They say we have a separate stomach for dessert. And thank goodness for that! While a visit to Zielnik wouldn’t be complete without our duck or zander, leaving without trying our sweets is simply a “sin of omission.”

Our kitchen ensures that the display is always tempting and the scent of freshly baked cake greets you right at the threshold. But what to choose when everything looks so good? Here is a short guide to help you make this (sweet) decision.

Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream: A True Classic

This is absolute comfort food in its purest form. Our apple pie is a tribute to tradition, but in a version that truly pampers the senses.

For whom? For those seeking warmth and a homey atmosphere.

The experience: Imagine a crumbly, buttery pastry and roasted apples with a hint of cinnamon, served warm. Accompanied by a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream that slowly melts on the plate, creating a creamy sauce. It’s a contrast of temperatures that is simply addictive.

White Chocolate Cheesecake: Velvety Elegance

In Poland, a good cheesecake is the litmus test for any restaurant. Ours is exactly as it should be: rich and dense with curd cheese, yet fluffy and moist.

For whom? For lovers of premium-style sweets.

The secret: We don’t skimp on ingredients. We use the finest curd cheese and real butter, topping it all off with a white chocolate glaze. Its sweetness perfectly balances the slight tartness of the cheese, creating a complete composition.

Meringue Cake: Queen of the Table

This is the dessert Guests travel across all of Warsaw for. Our meringue is a legend and an absolute bestseller.

For whom? For those who make no compromises when it comes to pleasure.

Flavor and texture: Crispy and delicate as porcelain on the outside, chewy and marshmallow-like on the inside. We layer it with fluffy cream and plenty of fresh fruit to cut through the sweetness. However, what we are most famous for is the version with rich, velvety pistachio cream. It’s a combination of crunch, nutty notes, and fruity freshness that disappears from the plate in the blink of an eye.

Cake of the Day: A Seasonal Surprise

This is where the Chef’s imagination and nature’s calendar take the lead. This choice is for those seeking something new.

What to expect? In the summer, it might be a strawberry or rhubarb tart straight from the field. In the autumn – plum cake with crumble. In the winter – spiced gingerbread.

How to order? Ask your waiter what just came out of the oven. This is a dessert that captures a moment and serves it on a plate.

The Perfect Pair: Coffee or Wine?

Dessert at Zielnik doesn’t like to be alone. Our baristas will prepare the perfect espresso to put the finishing touch on your meal, or a creamy cappuccino.

And if you’re celebrating a special occasion? Ask our staff for a glass of Prosecco or Cava—the sparkling bubbles cleanse the palate beautifully after a sweet meringue and add a touch of lightness to the moment. Alternatively, for the perfect end to a hearty meal, we recommend something for digestion: our traditional Noble Liqueur (Nalewka Szlachecka) or a glass of fine Port. It’s the crowning glory of a feast in the best old-fashioned style.

Save a little room. Whether you’re dropping by for a quick lunch or a celebratory dinner—a sweet finale at Zielnik is a mandatory part of the program.
