Restauracja Stek Chałupa

Quite good. But the wait on the food was long and took sometimes, probably 30-40mins. Maybe when we were there, the restaurant was quite busy; I understand that. The portion for some of the food are quite huge, the taste are fair not too bad but not the greatest. But the thing is “the cheesecake” is unacceptable for me personally. I don’t like it, it’s too cakey and not smooth

We didn't really like the food, although the steak was delicious, we ordered a mix for 180 PLN. We didn't even eat the salad, the ribs or the last ones were all dry, and the staff is not very polite, they only look to you to leave quickly because it's already 10 o'clock in the evening and she wants to go home. The beer is delicious.) so whoever likes it, I personally won't come here again..

We walked quite a bit down the main street looking for a place to eat and came across this. They had a dedicated english menu which was a nice touch for us travellers. When looking at the menu there was plenty of choice along with a seasonal menu of options. We got the trout which was wonderfully done, although be aware you will have to pick out the bones for those who are not keen on fish dishes like that. We also got one of the steaks which was cooked perfectly how we wanted. Along with pork chops with garlic potatoes, the potatoes were an amazing addition to that meal and would recommend a try. When we arrived it was just in time for the live music, all music in this area is very tradition and local which is absolutely wonderful. Overall we very much enjoyed this place, with lovely food and a lovely atmosphere.

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: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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: 1. Not only the meat is not pork, they(beef and poultry) are slaughtered in certain Islamic way 2. the dish does not contain alcohol or intoxication substance 3. 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 considered a scam 😊

The restaurant is centrally located, but unfortunately the food was quite average and didn’t stand out. Service was also below expectations — slow at times, and some members of the staff were even rude, which affected the overall experience. It wasn’t terrible, but with so many good places around Zakopane, there are better options for both food and service.

The restaurant looked nice and was in a good location. There were few people there when we arrived, but by the time we finished eating, they were more of them. I had the ribs, which were dry, but the sauce was good and made it better. My uncle got a raw steak and when he said it was bad, they cooked it too much and it wasn't good. The others lunch was good.

This place knew what they were doing to feeding you with incredible dinner Beef steak and a signature Zakopane cheese were the best

A very nice restaurant from the Zakopane region of Poland. This region has oak furniture and structures for making a cozy spot in winter or summer. Nice touch with four man music group playing traditional folk music of the region. The service is friendly and professional. We order Zurek soup which is a sour rye base with plenty of meat and hard boiled egg. The pork ribs were delicious. The grilled ribeye was order medium rare and tasted like medium so order rare. The chicken salad was also tasty.

Food - Amazing!!! Have the Black Currant Pierogi with sweet cream. So good! These pierogi should win the Krakow pierogi festival. Astounding! The local cheese and meat starter was tasty and abundant. The pork cheeks special was flawless. Service was helpful, friendly, and polite although very busy. The ambience was very authentic for Zakopane -- rustic, mountainous, woodsy, natural.

I really enjoyed Stek Chalupa and you could tell it was a popular spot. I had read about it in a guidebook and marked it down as a possibility to go to when in Zakopane. When I arrived, I went into town for dinner on my own. I walked on Krupowki Street to check out other spots and there were plenty of choices, but none seemed as lively or as popular as Stek Chalupa. It has indoor and outdoor (with blankets) seating. I got a table inside and didn't realize at the time that I would have a front-row seat to hear some local folk musicians who were on break when I arrived. The menu was extensive and there was a lot to choose from. After a full day of traveling, my eyes were bigger than my stomach - thankfully my waitress told me she thought my order was too big and steered me toward two of my three items. I'm so glad she did as it was the perfect amount of food and really nice options. I had the "highlander potato pancake" which was a stone baked potato pancake that came with garlic butter or local sheep's milk cheese as accompaniments. I preferred the cheese and while these weren't the traditional sort of potato pancakes I grew up eating from my grandmother, they were quite good. The pierogis themselves were outstanding - maybe the best I had while in Poland (and trust me, I had a LOT of them!). I washed them both down with a Polish beer. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the service was attentive and helpful. Prices were great for the quality and quantity of the food. I would definitely return to Stek Chalupa if I ever have the privilege of returning to Zakopane.

Great place to go visit if in Zakopane! Ribeye wasn't as I expected but was ok. The baked potato was delicious with garlic butter! It wasn't the best, but wasn't bad! They have live music and is usually busy

Yeah, I'll give it a 5 star. We ate there twice. First time not too hungry and so had some wine and a cheese and sausage plate. Well, that plate alone was sufficient for both of us. In fact, we had to takeaway the leftovers. Three kinds cheeses and three kinds meat, plus gherkins, garlic, cucumbers, tomatoes. A huge plate. Next day after a strenuous 5:22 RT hike up and down Mt Giewont, we went straight there for a feast since we had not eaten at all that day. I had pork knuckle and she had ribs. Both excellent. We also had a bake potato, salads (actually four salads on one dish) . We had a pitcher of beer with this. It was all great and we did it justice by finishing it all. Service was good. Hardly any waiting. I would go again, but I need to try some other places while I am here.
