From the table next door to an old manor house

Three tables in Szczyrk itself and ten more within reach, each chosen by what its guests say.

Where to eat around Szczyrk: the resort’s restaurants and bars next door, three tables in town and ten more within reach. Each was chosen for its cooking and for what its guests say, and each comes with its map, its website and a number to call.

Five easy steps: take the one you need. Every table here has earned its place: a high score from many guests, a menu online, no weak score anywhere. Each figure is linked and dated; the rest was checked on the places’ own websites on 30 September and 1 October 2026.

Steps

A story

A dinner after the mountains

You come down from the mountain hungry, the good kind of hungry that only cold air and a long day can give. A hot shower, a warm sweater, and out again.

Read the story

Fifteen minutes down the hill, at Restauracja z Ikrą, a window looks into the kitchen, so that nothing is hidden, and everything is cooked to order, which means a dish can run out. Trout, perhaps, or home-made pierogi.

On the main street, Beskidzka 40 cooks mountain dishes and dishes from further away, and keeps its own patisserie for after. Or make an evening of it at Halka, where the kitchen sends out six courses, each with a wine to match.

On a Friday, a Saturday or a Sunday, Pierogarnia Bracka fills its plates with pierogi, savoury and sweet.

Whichever you choose, call ahead, or ask your host to. Then let the evening be long: the mountains will still be there in the morning.

Plan yours on WhatsApp

Step 1 of 5 · Pick a feeling. Go.

Start here

Regional cooking, a dinner to remember, an easy meal with children, or only coffee and cake: choose one, and follow a name to its card.

How near everything is

How far

Next door: about 350 m on foot. In Szczyrk: 15 to 27 minutes on foot. The rest: 20 to 35 minutes by car.

How we chose

Google 4.5 or more from at least 100 opinions, or Tripadvisor 4.5 from at least 20. A menu online; neither score under 4.3.

Opening hours

As printed on each place’s own site today. Hours change with the season: check before visiting.

Booking

Most places take bookings by phone: tap “Call to book”. Where a place prints no number, your host calls for you.

Step 2 of 5 · Five minutes on foot.

Next door

The Mercure Szczyrk Resort is the nearest place to eat: about 350 m on foot. Its restaurants and bars, as the resort describes them, with what we could confirm about outside guests.

A story

Five minutes to a table

Some evenings the legs have done enough. Five minutes on foot from your door, the resort next door cooks over a live fire. Beef smoked over fruitwood, steaks from the grill, pizza on a dough rested for five days.

Read the story

Anyone may book a table there, online or by phone, any day from one until ten.

Afterwards the lobby bar looks out at Skrzyczne, for a last coffee or a glass of wine. Then it is five minutes home, under whatever sky the mountain has decided on.

The region: ten more

Ten more places that pass the same bar: pierogi and pizza in Szczyrk, a manor house, a steak house, a coffee roastery, two inns in Wisła. Grouped by kitchen, numbered by distance.

A story

Worth the drive

Ten more tables wait within reach, and each has its reason. In Bielsko-Biała, about twenty minutes down the valley, one restaurant lives in a nineteenth-century manor house. Another, in an Art Nouveau townhouse, open since 2002, ages its own beef. A third pours coffee it roasts itself.

Read the story

Closer to home, near the Skrzyczne chairlift, a regional distillery keeps a kitchen with a seasonal menu, and a pierogi house fills its plates, savoury and sweet.

Pick by mood, not by distance. Then phone first: a table that is expected is a table that is ready.
