It is really nice and traditional restaurant but the staff cannot answer easy questions about meal preparation or recipients. Prices are acceptable but I have expected better taste. It is good to visit because of the design and nice atmosphere.

Appendix Cafe Bar

We serve delicious coffee & tea, very rich selection of drinks and wine. During the summer you can chill sipping our refreshing Mojito, sitting in the garden placed between lively Krupówki street and a swooshing mountain Torrent. In the winter you will warm up holding in your hands mulled beer made with honey and spices. Every Friday and Saturday drop in for some live music.

We like sharing so for the last 5 years we have been spending half of the evenings of our holidays in Zakopane in Appendix (the other half in Tygodnik Podhalanski). It is all about atmosphere! We always end up on a bigger table than we started with some strangers. Drinks are great and reasonably priced for Poland, bargain for forners. Boys can watch football when I can stuck on unlimited cocktail supply.

Perfect for a night out.

We went here because of the positive reviews and it certainly did not disappoint. We had a table inside and there were plenty free tables at eight o'clock, outside as well. The waitress introduced herself, spoke very well English and was really attentive. The food was tasty and the portions large.

Beautiful path to the restaurant. You can sit outside with a great view of Mountains. Interior of restaurant is typical, regional. Very nice local music- 3 pln extra per person from 18:00. Service was also OK. However the most important food was not good. Chicken was raw with bones! That is completely not acceptable. We have got 10% discount but that is not enough compensation as people go to restaurant to eat together at the same time and spend nice time. Maybe my rating is 1 step too low but this is on purpose. I want to warn people that not everything is perfect. Restaurant like that shouldn't give people meals in hurry which are not properly prepared. Not for such big money.

Karczma Po Zboju

We kindly invite you to the largest regional restaurant in Krupówki area! The interior is styled in a way that would remind you of old highlanders' houses, and the walls feature genuine finish from such place. Two fireplaces made out of bricks and broken stones and numerous folklore elements create an unique atmosphere. In the evenings you can listen to the music by a highlander folk band, which guarantees the uniqueness of the place. In the "Karczma po Zbóju" you will also find a glass winter garden at the ground floor. Drink bar with a view of the Krupówki street. Our youngest guests may use a children's corner in the winter garden, and there is a small playground outside the restaurant, which is to be used in the summer. We offer traditional Polish and highlanders' cuisine. We serve everything you need to enjoy the Tatra Mountains atmosphere! Our staff is nice and professional. We invite everybody who dreams of tasting the traditional highlander atmosphere to our inn!

We went there twice during our 6 days stay in Zakopane. Overall lovely atmosphere. The place is decorated with old folk kits, waitresses are wearing traditional mountain-region clothes.
Food was good but nothing amazing. My husband had once chicken broth (coming called rosół) and it was not good I must say (I tried it). I had kwaśnica, sauerkraut soup served with pork rib and it was good. Also had grzaniec, grzane wino (mulled wine) and I really really liked it.
Another nice bit about the place was the menu. For me as polish person I could read the menu in Polish thus you do get the nice details of mountain dialect being used, that adds on to the expierience and the feeling that you are in Mountains and in Zakopane.
The second time we went there I ordered polewka which was interesting traditional mountain soup, it was good, slightly sour. I also had just side of potatoes, surówki (3 different caslews) and mug of sour milk (fermented milk, very popular in Poland and very good for your gut and digestion). Overall that meal was good. My husband had some meat ragoue or stew served with 'kluski' a small pasta.
The service was ok. On our second visit they were very busy, we struggled to get someone to bring our bill.
It is not a place where you go on romantic dinner btw. It's more like eatery or more social restaurant.
You have large wooden tables, smaller for 4 people, largest for up to 10 so you sometimes end up Seating at the larger table with someone else.
Overall we liked it although we have been to place called Bąkowo Zohylina (Niźnio) and despite those places being similar style and atmosphere we preferred the other.

We dropped by this restaurant as it was just a couple of minutes away from our lodging and we wanted to try out some local cuisine. Unfortunately we made the mistake of visiting one hour before closing time, and while we really appreciated their welcoming us, it ended up being quite a rushed meal.
Still, we took the ribs roasted with pear, grilled chicken with dried tomatoes, roast beef in gravy, and the pierogi... and each dish was delicious.

Nice cafe place, with an outdoor sitting , specially in summer very popular .... Just in the center of the town. Very recommended as " best ice cream in the world place"
The ice cream are really good, however not the best ever ...
Cakes are too sweet ... Lots of cream, fat and sugar ... Unless you are an absolute sugaroholic ... You find much better sweets in the nearby Samantha place.
The serving girls are rude and making an impression that it is a punishment to take your order ....
So .. Make your own choice ....

You must wait for a table about 15-20 minutes, sometime outside the door, but it's worth of every minute. Food is excellent and the service - owner very fast. Prices nice and easy.
