The restaurant is very cozy and tucked on Emily Plater street. We did not have reservation, and visited during lunch hours, but seating outside was not problem. However we were advised that reservation is usually needed. Staff was very nice and accommodated us immediately. The menu is short with some polish classics deconstructed in some way. We had : Tartare--it is a Polish staple and I must admit I can put it on my top list. Very delicate, brilliantly combined with all the toppings. You can feel the quality of the meat on the first bite. Marinated Herring--with soured milk was another delicious dish that made our experience a pleasure one. Served on baked potatoes were a great starter without argument. Sour Cucumber Soup--another dish famous for Polish cuisine. Nice deconstruction with horseradish and smoked trout was very interesting. Deer Pate--served with young beets, currants, home mayo and bread, served with homemade bread. All the good things ready to spread on the fresh bread. They also have good selection of wine and craft local beers. I wish we could try more menu items and I believe they would be as good as everything that we had tried. I am happy that I could try your food Mr. Andrzej Polan. Od samego poczatku chcielismy odwiedzic to miejsce podczas pobytu w Warszawie. Jestesmy fanami 'Dziendobry TVN" gdzie szef Andrzej Polan czesto gosci. Restauracja jest przytulna prawie schowana na ul Emilii Plater. Odwiedzilismy to miesce podczas lunchu nie majac rezerwacji, ale posadzenie nas na zewnatrz nie bylo zadnym problemem. Kelner oznajmil nam ze z reguly rezerwacje sa potrzebne. Ekipa ktora tam pracuje jest bardzo mila i szybko zostalismy posadzeni przy stoliku. Menu jest krotkie i zawiera klasyki polskiej kuchni z lekka dekonstrukcja. Zamowilismy nastepujaco: Tatar--polska klasyka i musze przyznac ze moglbym to danie umiescic na gorze listy tatarow ktore mialem przyjemnosc jesc w restauracjach. Bardzo delikatny, super polaczenie z dodatkami. Od razu bylo mozna wyczuc jakosc miesa po pierwszym kesie. Marynowany Sledz--serwowany z kwasnym mlekiem byl kolejnym smacznym daniem, ktore sprawilo ze nasz pobyt byl milym przezyciem. Serwowane na pieczonym ziemniaku byly swietna przystawka bez dwoch zdan. Zupa ogorkowa--kolejne danie znane w polskiej kuchni. Fajna dekonstrukcja podania z chrzanem i wedzonym pstragiem byla bardzo interesujaca. Pasztet z Jelenia--serwowany z mlodymi buraczkami, porzeczkami, majonezem i swojskim chlebem. Wszystkie pyszne rzeczy gotowe do posmarowania na swiezy chleb. Polana Smakow ma rowniez dobra selekcje win i piw rzemieslniczych. Zaluje ze nie moglismy sprobowac wiecej pozycji z menu gdyz jestem przekonanyz, ze wszystko bylo by rownie smaczne. Jestesmy bardzo zadowoleni ,ze moglismy sprobowac tego jedzenia panie Andrzeju.

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...

Upon entering, you'll see the extensive menu on the wall. Fortunately, it's translated in English and the staff that takes your order at the cash register booth speaks some English as well. Once you order, they give you a buzzer to let you know when it's ready for pick up at the kitchen window. My husband and I ordered a couple bottled fruit beverages, an espresso, mushroom and sauerkraut pierogis, a side of cream spinach and blueberry and apricot pancakes for 53 PLN or about $15 US! The quality didn't compare to the Michelin Star, Muzealna, we had the day before, but we appreciated the simplicity of our last meal before leaving Poland. The women's uniforms in the kitchen and how they serve food through the window is reminiscent of the communist era. In fact, the design of the restaurant makes one feel as if they're in a mess hall during that time. There are a few tables outside as well.

Some of the older reviews cite a complicated experience with potential language issues, but that's absolutely not the case now. The wall menu has English translations, you order and pay on entering, and are given a beeper to take to your table and wait for you to be summoned to pick up your food. Basically, like any fast-casual dining experience anywhere in the modern world. It's all very cheap, and it's a good way to try a sampling of Polish dishes. However, while the food is tasty and likely authentic, ingredient quality is understandably so-so (for instance, the popular veal schnitzel is made of a pressed/formed meat patty, as opposed to an actual slice of veal). For me, it's the kind of thing you do once, but then look for better quality versions of the dishes in one of the many good restaurants around town.

I came directly from Gdansk in a delayed train so I rushed straight here to make my reservation. With my roller luggage and all. They thankfully had a convenient coat check where they were able to store my luggage. Now as for the food, wow on all fronts. I ordered the Chicken Soup, Marinated Herring, Steak Tartare, Lamb Shank and a Meringue Pie. I just had to try everything! And sure glad I did. I don't usually like lamb but this dish came highly recommended. Ive only liked lamb on a few occasions so it was a gamble and in this rare situation, I won. The gaminess of the lamb was very subtle and the flavor combined with the potato puree and marinade was delicious. The steak tartare was prepared table side and the chef asks if you want it normal, mild, or spicy. I opted for spicy which I felt wasn't any spice but nonetheless, a very tasty steak tartare. The marinated herring was so enjoyable as well. The fish was tender and the citrus profile of the sauce was a fantastic complement to the dish. The Chicken Soup was as good as chicken soup could be. Warm and savory. And finally the dessert. The fluffy meringue pie was very good as well but after a few bites, the sweetness got to me. Still a good dish though but more geared towards those with a real sweet tooth.
