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.

However, it's seemingly lost that edge, and is now firmly on the "New Polish" trend. Don't get me wrong though, it's still extraordinarily good, so well worth the going. It's just that it no longer has that crazy creative edge that Baron brought to Solec 44 and thence Zoni. A loss for sure, but I'll still come back !

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!

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.

Our colleagues, translator and guide, was from Poland, but no Warsaw. So we happen upon Zapiecek, and we're not disappointed. It was an almost 11pm when we decided it was time to find some food on this work trip and first time to Poland. So I wanted something of local taste. So my colleague suggested the pierogi. 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...

My husband had the sirloin steak and raved about it. Service was excellent and courteous.

This was a great choice for good, solid Polish food in a welcoming environment.

We were lucky enough to get sat at a table pretty quickly but it was kinda in the middle of where the waiters were passing and the table was small. Which I'm not complaining at all. I was just happy they were able to accommodate us. The tables have an actual candle giving it a very romantic vibe. Our waiter was extremely nice and made us feel very welcomed. After taking our order he came over with a plate of complimentary sauerkraut and pickles. The pickles were extremely crisp and had an incredible mustardy flavor. The sauerkraut was also very fresh and could be eaten all by itself. The food came shortly after. We got a bowl of zurek soup in a pot and it was amazing. The soup had a beautiful almost citrusy taste with sausage and egg. We also got the pork knuckle that comes fried with a salad, french fries and a basket of bread. It's also served with sauerkraut plus horseradish and mustard to dip. Honestly the pork knuckle was so flavorful I didn't feel the sauces were necessary. It is huge!! I recommend getting the smaller size because the waiter offered us 2 sizes and I mistakenly went for the larger one. We couldn't finish all of it! But the food is amazing! There was also some musicians that walked in playing some music which was really nice. They walked around the restaurant. We also go their homemade lemon vodka and it was delicious. It was almost frosted and really refreshing. When we were walking out the door, we were shocked with the crowd of people waiting to get inside. So definitely make your reservations!!
