Harnaś restaurant policy controversy in Kościelisko

Overview

The Harnaś restaurant in Kościelisko has faced significant public backlash regarding its restrictive entry policies and service approach. Initial reports highlighted the use of metal turnstiles, intercom access, and a policy during lunch hours that limits entry to customers ordering full meals while refusing those seeking only drinks or desserts. Customers also criticized additional costs for parking and restroom usage, as well as a sign claiming the establishment is “legally protected against Google reviews.”

As the controversy escalated, details emerged regarding the owner’s aggressive responses to negative feedback. Following a visit by YouTuber Książulo, the owner admitted to the behavior, stating, “I simply couldn't take it mentally. I snapped.” The owner defended the measures as a response to disrespectful tourist behavior, such as the misuse of facilities and refusal to pay parking fees. In the wake of the backlash, the owner reported that some controversial responses were removed and certain rules were adjusted.
