked all the same!! I am floored and in awe of the cook here or "cooks." Thank you. I drove here from Krakow to Zapilnie to Zacopane and we landed here for dinner and you did not disappoint in ANY aspect. Your service - 10 stars Your food and wait time - 10 stars Your flavor and drinks - 11 stars Quite honestly, this is and will always be "my place" to go when I am in Zacopane, now I understand the wait out the door. We passed it once for this reason and kept walking and then we circled back to see if the line was gone. We were asked to wait maybe "2mins" at most at the door and these ladies took great care. During our 2 hour time here, I saw a lot which impressed me. I wish all service met this level. The staff travel up and down stairs with trays all day and they maintain this positive level of service. On top of this, the decor and music is excellent. I adore this place and will be back for Christmas. Dziekuje! Thank you!!!!

Clearly, this was a great spot to come for lunch on our day trip to Zachopane. We were on a tour…read morethat took us through multiple areas and landed here and enjoyed the area [as much as we could seeing we were on a very tight schedule.] This is a beautiful restaurant located just minutes from the finicula we took to the mountain top. It is a lovely shop with very comfortable decorations and furniture. I loved the multiple fireplaces and their outdoor seating was ample and comfortable. Thee was local music playing the whole time and continued to male for a very pleasant experience. We (there were three of us) ordered a nice lunch as we had been out for a while. The staff is dressed in a periodic clothing and everyone was extremely helpful and attentive. They easily earned the five stars. Not sure whyt anyone would give them two... Our lunch consisted of: -Chicken soup -Burger and Fries -Veal cutlet with a fried egg on top -Pirogies with apple and cinnamon I will say in a blanket statement that everyone truly enjoyed their meal and we all commented about the freshness and taste. I had the veal and tried my wife's pirogies. I enjoyed the change from meat, cheese and mushroom to the apple and cinnamon. Overall this spot is highly recommended if you visit Zakopane.

We started our meal with sheep cheese and cranberry sauce. A local meal that you will find in all of the restaurants here. We ended up ordering potato pancakes and meat goulash. The goulash was sandwiched between the potato cakes. For dessert we had a cheesecake topped with chocolate. It was delicious and paired well with a warm cup of coffee. We enjoyed the local music group composed of 4 string players. They performed a variety of songs from slow to fast paced renditions and it really was a treat. Great place and we hope to be back!

The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, the decor is very typical for the mountain region in Poland. Great heavy wooden tables and chairs, wood burning stoves, fireplaces, stone walls. Everything we ate in Karczma was delicious and the portions absolutely satisfying! We tried couple different dishes including potatoes, sausages, goulash, potato pancakes with mushroom sauce! Yum! - take a look at the pictures I uploaded :) The service was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Karczma przy Mlynie for your lunch or dinner when you're visiting beautiful Zakopane!

That alone makes this place awesome. Easy parking, the building makes you feel like you're in 16th century with dinner by candlelight only, it was hard to read the menu because candlelight is dim but part of the fun and experience. The bacon salad, soup, and pierogis were amazing. Then the village sausage and baked potato with garlic sauce for an entrée, all were done exceptionally well and tasty plus they came out fast. This was my first try at authentic polish food, or what I like to believe is authentic polish food and it was all amazing! Go to this place.

I really enjoyed Stek Chalupa and you could tell it was a popular spot. I had read about it in a…read moreguidebook and marked it down as a possibility to go to when in Zakopane. When I arrived, I went into town for dinner on my own. I walked on Krupowki Street to check out other spots and there were plenty of choices, but none seemed as lively or as popular as Stek Chalupa. It has indoor and outdoor (with blankets) seating. I got a table inside and didn't realize at the time that I would have a front-row seat to hear some local folk musicians who were on break when I arrived. The menu was extensive and there was a lot to choose from. After a full day of traveling, my eyes were bigger than my stomach - thankfully my waitress told me she thought my order was too big and steered me toward two of my three items. I'm so glad she did as it was the perfect amount of food and really nice options. I had the "highlander potato pancake" which was a stone baked potato pancake that came with garlic butter or local sheep's milk cheese as accompaniments. I preferred the cheese and while these weren't the traditional sort of potato pancakes I grew up eating from my grandmother, they were quite good. The pierogis themselves were outstanding - maybe the best I had while in Poland (and trust me, I had a LOT of them!). I washed them both down with a Polish beer. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the service was attentive and helpful. Prices were great for the quality and quantity of the food. I would definitely return to Stek Chalupa if I ever have the privilege of returning to Zakopane.
