It's like an oversized polish lodge with black and white family photos, cupboards of china and Polish prints hanging. One room on the top deck even has small beds on either side for seats which was a nice quirky touch. There was live Klezmar music playing downstairs when we paid a visit which was entertaining! I imagine the food would be great too as it seems like a popular place to eat. A great place to stop by in Zakopane!

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!!!!

If you are looking for great hospitality, traditional Polish food, and a perfect atmosphere that…read morereflects this part of the country, this is the place for you. Don't forget that you're still just a tourist. The crew that works at Bąkowo Zohylina Niźnio are the best. They know how to be very personal and compassionate. Just remember to eat and drink a lot. I don't think any of the servers would mind if you want to take a few selfies with them. It's part of the show. Plus, if it makes you happy, why not?! Tip generously :). It's worth checking what time the live band is playing. Don't miss it. Definitely make a reservation. Especially on weekends and holidays. However, I wouldn't recommend visiting Zakopane on national holidays or in the summer months. It's just very crowded with visitors.

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.

At this point, after so many trips together, it has become our tradition to stop after arriving and before checking in to the hotel. I have to admit, they make really good ice cream. In general everything is fresh, looks delicious and tastes the same way. I always try to stick to just a cup of coffee, but eventually I have to try even little bit of some of the desserts avaiable. The fresh made waffels are a hit. We like them covered with ice cream, whipped cream and fruit sauce. The coffee is fine, nothing extraordinary but they serve it in pretty cups with little ginger cookies on the side. The menu is long with many different coffee options, desserts and alcoholic beverages. There's something for everyone to enjoy. The interior is nicely decorated with comfortable seats and no one will rush you to finish your treats. It's a very relaxing environment.
