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 Polish sausage and sauerkraut is delicious. The sausage is cooked well; crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauerkraut is not overly sour with great seasoning.

While visiting Warsaw, I made sure to stop at Zapiecek Polskie Pierogarnie, and it was everything…read moreyou'd want from a classic Polish food experience. 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 setting was lovely, the service was pretty good, and everyone was enjoying their evening. We ordered the goat cheese and berry salad. The goat cheese is a large slice, not crumbles, as I am used to in the States. It's a wonderful meal; don't be surprised if you get full because of the cheese. In all of Stare Miasto in Warsaw, this was the only place that sold Gołąbki with Veal (Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)! It was great to have one of my favorite meals without the pork option! The tomato sauce was delicious, and the portion was wonderful. Rosół was also ordered; it's a broth soup with dumplings, and that was thoroughly enjoyed. There were two servers out on the patio, and they were very attentive and working very hard. Wonderful service, great food, and lovely atmosphere.

This is one of those restaurants that I'd recommend to friends traveling in the area, and would go back to myself should I ever be in Warsaw again. Consider this your "I had a friend who ate there once" recommendation. Atmosphere is cozy and modern, staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and spoke excellent English, since we embarrassingly only know please & thank you in Polish. As a bonus, their menu indicates which items are gluten-free, which is almost unheard of in these parts. Plus, they try to source local ingredients as often as they can, and have these locations printed on the menu as well.

Fun to watch them make the pierogies out in view in the restaurant. These are a basic lunch, but still, very Polish just the same. Fresh and real. No packaged and warmed stuff here.

My husband had the chicken livers and tripe (flaki) soup and he loved both. Everything looked wonderful! They were always busy and the servers were always on it.

There's a salad area, though it's less extensive than the US version; still the same ridiculous Jell-O though. There are hot foods, including various meats, cooked cabbage, stuffed mushrooms, and the like. My husband complained about the lack of a soft serve ice cream station, but you can't beat a made-to-order crepe station. Those babies were huge and delicious, and the crepe-making-man was incredibly kind, making sure (once he heard my poorly-pronounced request) that I knew all the filling options. Just like at home, the table service is for drinks. We came on a day that they were having a beer special: a giant stein that was hard to lift for some ridiculously low price. And it came with a pretzel! And, in European fashion, they expect you to linger, so you could probably have 4-meals' worth. Total price for 2 buffets (including 2 crepes the size of my head) and 2 drinks? About $30.
