Stek Chałupa

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.

Amazing place with friendly staff! Food is delicious and food and drinks comes fast! 100% recommend! Our place to be in Zakopane

Very nice steak, tasty and alot of vegetables (on a stick). Someone local recommended this steak restaurant and it was fantastic. The staff is friendly and you have alot of places to sit. The day i came to this restaurant it was very crowdy. (Holiday day in Poland)

Good place, and nice waiters. The food is ok, a nice salad with traditional cheese. I recommend trying beer with raspberry syrup. Minus - a lot of bees.

Stek Chałupa is a really nice restaurant with great food and professional friendly service. We tried borscht with meat croquette and delicious asparagus baked with local white cheese, served with rocket and cocktail tomatoes, dressed with balsamic vinegar.

If you’re looking for one of the best dining experiences in Zakopane, this restaurant is a must-visit. The atmosphere is truly remarkable—warm, inviting, and perfect for an enjoyable meal or a relaxing evening. The food is nothing short of exceptional. Their potato with cream is easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The shashlik is a standout, with perfectly cooked, tender, and smoky meat that will leave you wanting more. To top it off, their tea and wine selection complements the meal wonderfully, adding an extra layer of satisfaction. That said, there are a couple of drawbacks. The wait time for seating was quite long, which can test your patience, especially if you’re hungry. Additionally, the service left room for improvement. The restaurant was busy, and we often struggled to get the staff’s attention, which detracted slightly from the otherwise excellent experience. Despite these minor issues, I absolutely recommend visiting this restaurant. It’s truly one of the best places in Zakopane, offering a culinary experience that more than makes up for any inconvenience. Don’t miss out on this gem!

Great atmosphere but we weren't that amazed with the food. The older lady who served us was very kind, though perhaps a little overly attentive... She kept pronouncing what we wanted in polish and kept repeating it, as if she wanted us to say the name of the dish we wanted in polish.

The meat and cheese platter was gigantic - great value and far too much for 2 people. Pierogi very tasty and nicely cooked. We sat too close to the live music so difficult to hear each other but that's on us.. Venue had a nice ambience and service very good.

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.
