Restauracja Stek Chałupa — Restaurant in Zakopane

The food, portion, service and atmosphere are all nailed by this restaurant.

I did not expect a restaurant in a central of tourism place would be this generous with their portion.

🍝 Food: We ordered 3 main dishes: Flacki (my fav) A traditional Polish beef tripe soup. It is a must try as not every restaurant has it. The soup has quite light despite it is made by beef tripe and rich flavour at the same time with balance seasoning. Only if it is served with additional lemon to balance everything, I will give it 100/100.

Baked ducked This dish comes with two duck legs, gnocchi, beetroots and cranberry sauce, a wholesome meal. Each element complimented each other, carb, protein, herbs. The duck seasoning is not that strong, typical European, sweet and savoury in one plate.

Roast veal Another wholesome meal served with pierogi and salad. I kinda expect more rich flavour with those tick look gravy, however, it is just like its name, rasted in its own sauce. What a healthy set.

We are three people and these three dishes fill our belly to the fullest.

👩🏻‍🍳Service is great and they have live traditional Polish music in the evening 🎻 PS: the toilet needs cleaning :)

-- For those Muslim tourists:

I wander if restaurants really understand the concept of "HALAL" since almost all restaurants including this one in the city centre has "HALAL" logo on the display and some dishes on their menu. I understand that it is meant to attract those Arabs who are floading the city, but what I understand that you could call a meal HALAL is where: Not only the meat is not pork, they(beef and poultry) are slaughtered in certain Islamic way the dish does not contain alcohol or intoxication substance The utensils used to serve the meals are not supposed to be also used for Pork contained dishes. You have have separate them. #CMMIW

I hope the restaurants are aware of it and serving up to its standard before putting those labels. Otherwise, it is just sad and could be...

Went twice in a row with my girlfriend and plan to go a third time tonight!

Beef steak is amazing and the price it's sold at makes it unbelievable! (44ztl/around 10.80Euro including a specific beer that comes with the steak =D ), and very good grilled veg on a stick.

The black pudding sausage (pig fat + oatmeal + pig blood + spices + onions) was very good but I preferred it the first time when I took the 3 sausages plate which had lamb sausage + black pudding sausage + local sausage rather than x2 very large black pudding sausages.

The rack of riabs had a generous portion and were very good but it's when you dip the ribs in the honey and cranberry sauce which makes it stand out. As dessert goes, the sweet pancakes with the cottage cheese had a portion as large as a main course dish! I suggest to take x1 portion for 2 people (it WILL be enough dw).

The hot chocolate cake with panna was very good esp for those who love chocolate. It had a dark chocolate taste. With regards to price we were always very satisfied and paid both times around 21e for x2 people including a jug of water.

Oww with regards to seating, just go in and find an empty table or wait 5mins, usually it's enough time for a table to empty. I suggest you sit on the upper floor where you can here and enjoy some local music but won't be deaf by the time...

If you’re in Zakopane and looking for a place that offers authentic local flavors, Stek Chałupa is a must-visit! We had an incredible dining experience here, and everything from the atmosphere to the food exceeded our expectations. The rustic, traditional decor adds so much to the cozy mountain ambiance, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day exploring the town or the nearby Tatra mountains.

The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the smoked cheese paired with cranberry sauce, which was such a treat — the savory, smoky flavor of the cheese balanced beautifully with the sweetness of the cranberries. For the main course, we tried the seasonal lamb, which was cooked to perfection. It was tender, flavorful, and tasted so fresh. We could tell it was prepared with high-quality ingredients and a lot of care.

To warm up, we ordered their winter tea, a fragrant blend of herbs and spices that was both soothing and refreshing, ideal for the chilly weather.

The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. If you’re looking to explore Polish highland cuisine, Stek Chałupa is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend it for anyone...
