This cafe is a part of Restauracja Pod Kopcem, but it has a separate menu, kitchen and a bar. it is open only during warmer months, as it is an outdoor place, located on a terrace -on top of one of the old fortifications surrounding the Kosciuszko Mound.
The place has stunning views (hence the name: Panorama) and it makes a great destination for a snack/comfort food/ice cream/coffee or a pint stop while hiking in Lasek Wolski or climbing the Mound itself.
the cafe offers some nice desserts, specialty coffees, ice cream and lemonade made on premises, it also has a good selection of bottled beer and soft drinks. there are some simple dishes on the menu as well - French fries with cheddar cheese for example - a great meal for somebody who spent a few hours exploring the forests area around the Kosciuszko Mound.
My only complaint is that the cafe appears to be understaffed - there is usually only one server behind the bar and only one person working in the kitchen - which makes a waiting time longer when the cafe gets crowded - which happen a lot during sunny summer days and on the weekends, but it probably isn't a problem during slower times or on weekdays. If I may, I would suggest the management to fork out some money and to hire more staff. The young lady who works in the cafe today was very swift and capable but she definitely would use some help. By then I would recommend ordering simple items like soft drinks or beer to avoid waiting.
the cafe is definitely worth of visiting for its ambience and breathtaking views. lots of tables, and plenty of umbrellas provide shade. A great place to spend some time outdoors in summer or on a warmer spring or fall unbrellas (it was even open today - November 1st! - which was wonderful as the weather was surprisingly warm). a real gem indeed! read more
