Harnaś restaurant in Kościelisko sparks controversy over entry rules

The Harnaś restaurant in Kościelisko has become the subject of intense social media debate due to its strict entry policies and customer service approach. Visitors have reported encountering metal turnstiles at the entrance, similar to those found in public restrooms, and a requirement to use an intercom to gain access.

According to customer reviews, the establishment enforces specific rules during lunch hours (12:00 to 18:00), where only guests intending to order a full meal are permitted entry. Those wishing to purchase only drinks or desserts are refused service. Additionally, customers have criticized high costs for parking and a fee for using the restroom.

A sign posted at the entrance claims that the restaurant is private property and is “legally protected against Google reviews.” The owner has also drawn criticism for responses to negative feedback, maintaining a firm stance on the establishment's right to restrict access.
