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...

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!

The warm lighting, cozy booths and tables gives an old library vibe. We had a couple hours to kill and the staff were really cool about us taking our time. Everything we had was delicious! The macchiato was made perfectly. The Zurek soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful. The mushroom and sauerkraut Pierogis were about the same as everywhere else, which was consistently good. We finished off with a nice vanilla ice cream, which came with soft cookies and blueberries. It looks like this place hosts events and shows as well. It'd be perfect for poetry slams.

This place is charming, cozy, and clearly a must-visit -- it was very busy with people waiting outside, which only confirmed how loved it is. I ordered the traditional pierogies (without meat), and they were absolutely delicious -- tender, comforting, and full of flavor. The cranberry sauce and mushroom sauce on the side were perfect pairings and really elevated the dish, adding a sweet and earthy balance to each bite. It felt like the kind of spot you seek out when traveling -- authentic, warm, and deeply satisfying. If you're a foodie or a visitor wanting to experience real Polish comfort food while in Warsaw, this is definitely a place you shouldn't miss. I'd happily return and highly recommend it!

The dim-lit ambiance, the dark wood accents and white tablecloth gives that formal yet cozy environment and with that, comes an exquisite menu that will leave you with a very pleasant and memorable experience. Reservations are highly recommended which I did have so check-in was a breeze. The waitress was very knowledgeable with the wine list and menu items which was extremely helpful when deciding among the various delicious sounding items on the menu. I heard that the Steak Tartare is a must here so I ordered that and to my delight, it's the best steak tartare I've had in all of Poland. It's prepared table-side from a very charismatic chef which added to the excitement and enjoyment of trying this tasty item. The Beef Wellington was also a delight. The buttery and slightly crisp puff pastry melts in your mouth along NG with the tender and juicy beef in which the demi-glace adds additional flavor to the already mouth-watering profile. Just pure gloriousness. The Bluefin Tuna was the final item I tried and the tender, fresh and scrumptious flavor of the tuna paired with the black truffle, avocado, artichoke and teriyaki sauce...so good. I unfortunately did not have enough room for dessert but wow I watched the items pass by me landing at other tables and I was so wanting to try one of them but not one single bite more of anything could've fit in my stomach. That's why there's always a next time :)

Service was good, efficiently and warm (and thankfully English was spoken). Three of us sampled: - Roast Pork knuckle: A large roasted chunk of pork, perfectly done and falling apart, so good. - Cheese platter: A selection of local cheeses, all very good. Served with a sprinkle of maraschino cherries on top, which was a little unexpected but fun. - Dumplings: We tried both of their options, meat and potato cheese. These were good and very filling. - Fried pork chop: Pounded thin and fried, man that was good. - Cole slaw: Purple cabbage, creamy dressing with a hint of horseradish I'd say. - Pickles: Large bowl of medium-small cucumbers, nice and crisp. Good food and a fun time, recommended if you're in the area.

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.
