Karczma U Polowacy
About
Karczma U Polowacy, a cherished local restaurant nestled just a stone’s throw from the heart of Szczawnica and close to the ski lifts on Pałenica, invites guests to experience the vibrant flavors and warm hospitality of the Polish highlands. The kitchen showcases a rich, regional menu that celebrates the diversity of Polish and highlander cuisine – from tender pork chops and creamy pierogi with assorted fillings to game meats such as venison, lamb and wild boar, as well as freshly prepared trout. Seasonal specials and a daily menu are also offered, ensuring fresh taste every visit. An inviting atmosphere rounds out the dining experience: lively music follows the sun, and a charming interior with rustic décor evokes the traditional mountain style. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment suitable for both locals and travelers. Outdoor dining is available at the riverside terrace, while ample on‑site parking keeps guests comfortable. Free Wi‑Fi, a full bar, highchairs, and the option for pre‑arranged celebrations (weddings, christenings, other occasions) make it an ideal gathering spot for families, couples, and groups of friends.
