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 local cheese and meat starter was tasty and abundant. The pork cheeks special was flawless. Service was helpful, friendly, and polite although very busy. The ambience was very authentic for Zakopane -- rustic, mountainous, woodsy, natural.

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.

For a casual and quick meal of classic Polish cuisine, we chose Milk Bar Nowatorska 4. I thought it…read morewas a great find. I will definitely be back for more when I visit Zakopane again. It is family and budget friendly, as well as for the hungry who want to avoid all the waiting staff etc. associated with eating out. We wanted to eat something before catching the bus back to Kraków. ... and we ate too much :). The portions were more than generous. Possibly I could order half of my pierogi, not sure. I have nothing else to add. We had a great meal. My companion's crepes with farmer cheese, fruits and real whipped cream were out of this world. Plus, it was a really clean place. We liked it a lot.

We'd decided to eat here since it was so close to our apartment. It's on the quieter side of…read moreZakopane, away from the bustling town. It looks like a drive by fast food place. - A large ornate Polish house with neon signs saying 'open' and 'pizza.' So we were surprised when we walked into a relaxed restaurant, which although quiet, was atmospheric with soft backlighting, a large, well stocked bar and friendly, welcoming service. They serve Polish dishes but we went for pizza since we felt that the flashing sign on the door called for it! It was large and tasty. - Very fresh! So big I had to take a few slices home with me, which they happily gave me a box for! They have outdoor tables and even a small children's play area. And it's good value for money! So not what we expected! A very pleasant surprise! We even stayed for a few wisniówkas (cherry vodka!) after dinner!

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!!!!

Downstairs was beautiful next time I will go directly to the basement way more candles :)

We called ahead and reserved for 5 for 9:15 they said okay, upon arriving one waitress was not having it. We told her that we called and reserved and just sat down as it wasn't busy. Couple eye rolls from miss grumpy pants and she was gone to the back for the rest of the night. Our other waitress was very cool and friendly and gave us respect and a smile unlike the other girl who was just to lazy to serve our table or 5. We started off with a bottle of red wine and then got our appetizers. Started with the shrimp and arugula in a cream garlic sauce. They were supposed to be tiger shrimp but they were just little normal shrimp bit of a let down but still good. Next was the chicken Cesar not bad but they used ice berg and didn't chop up the chicken and left the stems on the tomatoes. The Parmesan cheese flakes were good tho. Boyfriends salmon was a mess... big mess. Vegetables over cooked, salmon not cooked enough and the sauce was all wrong. They tried to make it fancy and ruined it. Gnocchi and the pasta with mushrooms were sooooo good. I liked this place will I return? Maybe the summer

We were glad that we made reservation as place was packed. On the menu they note that it might take up to 40 minutes to prepare meals but time flies fast in casa Mia. As a free starter we got salmon with strawberries sauce - very good combination. Black tiger prawns with chilli and garlic were so delicious that we forgot to take picture. Both main dishes: duck and carbonara were very tasty. We also got amazing dessert. Service is vey professional and always ready to help. All of it makes great, cozy atmosphere - which was acknowledged by couple next table who chose this place for proposal. How to best recommend this place- we went back there next morning for breakfast and it was delicious too.

The decor of wood-crafted figures is also eye catching and seems traditional, characterful, and quaint. The service is also exceptional, with English speaking young waiters always at polite beckoning. The system is that you chose your trout preparation style from among a large list of menu options. They will prepare the perfect, fresh brook trout with your choice of topping (E.G. wine sauce, horseradish, etc). You'll also order a potato done in your preferred style: whether baked, sauteed etc. Meanwhile as you wait for the freshly prepared fish, you can load up your plate at the buffet of sides which includes the mayo- or sour-cream-soaked cucumber salad, pickled beets, pickled cabbage and dill sauces. It's a delectable way to start what will undoubtedly be a wonderful trout dinner experience. The waiters are quick to make suggestions about the style of toppings, but I got a basic white wine/garlic type sauce. The food was especially delicious when seated on their patio which is atop a local cold mountain brook that fords the town. It's totally charming.
