Restaurants in Gdańsk

  1. A

    Green Way

    Folksy blue-and-yellow space serving vegetarian and organic dishes ranging from soy cutlets to Mexican goulash. As the ultimate accolade, even nonveggies come to eat here. There’s another, more central, branch at ul Długa 11.

    Restauracja Pod Łososiem

    Founded in 1598 and particularly famous for its salmon dishes, this is one of Gdańsk’s oldest and most highly regarded restaurants. Red leather seats, brass chandeliers and a gathering of gas lamps fill out the sombre interior. The speciality drink here is Goldwasser, a thick, sweet liqueur with flakes of gold floating in it, and invented and produced in its cellars from the end of the 16th century till the outbreak of WWII.

    Gospoda Pod Wielkem Młynem

    A sure-fire tip for summer, this charming half-timbered building behind the Great Mill has the city’s best restaurant garden, straddling the tip of an island on the Radunia Canal. Romantics will lap up the secluded atmosphere, surrounded by shady trees and rustic wagon wheels. There’s also a cheaper snack menu with Polish standards such as bigos (sauerkraut dish, see boxed text, p61; 5zł).

    Restauracja Kubicki

    This family firm has served solid, tasty Polish food from its waterfront location since the last days of the German Empire in 1918, making it Gdańsk’s oldest continuously operated restaurant. There’s plenty of fresh fish on the menu, priced by weight, and a wide-ranging wine list including several Bulgarian drops. There’s a great river view from the outdoor seating.

    Piwinica Rajców

    The gods are smiling on this excellent cellar-restaurant, near the Neptune fountain and below a striking entrance topped by a statue of the god Mercury. The menu features some of the finest Polish cuisine to be had in Gdańsk, particularly its wild boar, and extends to more exotic dishes like springbok fillet.

    Kansai

    You’d expect to find fish in a seaport, but Kansai adds an exotic twist by serving sushi in full-on Japanese ambience. Waiters are dressed in traditional robes, there’s a samurai sword on the counter, and the menu has dishes made from tuna, salmon and butterfish, along with classic California rolls.

    Restauracja Gdańska

    Eating here is a memorable experience: the five banquet rooms and salons are crammed to the rafters with antique furniture, paintings, model ships, random objets d’art and nimble waiters in epaulettes. The upper-end traditional cooking makes a visit doubly worthwhile.

    Tawerna

    A historic eatery within a dark, restfully gloomy interior. It’s nautically themed, serves a Polish menu with plenty of fish, and has a great location just inside the Green Gate, which is handy for a bite between city sightseeing and river cruising.

    Bar Pod Rybą

    You wouldn’t expect much from a budget eatery at the heart of the tourist trail, but this neat central bar turns out great baked potatoes with a variety of fillings. The old photos of Gdańsk give you something to look at while eating.

    Bar Mleczny Neptun

    Ultrabudget dining in an original communist-era milk bar, though this joint is a cut above your run-of-the-mill bar mleczny, with potted plants, lace curtains, decorative tiling and old lamps for décor.

    Step through the Red Door into a relaxed, refined café atmosphere, which helps you digest the small but interesting menu of Polish and international meals.
