Bad news: the rooftop terrace, with its knock dead views of Gdańsk’s steepled skyline, is off limits in winter. Dine instead inside a breathtaking interior filled with interesting artwork and theatrical murals imposed on the red brick walls. Once a municipal power plant this place has seen quite a transformation, and today stands out as one of the most innovative restaurants in the region. Chefs Tomasz Kortus and Artur Wencel are responsible for an adventurous menu that makes use of the latest molecular techniques in food science (bet you never thought you’d see that in Gdańsk), with offerings including guinea fowl with yellow emulsion and brown butter. Wow indeed. (28-56zł)

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. And all at a price noticeably lower than the other top restaurants in town. The bad things? Well, once the music was slightly loud but only for a couple of minutes until somebody adjusted the volume. And the butter was hard one time. That's it, no matter how hard I try to pick holes. In short: this is easily the best restaurant in Gdansk and one of the best in the country.
