Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Superb desserts

Sept 2022 • none

My Polish wife and I enjoyed some delicious desserts. The portions were very generous. I had four pancakes filled with baked apple and this was accompanied by a decent amount of ice cream and some cream. I feel that the price of 18 zł was very reasonable for the size of the portion. The waitress was very attentive too. Would definitely recommend.

What a portions

Aug 2022 • friends

Located in an amazing area in the upper centre of Sczawnica. We have been expecting more. The desserts are incredibly big. If you order pavlova cake you will get pavlova that big that surely you will not eat it. For me it is a problem, because I do not like wasting food, and have seen on the other tables that people were also surprised by the size of the desserts and not finishing it. The quality of the cakes was not bad, but also nothing very special, I would say average but we were not dissapointed or not satisfied. But maybe we just picked wrong :P

Dropped in for drinks and apps. Great deck for outdoor dining. Overlooks a nice square with fountain. Good food, good service. What's not to like?

Good home-made food

Aug 2018 • friends

We actually ended up eating there 3 times during our stay in Szczawnica. Overall, it's a nice place offering good food for an honest price. Now don't get me wrong - the food was not excellent but it was good. The prices were fair and so were the portions. On our first visit, however, it was quite difficult to catch the waitress' eye and we had to wait quite a while to be served.

Not for really food.

Jul 2018 • couples

The place in noisy, there is no really food served over there. Fine to meet for some drinks, but do not expect to visit their bathroom/toilet, terrible dirty spot.

Not a nice experience

Jun 2018 • family

We were a group of 12 people, mainly family and we thought that this would be perfect place to have Sunday lunch in. Unfortunately we were unable to eat in the restaurant as waitress told us it is impossible to move tables in order to accommodate us! She was surprised that we couldn’t sit at separate tables!!! And said that tables were heavy to lift I assured her that we would move them ourselves and put them back in their right place after meal. Unfortunately we were not able to do that either, reason being “we do not move tables” I am really shocked as we were in Poland for a week and managed to eat in various locations, cities and restaurant and we were never refused to move tables!!! I need to add that idea of going to restaurant in company of 12 and being advised to eat at separate tables is appalling! I am very disappointed as restaurant itself looks beautiful and is well located. Unfortunately we needed to go elsewhere.

nice place bad polish food

Jul 2017 • friends

its difficult not to go there as this restaurant is located in the very center of the nice zdrojowy square where you should go anyway. So its quite nice to sit outside there.... but the food is very average. bad polish dishes (pierogi bad soup) maybe..better to go there for a coffee as you can eat poor food evrywhere. this place claims to have french? or italian? cousine - i tried the polish one and they really dont care what they serve so i doubt that its french or italian cousine would be better

The place is nice and spacious, but the food is just ok. Coffee was good. They should work at the children corner for sure...

Good coffe

May 2017 • none

Nice cafe in a historical building with beautifull interior. The coffee and the cakes are very good. Only drawback is that once when we arrived 20 minutes before closing we had to leave - they didn't serve any hot drinks - not coffee or tea. Strange
