Zapiecek Polish Pierogi

If you have yet to be introduced to the venerable world of pierogi (a special type of Polish dumpling) then you have a rite of passage in store. Pierogi to the Pole is what pasta is to the Italian - that homeliest of homely dishes, and Poles will wax lyrical about the merits and subtleties of the various fillings (both sweet and savoury), that contribute to the galaxy of pierogi. This little bar is certainly one of the best places in town to get acquainted with the dish. Here you'll find everything from the classic cabbage and mushroom dumpling to black pudding, cottage cheese or plum. A veritable paradise for pierogi lovers.

good points

if i want pierogi when i'm in krakow, this is where i go, every time!

Yep, good pierogis, bad service. Worth a try...

You can't beat the pierogis there. Simply the best in town. I wish I could say the same about the service:(
Good option for a quick take away and now they're open over night too.

A trusty spot, and about the only 24 hour spot in town! Wish there was one of these in my part of town...

If you do not like to eat with plastic cutlery, the restaurant next door will oblige you with real ( if you ask nicely), as they are both own by the same firm.

Nice little spot this. The meat pierogi (z miesem) are my fave. Catch an outside table if the suns shinin.

Have to say the pierogi here bought an actual tear to my eye! The memories came flooding back of visiting my polish grandparents house as a child and being served pierogi till I thought my belly would burst. You won't find a more authentic pierogi anywhere and they are delicious!

With a group of friends, had a late lunch after the carriage ride. Pierogi like mamma used to make, but more variety. Ordered several kinds and didn't leave any behind!

Always a good'un for a quick lunch. You have to try pierogi at least once if you're coming to Poland.

mmmh...io preferisco spalanga

It was the 1st time 4 me to taste such a wonderful delight!Maybe it was also better than...our italian spaghetti!

very gud! nice atmosphere, good people in this paradise of pierogi! don't miss it!

People are saying that the plastic cutlery etc sucks well try taking it away and eating it in the middle of the square so you don’t have to look at the crappy interior.

Had some ruskie pierogi from there yesterday and was pretty underwhelmed. Too much shell, not enough stuffing, boring seasoning.

Fabulous! The pierogi are excellent and they taste like grandma is in the kitchen making them. A comfortable, home-like restuarant. Very nice. This was my first meal in Krakow along with many others at Pierogarnia. It just can't be beat for the best pierogi at the best price. A delightful experience!

We have eaten here for our first evening in Krakow. It's very very good and tasty, for that little money. Really an recommended place!

Pierogi were very tasty. Shame everything was served on plastic plates with plastic cutlery. Didn't really add to the lovely interior.

Very tasty and inexpensive food! We ordered zurek and several varieties of pierogi and all were delicious. The one negative was the vast amount of styrofoam products used.

This place in my opinion is the best for value for money. You can go home with a full stomach only spending about 6zl!! Best bargain in town too....

Perfect place for a quick lunch. I recommend 'z miesem'. Delicious!

A much appreciated place where you can eat the typical "pierogi". The only problem is that this place is REALLY SMALL so you normally have to wait if you want to sit down but, believe me, it's worth the wait!!
