On the question of food in Zakopane
The question of eating in Zakopane is not raised, does not lie, and is not even pronounced aloud. The picture is crystal clear and clear as well water on a cold morning. You can eat everywhere, many and varied. There were no inconsistencies with the budget, and the idea of reducing the staff of consumers was not put on the agenda. In my opinion, Poland, and more specifically Krakow and Zakopane, is one of the few places where the control over the amount of food consumed is left to chance, and the menu can be safely waved with the index finger without much fuss about prices.
This, of course, is not a penny, but the cost is quite consistent with the declared value of the dish (unlike Parisian pancakes for 4 euros: )).
An inveterate representative of the cultural fund of Zakopane cuisine is, of course, a tavern. There are many of them and they manage to remain diverse.
Oak tables in the stone-wooden rooms are bursting with meat delights and all those dishes that can be safely roasted on an open fire right in front of the guests. All possible types of meat, with or without bones, several hundred kilograms per day are fried to a golden color to the delight of thousands of hungry skiers. They are served with potatoes, several types of homemade soups and discreet versions of planed vegetables. You can drink all this with tea, beer, hot beer, mulled wine, or for those for whom the ski track is closed today - bison or mead.
If you're a puny vegetarian like me, then you're clearly not the stereotype of a local customer. The tavern has nothing to please you, since the salads that they shred for visitors are more like a variant of sauerkraut, which is convenient to take with your hands. Crushed carrots, the same celery or cabbage - that's basically all.
But the notorious meat-eaters on the sides were happy. They eulogized the local kebabs, clinking cups of beer with one hand and waving half-eaten pork shanks in the other.
By the way, in taverns I recommend not to be arrogant and, if possible, order fewer dishes than the size of your company. Not everyone will be able to finish what they so easily asked for themselves to bring.
If, for whatever reason, you get tired of the abundance of fatty foods, local folklore and the same type of evenings, you still have the choice to go to some institution of a fundamentally different type. There are fewer of them here than inn options, but with such a huge offer of restaurants in the Zakopane market, there are still enough.
There are several pizzerias with quite a varied complementary menu. Several restaurants of European cuisine with prices one and a half to two times stronger than everywhere else and a sushi bar.
A good option is a tavern with a buffet, where for a total price of 3 zł per 100 grams, you can heat whatever your heart desires into plates.
Well, about the prices. Regarding the food, the prices are very reasonable. Wonderful soups PLN 8-12, sausages PLN 10, meat dishes around PLN 15-20, well, large plates or pans with meat, a side dish, and even a salad in addition for PLN 25-30. Salads are quite expensive (compared to meat dishes) at PLN 20-25 and do not look right in all places. Let's just say that salads are not a local fad. Only in one place did I manage to try such a salad that I wanted to order supplements, write a recipe and give my personal “merci” to the chef.
Tea, coffee 5-7 zł , beer 7-8, but a beaker of vodka is also 7-8. I’ll add about alcohol that it will occupy the first position in terms of expenses in the general check.
