During my stay in Zakopane, I really wanted to eat dinner in a highlander's inn. I chose Zapiecek on Krup贸wki Street. This inn has 9,000 reviews on Google, mostly positive. I had to wait in the queue in front of the entrance, because apart from me, there were a lot of people willing to enter the restaurant. Fortunately, there are plenty of seats in the inn and I think I didn't wait 10 minutes and I managed to get inside. I was delighted with the decor of Zakopane's Zapiecek. The interior looked like a traditional highlander's cottage. Many of its features were wooden, including tables and seating. At the ceiling in the middle of the largest room hung a huge wooden sled, which may have once been used for sleigh rides.
Podczas pobytu w Zakopanem bardzo chcia艂am zje艣膰 obiad w g贸ralskiej karczmie. Wybra艂am Zapiecek na Krup贸wkach. Ta karczma ma 9000 opini na Google, w wi臋kszo艣ci pozytywne. Musia艂am poczeka膰 w kolejce przed wej艣ciem, bo opr贸cz mnie by艂o sporo os贸b ch臋tnych, 偶eby wej艣膰 do restauracji. Na szcz臋艣cie w karczmie jest du偶o miejsc i my艣l臋, 偶e nie czeka艂am 10minut i ju偶 uda艂o mi si臋 wej艣膰 do 艣rodka. Zachwyci艂 mnie wystr贸j zakopia艅skiego Zapiecka. Wn臋trze wygl膮da艂o jak tradycyjna g贸ralska chata. Wiele jego element贸w by艂o drewnianych, w tym sto艂y i miejsca do siedzenia. Przy suficie na 艣rodku najwi臋kszej sali wisia艂y ogromne drewniane sanie, kt贸re by膰 mo偶e kiedy艣 by艂y wykorzystywane do kulig贸w.
There was a festive atmosphere in the inn. There was still a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, as well as other Christmas decorations, such as long branches of conifers decorated with glowing colored lights. When I was inside, a nice waiter, dressed in a traditional highland costume, approached me and showed me my place. It was upstairs. It was perfect. With a view of what is happening in the inn, from above, and at the same time, providing a lot of privacy.
W karczmie czu膰 by艂o 艣wi膮teczn膮 atmosfer臋. Wci膮偶 znajdowa艂a si臋 tam pi臋knie przystrojona choinka, a tak偶e inne 艣wi膮teczne ozdoby, np. d艂ugie ga艂臋zie iglak贸w ozdobione 艣wiec膮cymi kolorowymi lampkami. Gdy by艂am w 艣rodku podszed艂 do mnie mi艂y kelner, ubrany w tradycyjny g贸ralski str贸j i wskaza艂 mi moje miejsce. Znajdowa艂o si臋 na g贸rze. By艂o idealne. Z widokiem na to co si臋 dzieje w karczmie, z g贸ry, a zarazem na uboczu, zapewniaj膮ce du偶o prywatno艣ci.
The menu was very interesting and regional. You could order highlander dishes, such as sour soup, dumplings with sheep cheese, moskol (i.e. a highlander pancake made of boiled potatoes baked on a baking sheet) with boletus sauce and grated sheep cheese, or lamb stew with ha艂uski (potato noodles) and pickled cucumber, and to drink, for example, a 40% Highlander Burning 馃槈. I chose traditional dumplings with potato and cottage cheese stuffing.
Menu by艂o bardzo ciekawe i regionalne. Mo偶na by艂o zam贸wi膰 g贸ralskie dania, jak zup臋 kwa艣nic臋, pierogi z bryndz膮, moskol (czyli g贸ralski placek z gotowanych ziemniak贸w upieczonych na blasze) z sosem borowikowym i startym oscypkiem, czy gulasz jagni臋cy z ha艂uskami i og贸rkiem kiszonym, a do picia np. 40% drink G贸ralska Przypalanka 馃槈. Ja wybra艂am ruskie pierogi.
I waited about 10 minutes for dumplings. That time passed quickly. Traditional highlander music was playing from the loudspeakers in the inn. In many taverns, highlander bands perform in the evening. I saw from above that there was a queue of people willing to have dinner in this place all the time in front of the entrance to the inn.
Na piero偶ki czeka艂am ok.10 minut. Ten czas szybko mi min膮艂. Z g艂o艣nik贸w w karczmie lecia艂a tradycyjna g贸ralska muzyka. W Wielu karczmach, w godzinach wieczornych wyst臋puj膮 kapele g贸ralskie. Widzia艂am z g贸ry, 偶e ca艂y czas przed wej艣ciem do knajpy ustawia艂a si臋 kolejka ludzi, ch臋tnych na obiad w tym miejscu.
The dumplings were delicious. Certainly one of the best I've eaten in my life, so the crowds in front of this inn don't come out of nowhere. The dough was tender and the stuffing was well seasoned and very tasty. The crackers were also good. All served on a nice plate with a blue leaf pattern. It felt very homely. If someone wants to eat something very tasty and good quality in Zakopane, I definitely recommend this inn.
Pierogi by艂y przepyszne. Na pewno jedne z najlepszych jakie jad艂am w moim 偶yciu, wi臋c t艂umy przed t膮 karczm膮 nie bior膮 si臋 znik膮d. Ciasto by艂o delikatne, a farsz dobrze doprawiony i bardzo smaczny. Skwarki te偶 niez艂e. Aa ca艂o艣膰 podana na fajnym talerzu w niebieski wz贸r w listki. Mo偶na si臋 by艂o poczu膰 bardzo swojsko. Jak kto艣 chce zje艣膰 co艣 dobrego w Zakopanem, zdecydowanie polecam t臋 karczm臋.
