Amazing experience. Youngest polish chef to receive a star. Our server Kuba was nothing short of great and polite. The food was immaculate and the desert called “Giewont” is a must try experience. The cadence between dishes was perfect - with enough time to enjoy the dish and discuss with the group. We will definitely return.

Honestly WOW... !!

One of the best (if not THE BEST) restaurant experiences I have had in my life. Prior to coming I have read some of the reviews on Google, as I usually do and most of them compliment the food but not the service... Do not listen to them !!

Our server Mateusz has done an absolutely stunning job. Very knowledgeable,  professional and mainly just a very friendly guy ! We did not feel under pressure or rushed at all. Everything was spot on,  I would even argue that the service and food deserve 2 Michelin stars in comparison to other Michelin restaurants I have been to. He spoke both Polish and English and explained everything in great detail. So once again Mateusz 'THANK YOU !! You have made our night and You really deserve a big pat on the back and a big glass of champagne from the boss !!  :D

The food was delicious and very creative. The trout and truffle dish and the Wagyu fat broth for the amuse bouche were absolutely stunning !! Everything looked amazing and tasted even better. I wish we could try the rest of the menu. I had a quick chat with the chef at the end of the night and you can tell he simply loves what he is doing.

Big shoutout to the bar team for making their take on a French Martini for my fiancé which she adored !!

The decor, surroundings and views are amazing !!

Once again thank you to the 'Giewont' team. Your hard work really pays off. I will definitely be back and I can't recommend it enough !!

We looked for a place to celebrate the birthday when we were staying at Zakopane and choose this restaurant. The service was excellent,  just need to improve the explanation in English about every dish. I've ordered seasonal tasting, the saddle of venison was delicious, other dishes were good except the veal thymus that was tasteless.  My partner ordered Foie Gras, onion soup and tenderloin, every dish was delicious. We also get one desert as a gift that was very nice. Highly recommended.
