Restaurants & Cafes in Gdansk
Here are some recommendations depending on what you are looking for.
Local
Check out the local Gdansk cuisine in Gdanska or try Metamorfoza for a modern take on traditional local dishes. If it’s pierogi you want then Pierogarnia U Dzika is for you while Swojski Smak is great for meaty moments. Goldwasser is one of our favourites with great food and a view over the river from their terrace. Check out their collectable sets of Goldwasser liquer. 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
The legendary Bar Pod Rybą does an excellent line in baked potatoes served with a wide choice of toppings while we love Nalesnikowo for pancakes and crepes. 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, go to Masala for an Indian or test the chef’s use of spice at Buddha Lounge.
Couples
Not just for couples but Filharmonia is probably the city’s standout restaurant both for food and wonderful views from their terrace.
Splurge
Prices are still competitive compared to Scandinavia and Western Europe so nowhere is going to have you seeing stars. For a special occasion take a trip out to Dwor Oliwski in Oliwa (although avoid it in June when the place is closed to non-residents as the German football team are staying there).

Euro
A formal looking venue with a longstanding reputation as one of the best dinners in the city. There’s a real 18th century flavour to the design with lots of rococo elements and delicate antiques, and you’ll find these quietly posh surrounds complimented by a magnificent menu that includes local recipes and a decent t-bone.

Good place. Good quality food, quick service, reasonable (though more on the expensive side) prices.

Absolutely stunning. Have eaten here twice: not a single dish could have been improved on. Superb starters followed by even better main courses and finished with sublime desserts, all with flawless service....Czerwone Drzwi
