Restaurants & Cafes in Gdansk

Restaurants & Cafes in Gdansk
Dining in Gdańsk has still not reached the levels you'd expect from a tourist destination but things are improving. The figures in brackets denote the approximate price of the cheapest and dearest main course on the menu. The opening hours we list are flexible and are rough guidelines as to when you can expect the chef to be working. If business is slow people will have no qualms about shutting early. Service in general has improved considerably, although it can still be annoying slow. Also beware of using ‘thank you’ when paying for your bill. This is often taken to mean ‘Keep the change’.

Here are some recommendations depending on what you are looking for.

Local

Check out the local Kashubian cuisine in Velvetka, the local Gdansk cuisine in Gdanska or the best pierogi for miles in Pierogarnia U Dzika. Swójski Smak is great for meaty moments, while Goldwasser perfect for times less rowdy – check out the collectable sets of Goldwasser vodka. For local fish, then try Targ Rybny or Tawerna or dine where Lech Walesa takes his official guests, at the historic Pod Lososiem (Under the Salmon).

Cheap

If you think of 20zł as cheap then Bar Pod Rybą wins by a mile. Excellent jacket spuds served with an exhaustive choice of toppings. Alternatively take a step back in time and eat in one of the ‘Milk Bars’ where basic and very cheap food is served up in a pre-1989 atmosphere.

Lads

Head to Brovarnia, a posh microbrewery complimented with a strong menu, or go to Masala for an Indian.

Couples

Czerwone Drzwi is perfect for candlelit whispered moments, or head to Filharmonia for good views and one of Poland’s best meals. Fellini has also been earning positive reviews as a place to take your date.

Splurge

Nothing in Gdansk is going to make your credit card buckle but at the top end try Verres en Vers in the Radisson, a modern French/International that knocks the socks off everything that’s been before.
