The menu of Karczma U Wnuka is a cross section of traditional Podhale cuisine, served in Zakopane since 1850. The card holds regional starters, warming soups, filling main courses from the grill and the oven, potato pancakes and robbers' troughs of meat for larger company. We prepare everything on site, from proven local recipes and ingredients that have defined the taste of Podhale for generations.

Karczma U Wnuka stands at Kościeliska 8, in the heart of the old town of Zakopane, about 300 metres from Krupówki. It is a convenient choice when you are looking for a place to eat real regional food close to the centre. Among the most frequently ordered dishes are kwaśnica on smoked rib, grilled oscypek with cranberry, robbers' potato pancakes, knuckle of pork roasted on cabbage, lamb and Janosik ribs.

Our card joins dishes known from every highland inn with the chef's own suggestions, such as sirloin in porcini sauce with moskole flatbreads. We also think of guests looking for lighter food, so the menu includes poultry and vegetarian options, among them pierogi and pancakes in several versions. Prices are given next to every item, and portions are sized so that anyone coming down from the mountains with a real appetite leaves full.

If you are visiting Zakopane for the first time, the menu of Karczma U Wnuka is a good way to get to know the cooking of Podhale in one place, in the setting of the oldest regional inn in town. We invite you to the full card and to a quiet meal at a wooden table, a few minutes on foot from the main promenade of Zakopane. No reservation is needed, simply come in.

Our card changes with the seasons and with the occasion, so in winter we reach more often for warming dishes such as kwaśnica or żurek, while the classics that define Podhale cooking stay all year round. If you are planning a visit with a larger group or with children, it is worth calling ahead so that we can prepare the right table and help you choose. The menu of Karczma U Wnuka is not only a list of dishes, it is an invitation to a calm regional meal in one of the most atmospheric places in the centre of Zakopane, a few minutes from Krupówki.
