Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise the incredibly flavorful duck and cozy, rustic highland ambiance. Many highlight the friendly service and authentic, homemade Polish specialties, with most finding the prices very reasonable for the generous portions.

"The best Duck I have ever eaten in my whole life. I have tried all sorts of duck (roasted, stir fried, all cuisines) and this is easily one of the best, it is the juiciest and most flavorful duck with the best crispy skin and it has the best value for money at just 60 something zloty or around 12 pounds!!
If you're in Zakopane, come and order their duck and they have other amazing dishes too such as the pork knuckle and goat dishes. So yes trust me and come try their duck. And also we came here twice in the span of 5 days so it's really that good"

"Highly recommended place to visit! Nice and unique atmosphere. During summer time you could eat outside as well. We took a mixed big plate for three (a lot of different things to taste - polish bigos some dumplings, variety of meat etc.), but ate together with a kid, so four of us. As well as we ate some nice deserts. And even though we were really hungry we could not eat it all. The food was tasty and good! Personal just great and willing to help! Answered all the questions and helped us to feel like at home!
There is big enough parking space near the entrance.
We will definitely return to this place when next time will visit Zakopane!"

"This is our favorite restaurant in Zakopane so far. Fantastic ambience, cozy. Room to wait inside the restaurant for a table. Worth the wait. Everything was incredible - especially the cheese appetizer, ice cream crumble desert, warm beat side dish that comes with the rabbit - the mutton ragut. Simply scrumptious and very reasonably priced. Our family of five left stuffed for less than 100usd. I highly recommend this place."

Najlepsze restauracje w Zakopanem - czyli gdzie warto zjeść?
We were captivated by a climatic interior with a fire in the middle!. And well presented and above all, delicious food and a friendly staff. A pub in a typical highland style, away from the hustle and bustle of Krupowki - for a big plus!
The conference dinner will be in the restaurant "Czarci Jar" (A). "Szarotka" hotel is to the south of "Czarci Jar" (A) in the street called Male Zywczanskie
