What a gem! I've traveled to Warsaw, Poland all my life, numerous times a year! It truly is a…read moresecret... The interior is mystical, with the dining rooms in the brick-walled basement. 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.

The food is amazing, from the fantastic pierogi's, excellent bigos and sublime roast venison in forest mushroom sauce. This is also authentic Polish fare, in a traditional Polish setting . The wait staff is pleasant and efficient. I go there every time I am in Warszawa (Warsaw)

Absolutely loved the food here!…read more My husband and I found this place on Yelp, and it was a short walk from our hotel so we tried it out and were not disappointed. 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.

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...

First time having authentic fried pierogis - wow! I highly recommend ordering the 9 piece assortment of pierogis or dumplings. I enjoyed their version of beef stew (great for dipping the side of bread!). Affordable prices, very friendly and fast service. I loved the house red wine, it paired great with our meal. Walking distance to many popular and fun bars, lounges, restaurants, and more. A gem that we stumbled upon - highly recommend if you are in Warsaw!

Delicious, classic Polish food and very friendly customer service…read more I was flying in to Poland from California and we planned to visit Chata Za Wsia on our way back from the airport. Before flying in I researched the place and decided on it. Unfortunately our flight was delay over 4h and I thought we won't make if before they close. But we did! Ladies accommodated us with smiles on their faces and food was simply divine! Maybe for a regular Polish people it is nothing special because they eat it often, but for someone who is coming from US once a year and can appreciate authenticity of Polish kitchen, it was really, really tasty :). Also a beautiful, relaxing location and great prices! I recommend it!

We said that was fine and he proceeded to seat us in a private balcony overlooking the outdoor garden tables. I had no idea why he sounded so apologetic when it was clearly an amazing located table! We had a direct view of the fountain. It felt like we were in one of those fancy private balcony you see at the theater. The prices were great for the level of service and food quality. 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.
