We sat outside which was a great little courtyard covered by umbrellas for the days sun & heat. We got mixed perogies (this is the only place we've been that lets you order multiple kinds on one plate, half roasted duck and Golabki (meatballs rolled inside cabbage). Perogies were fresh and tasty with spinach/cheese being our favorite. Other offers were potato and cheese, and meat. You can get either mushroom sauce or tomato sauce on the Golabki and I was so torn my waitress brought me both so I could compare. The mushroom sauce was delicious on its own but I enjoyed the tomato sauce more with the Golabki which is filled with meat and rice. (This is definitely a smaller dish than some other menu items with only two Golabki being served). The half roast duck was a large portion of food with potatoes. Duck was moist and tender but my husband who fancies himself a duck snob didn't like the preparation. This is going to be more of a Peking duck style of dish then French sear and serve rare. The children's breaded chicken was some of the best breaded chicken I have ever eaten. If you bring a kid force them to order that and then eat half of it hahaha! It appeared that the most popular item there was their duck burgers as I saw many a plate of that pass by our table. I would venture back to give one of those a try!

This Polish restaurant featured duck and that's what brought me in…read more I arrived for a late lunch without a reservation but was seated immediately. There were two rooms and I sat in the long one (the ceiling arc reminded me of a tunnel for some reason) with the duck mural. The menu contained lots of Polish dishes and a dedicated duck section. A duck and pickles appetizer was served gratis. It spread easily on the accompanying slices of bread and was nice. I've not had duck presented like this before and when I piled a couple of the smaller pickle pieces on top the tartness added more complexity for the flavors. I'd order this if it was on their menu. Zurek soup tasted a little tangy and was filled with sausage, mushroom, potatoes plus a whole egg and was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but all the different ingredients made for an enjoyable bowl. The bread bowl also contributed by thickening the soup as it abosrbed the broth. The duck breast with smoked plum sauce was thick, cooked medium and very tender. There was a little too much sauce for me but I liked the different taste. The side of glazed carrots and peas had a hint of sweetness and completed the dish along with the potato gnocchi. Service overall was good and efficient. Would return.

I would say Poland definitely is and has a world class soup culture, they take soups very seriously there. The mushroom soup I had was like no other I've ever had anywhere absolutely phenomenal!!

The staff are all very friendly and professional and have in depth knowledge of the menu. This was particularly helpful when trying to understand some of the menu that I was unfamiliar with. We ended up ordering one order of their meat pierogis and one order of their cheese and potato pierogis. They gave a portion of 10 pierogis and they were very filling. We also got their żurek and barszcz soups and all were super flavorful and light. Overall this place is a solid spot and I would come back.

Also, there was a pianist playing holiday music among other notable tunes. Being here myself, it was nice to listen to. I ordered the pork chop, breaded and fried, with roasted potatoes. I also got a hot ginger beer. It's not the soda we have in the States - it's actually a beer with ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and clove. Since it's beer based, it's a little out of my comfort zone. I would normally like something like this if it were non-alcoholic and sweeter but it grew on me as I drank it. The pork chop was really good - very basic, comfort meal. There are a lot of choices in Krakow but since I just arrived and was hungry, I stopped in as I knew they had good food.

EXTRAORDINARY! INVOLVING LOCATION, DELIGHTFUL FOOD... AND GOOD PRICE…read more Simply extraordinary: no other world can be used to define my experience here. I was in Zakopane in those days. And I spent an Afternoon inside Tatra National Park in Kuznice. Suggested by AI "Copilot", I turned to this Karczma, which I reached after a 1,8 km walk. The place is suggestive: wooden structure, wooden furniture, soft lighting with candles. In short, a place where one feels like staying and dwelling. Also the welcoming is agreeable, without invadence, in perfect Polish style, but warm. Live Goranco Music completed the plot. Karczma 's menu is an invite to local mountain kitchen, perfect after a walk. I chose with the help of Artificial Intelligence, a really remarkable travel mate for me. And I decided for a "Placek Zbójnicki", "Highlander Potato Fritters" in English, a spectacular dish with potatoes, Oscipek (a smoked cheese from Tatra), beef goulash and pickled cucumber A delightful and really tasty dish. But Polish cakes are delightful: and I couldn't resist from taking a Sernik, typical Polish Cheesecake, served with fruit and ice cream. Delightful. I accompanied all with a tea with dried apple, cranberries (served apart, in a small bowl , to be added after some minutes) and cloves. Perfect for such a dinner. I dwelled for awhile in the atmosphere of the place, until closing time. Lulled by the place and its beauty, and by the Music. The bill was 119 Zloty, about 27 Euros. For a spectacular dinner. For ne really inexpensive, also considering the prices of other countries, where this price wouldn't have been enough just for the main dish. By closing, a really delightful experience in a really agreeable and involving (and wrapping) place, with delightful food, delightful and agreeable service and a good price. Impossible to refrain from suggesting this place! Location: 5/5. Service: 5/5 Menu: 5/5 Quality/Peace ratio: 4/5

One of the best Polish regional restaurants in Zakopane!!…read more Karczma przy Młynie is located a little bit outside of the main town/main street of Zakopane, only 5 minutes away by car. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, the decor is very typical for the mountain region in Poland. Great heavy wooden tables and chairs, wood burning stoves, fireplaces, stone walls. Everything we ate in Karczma was delicious and the portions absolutely satisfying! We tried couple different dishes including potatoes, sausages, goulash, potato pancakes with mushroom sauce! Yum! - take a look at the pictures I uploaded :) The service was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Karczma przy Mlynie for your lunch or dinner when you're visiting beautiful Zakopane!
