Zakopane

Restaurants in Zakopane

Eating in Zakopane means Highlander cooking: grilled meats, sheep's-milk oscypek cheese, and hearty mountain fare, often served in timber karczmas with live folk music. Traditional tables like Bakowo Zohylina, Karczma Zapiecek, and Gazdowo Kuznia lead here, while Restauracja Tatrzanska sits among the older dining rooms in town. For coffee and a quieter break there are Coffee Corner and Cafe Piano, and the oscypek grills along Krupowki are a snack in their own right.

Frequently asked questions

Look for Highlander specialities: grilled oscypek (smoked sheep's cheese, often served with cranberry), lamb and other grilled meats, and warming soups. Traditional karczmas such as Bakowo Zohylina, Karczma Zapiecek, and Gazdowo Kuznia are built around this style of cooking.
Away from the karczmas, Coffee Corner, Cafe Piano, and Cafe Antrakt are central spots for a break. Check current opening hours directly, as they vary by season.
The popular folk-music karczmas like Bakowo Zohylina fill up on winter weekends and holidays, so booking ahead helps. Milk bars, cafes, and the Krupowki oscypek grills are walk-in. Confirm hours and reservations through each venue.
