Our cuisine
We stand out from other Zakopane restaurants thanks to our amazing european cuisine with regional accents. If you have dumplings, choose them with delicate Podhale lamb. If it's pizza, it's made with traditional Italian cheeses.
Our specialty is velvety sea bream in garlic, lemon and chili. Among the local specialties, we have prepared lamb ragu with forest mushrooms, pheasant consomme and old Polish bigos. As our guests say, that's it a combination of the raw nobility of highland cuisine with the sun-filled aromas of Mediterranean cuisine is not easily forgotten.
La Prima Restaurant in Zakopane also serves hearty pastas, light entrées, Mediterranean soups and delicious desserts. All our dishes are based on reputable products from international suppliers, and we draw inspiration from local cuisine and natural ingredients abundant in the Podhale region.
The restaurant also offers a selection of the best wines. And of course, there's coffee – a unique blend of aromatic beans chosen and made specially for us.
Chef Dariusz Stopka
"At La Prima Restaurant, I share my love of Pdhale cuisine. For years, I've cooked in various kitchens, including fusion and slow food, and using the sous vide method. As a native inhabitant of Podhale, I've got a knack for highlander cuisine. But it's Italian cuisine that's closest to my heart.
I create dishes like as if I was cooking for myself and my loved ones – with respect for differing tastes. I call this a kitchen that combines the tastes of different generations..
I place particular focus on product quality. I also carefully chooses my employees, because similar to sport, it's the sum of the marginal profits that determines the dishes whose flavour will linger with you for a long time”.
Cosy interiors
A family lunch, romantic candlelit dinner or an outing with friends? La Prima offers fun slow feasting among Tatra nature..
Our interiors are filled with a cosy, intimate atmosphere. You can enjoy the comfortable armchairs, warm wood, soft carpet like a meadow covered with autumn leaves, and a flickering fireplace. There's also delicate embroidery, hand-painted Tatra cones and intricately decorated lamps. All this is permeated with the elegant Zakopane style.
For children
The relaxed, almost home-like atmosphere makes children feel very comfortable with usAt the entrance, young guests are greeted by beautiful wooden squirrels. We've also specially prepared placemats with colouring in, puzzles, games and tasks for children. And if after dinner, your little ones are brimming with energy, we have a play room available w Bachleda Resort.
At La Prima Restaurant, we respect the culinary preferences of our youngest guests. The special children's menu has been personally prepared by the Head Chef. Our pasta, meat and sweet surprises reportedly convince even the fussiest eaters.
